I Won Somthing

My brother submitted websites we created in the Egypt Web Awards 2009 contest. and he won a gold, and I won a Silver, but in different categories. the website I won with was Aroma Creatives that I developed back when I was working in Aroma. I've always known it worth something. the funny thing is that I quitted web development and left Aroma right after I finished it.

Aroma Creatives

it's been 3 months now, since I got the job here in "Aroma". it's like hell to me. I'm not built for this.. wake up early every morning, ride the subway down town, sit in front of desktop monitor for like 10 hours or more!! and guess what.. all I can see is the code lines that I write! nothing more. I didn't even noticed that it was 3 months till now.

I did some good work, but it was all canceled. they say that canceled projects are more than the accepted ones. and there is nothing wrong with that!! I say it is totally frustrating.

The only good thing that I did here is the website of the creative division of the company and it's called "Aroma Creatives" this project took me a very long time to complete. it's like 4000 lines of code! all in actionscript. I think what is good about it that it didn't have a deadline and I knew it won't be canceled. I wish I could show you the CMS, but here is the link to the front end website. it's the best website I ever did.

Aroma

I got the job in "Aroma" after I discovered that they are the leader studio in media advertising in Egypt, they are the best, and I got a nice salary. and now I'm sitting beside my brother in the web development department.

My first task was a web animation for a website of an agency named "look" the idea was to take the double O in look "oo" and use them in animated presentation of the website pages.

I did it trying to impress the creative director, so I can transfer myself from the web development department to the creative department. I don't know if it's going to work, but they need me here in the web department. they say that my experience in web design and development exceeded my experience in drawing and animation. it was like they punched me in the face!

Spectrum

I'm not sure if I should show you this. I did this job back when I was working on my graduation project. it's not that good, it was for some biotechnology company called "Spectrum", I used a purchased template design, no animation at all, few actionscript lines and I didn't do a CMS, I confess.. I did it only for money.

ETC

 Friend of my brother introduced us to the owner of a textile auxiliary company called The Egyptian Turkish Company (ETC) we made him a proposal for a website plan. and we showed him a demo website along with an advertising animation intro. we didn't get the job yet. but I'd say that unlike online marketing.. local marketing is really frustrating :-s

Aftershock

Our friend from Virginia US who was a client at first, now became more of a business partner to Apex. since my debut in actionscript "Hawaii Luxury Stone" he managed to get me more than one job. I'm very enthusiastic about the challenges.

Here is one job witch is in the same style, CMS included. it's a website for a company in flooring business called Better Floors Inc. I guess I started a luxury trend or something :)

Triumph

Apex gained some power. and now we have multiple online clients, we are fast learners, so we picked it up pretty fast. I've never thought that I'll get that good with code. it appears that I like programming after all, thanks to by brother who taught how to use actionscript. I'm discovering myself all over again.

My first full dynamic website was for a company that sells luxury granite called "Hawaii Luxury Stone" I did the website complete with a CMS (Control Management System) it's fully dynamic, fully interactive, easy to update and manage, very clean and neat and of course.. has a very high budget :D

The CMS part was more like application development. dragging and dropping, image cropping, real-time editing, auto-saving and error reporting system. it's all object oriented and full proof. for me.. it was a triumph!

I did it all in Flash! beside a little php scripting just for writing files and sending e-mails. It is so so sad that I can't show you the CMS but here is the link to the website itself :

Salata

It was a fun thing to do. me and a bunch of my old friends and neighbors decided to have our own online community! we called it "Salata" witch means "Salad" as an indication to the variety of  people and subjects on the forum. I built the website using a PHPBB script, and gave it a Template design, and a set of icons and emoticons.

Tooners

Me and my colleagues "Sabry", "Adham" and "Galal" we upgraded our online page from team.itgo.com to tooners.itgo.com, I did the new webpage in Flash too. check it out, it looks so cool.

Rock4me

This was a header for a Rock music website. the project was canceled!

Me2resh

My teammate "Me2resh" built a forum goes by me2resh.com, he gained a good popularity. and now he wants me to help him to redesign the website. it started with the logo that resembles a cat with "M" letter on it's head. and way to the icons, buttons, avatars and emoticons.

Scriptlance

Online job service called scriptlance.com became my interest these days. it's mainly about web design and development, but it welcomes Flash animators as they are more needed around recently.

Me as "Grayhand", my brother as "Letum" and his friend as "Me2resh" are forming a team. we plan on invading Scriptlance and the web industry in general. Online jobs are more available and less boring in this field. we decided to call our team "Apex". we are in the process of building a website for the team with the address apexscript.com

Xoom Zoom was my first job on Scriptlance,  it's a PPC (pay per click) search Engine  for a client in California US, I designed the logo and did the banner animation for him.

Actionscript

My experience with Flash Actionscript isn't that much, But I'm feeling close to it's structure and method. I don't know if I'm going to use it someday in professional way. but i don't imagine myself as a programmer! anyway I'm already started using it.

Me and Three of my friends in college decided to form a work team and we called id simply "Team" we needed to build a website to view our works. influenced by some cool interactive Flash websites, I used Flash to build a small world for our team. and using action script, I gave it cool interactive navigation.

This is "Team World".. use the red arrows circle it. :D
