In this section, I outline some multimedia I've created in my professional career. I am comfortable with a variety of professional multimedia applications, including Flash, Premier, Director, Sound Edit, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Federation slideshows, Museum Victoria
I designed this multimedia presentation to look good at all screen resolutions. The interface was kept simple so the visitor's attention was focused on the content. I experimented with buttons to control the presentation, but found that people who don't traditionally view multimedia more easily understood using text as controls. I took particular care to keep the controls in the same place on the screen in the Collection Items display, though the content and text moved as appropriate.

I designed a small Flash display to help users know if they could view Flash versions of content. This enabled us to present users with the knowledge to make a choice and avoid redirecting them to Flash content if they preferred to view html content. This technique can be used to embed plug-in detection seamlessly in the user-interface. The example below can be adapted to fit any design.
Federation screensaver, Museum Victoria
The screensaver was designed and produced in Flash and then converted with ScreenSaver Plus.
