The Historic New Orleans Collection approached us recently, asking for an enhanced method to accept online donations. We developed a cost-effective but robust PayPal-based system and integrated it into their internally-designed and managed site. The interface provides a number of options, including variable and recurring scheduled payments, a ‘give anonymously’ toggle, and a ‘tribute gift’ attribution mechanism – all tucked into a clean, nested form via jquery sliders.

We recently developed an interactive CD for Tulane’s School of Social Work. Intended primarily for recruiting purposes, it features an attractive, kiosk-style multimedia viewer. It was created using Adobe Flash, then exported as standalone players for both Windows and Mac. This production method allowed us to easily include custom branding, layout and page transitions that would easily translate across multiple software platforms. We handled design, development and production of 1000 pieces delivered to Tulane.

All of the animation and dynamic interaction for this piece was programmed with Actionscript.
