Science Museum
With Spiral we worked on the new Atmosphere gallery at the Science Museum. This was a huge project, we made 4 interactives for it and each of them was incredibly detailed in content and look. We worked closely with the museum to get the correct message across to the visitor and employed some great illustrators to give each interactive its own unique look.

Pizza Express
For Pizza Express we made a series of mini games for their flag ship resturant in Richmond. Working with Spiral we created 3 games aimed at 4 to 12 year olds. The games are fun, quick and simple and proved to be incredibly popular.

Coca-Cola
The Coca-Cola Ideas Farm is an internal site for Coca-Cola. It is designed so it’s staff can add and express ideas to the rest of the Coca-Cola group. Working with Stuart Meredith at Graphics Monkey we created the home page to this site. Based around the simple concept of ideas growing the Coca-Cola bottles shadow create the ideas tree. The best ideas from users can be added to the tree by an administrator. The site is flexible enough to be visible on many different resolution (some of the staff still use 800×600 resolution screen).
This is a link to a version of the home page on my site www.simonlevitt.com/cocacola.

P for Production
I was asked to create a showcase website for this great production studio in central London. We have loads of videos on there of each the directors and some nice transitions. I’ll write a little about the crazy tile flipping fun in a later post. It might seem easy to do but to keep CPU usage down I approached this a little differently.

I was asked to be lead developer on Imagination’s interactives for the Ford Auto Shows. It was a large udertaking and we put together a team of 7 developers to work on 9 interactives over 3 months. The work was fairly intense with the ideas behind most of the interactives constantly changing. However the team was really good and after some long hours we managed to pull it off.
Lots of interactives, not much time…jobs a good’un.

Hamyard
Hamyard are a talented motion graphics and design company. I developed their website with them. It only took us two weeks, so it was a quick turn around. The content is entirely up datable through xml and external assets. Hamyard have put some great videos up there and you have to love the fantastic background. There are a few things I would like to improve, especially the loading time, maybe we’ll get a chance to do it sometime soon.
University of Bedfordshire – Seminar
I was lucky enough to be asked to give a talk at the University of Bedfordshire. It was really an overview of Flash, what it can do and how it works. After the lecture some of the students stayed for a workshop on creating animations with code.

- Cocoon End
I’ve finally finished work on the interactives for the new wing of the Natural History Museum – the Darwin Centre. It was a massive project and is biggest set of interactives in a museum in Britain. Initially I was invited in to help out on some parts of the projects that had gone off track. This went well and I was put in charge, as Technical Director, of the Cocoon End. The whole project has been incredibly successful and the museum visitors love it!
