Pepsi Can Hands FR - Banner Ads

French version of the Pepsi Can Hands build done for Proximity Toronto.

One thing I should probably add is this was a polite load banner build which is why we have so many pngs.

CLOOP $35

Good idea and a nice looking product where you remove your camera strap and attach it to the "CLoop" that attaches to your tripod mount on the bottom.

Watch the video to see all the benefits are with this work around.

Gillette Hair Configurator - Banner Ad

Around the same time as the rubicks cube banner build I had to take on another project. Again another freelancer dropped it and I had to pick it up and save the project.

M&M Fireworks - Banner Ads

My first M&M banner ad campaign that I got to work on. Again another pick up and save project for Proximity Toronto. Never the less it was fun to work on.

M&M Superbowl - Banner Ads

This was a crazy banner build and another project I had to pick up because another dev dropped the ball. Required a lot of optimization and recoding to get it half decent. If only I had the original to show you how bad it was before.

MSN Adcenter - Banner Ads

Banner build for MSN where I had to put together a huge build for the MSN Adcenter.

Nuts and Bolts on Nuts and Bolts

This site has a wicked explanation on nuts and bolts. Something I needed to clarify when doing some research on a DIY.

JScott Campbell - Covers

Love his work can't get enough!

JScott Campbell - Disney Pinups Remastered

Impressive as always. It's such a visual treat to see his work. I get so inspired when I see his drawings.

Photolife What a Polarizer Filter Does

This is exactly what I need to get for some of the special product shots that I do.

FFXIV Fatigue System

I really like the way they explain how the fatigue system works. I think I will use this as the basis for my tutorials.

iPhone 4 Photoshoot

I like how inspirational this is but there are some things you need to be aware of before you can produce great shots like this. Sure Lee has proved you don't need hardcore hardware. However, he did use a ton of hardcore lights and he did send it out to a professional retoucher. So bottom line is you're going to need mad photoshop skills, lots of different lights and backdrops before you can produce the same kind of quality photos.

Light Levels & Lumens

LIGHT LEVELS & LUMENS
Lumens represents the amount of light emitted by a light source, such as a light bulb. Following are typical lumens levels for various light (CFL) bulbs. Realize that recommended light levels will vary based on the person and the task. When purchasing light bulbs, however, don't assume that more watts means more light, more lumens means more light.
Lumens		Efficiacy (lumens/watt)
122	15 watt incandescent	8
125	3 watt CFL	41
185	15 watt krypton	12
210	25 watt incandescent	8
	ambient lighting
400	9 watt CFL	44
460	40 watt incandescent	12
500	10 watt CFL	50
	general room lighting
890	60 watt incandescent	15
900	15 CFL	60
1,180	75 watt incandescent	16
1,200	20 watt CFL	60
1,380	23 watt CFL	60

1,750	29 watt CFL	60
2,780	39 watt CFL	71

Light on a surface (such as a tabletop) is referred to as illuminance, which is typically represented by footcandles (lumens per square foot, equal to 10.76 lux) or lux (lumens per square meter, equal to 0.092903 footcandles).

Really cool example of Google Maps and jQuery.

HomeDepot PVC list

Just a quick link to PVC results. It helps me think about other contraptions that can be made.

The 4 Big Myths of Profile Pictures

Interesting numbers.  Glad I'm past the ABS pics as the numbers show if you're in your 30's the results are far less worthwhile.

FedEx Barcode FR - Banner Ads

French version of the FedEX banner ads.

FedEX Barcode EN - Banner Ads

I loved working on this project. Really challenging getting the barcodes to reveal like that and coming up with that transition but the end results are spectacular.

FedEX Barcode Expandable - Banner Ads

A worrying person who is pacing back and forth is relieved to find out that his package has arrive in time by the FedEX people.

Envision Financial Home & Travel - Banner Ads

The home insurance banner ad was kind of tricky. You can't scale text that big without it distorting. The best way is to do a manual scale on the text element vs typing in a scale number.

Envision Financial Golf & Vision - Banner Ads

The golf banner ad was based off the Crown Royale banner ad. The vision ad was made to look like you're trying to focus in on the 4%.

Doritos Tandoori FR - Banner Ads

French version of the Doritos Tandoori expandable banner ads.

Doritos Tandoori EN - Flash Banner Ad

Intensive flash banner ad for Doritos new Tandoori flavour. The idea was to convey a different dance for each of the flavours. This required lots of cropping and touching up of the photos and had a really tight timeline. The MTV transition and how everything got put together really made the client happy.

Crown Royal - Flash Banner Ad

A simple expandable flash banner ad for Crown Royal. I thought this flash ad could have been a lot more fun if they wanted it to be more interactive where you could possibly miss. But in the end the client wanted the end user to always win.
