Welcome!

I'm head over heels about interactive media. I love the feedback it gives me. To look at beautiful art and have it interact in a way that moves me is the best feeling. To see a creative piece reach out and ask to be touched and played with is still fascinating to me.

I am lucky enough to be able to work in such a field of genius people and to be inspired by them. There is no other place I would want to be.

As an interactive designer and developer for over 5 years, I have worked on-site and in my own studio for a diverse list of clients ranging from small businesses to fortune 100 companies. While each project in my portfolio is unique, every minute of work on each project was done with care, due diligence, and pride.

I am currently accepting new projects.

ZepViewer 2.0

Roles: Lead Flash Developer
AS3, XML, JS, HTML, PHP
Demo: www.justinriggio.name/zep
Live site: www.zepinvest.com
This was one of my favorite projects to work on yet. I got total creative freedom to design and develop the document reader for ZepFrog. With this big project in my hands I took a look at what the user wants in a PDF Viewer. They want speed and easy access to the information. So with that knowledge I developed functions to suit the needs of the end user.

With interactive functions like search and highlight, rotate, grid view, print, page back and forth and even keyboard short cuts. I can definitely say this reader is fully interactive. This reader loads in documents that have been converted from office and PDF files. I wrote FlashVars so that a global search can be performed. Working on this project helped improve my skills and was a total blast to work on. I wrote the reader in AS3 and use XML, JS, HTML and PHP.

Spitzer Woodworking

Roles: Lead Flash Developer
AS2, HTML, AJAX
Link: www.spitzerwoodworking.com
I took a PSD mock up and created a Flash site for Spitzer Woodworking. The client asked for smooth and graceful movements on the tweens and that's what I gave him. I kept it inline with the deep wood contrast.

Also added some interactivity like support for a CMS slideshow component. This was done with AS2.

BASF Cosmetic Trends 2010 Presentation

Roles: Flash Designer
AS2
Link: www.justinriggio.name/basf/2010/template_final.swf
I did such a good job the last time that I was awarded the 2010 cosmetic trends presentation. I had the delight to edit the English version into Spanish and French. And once again the presentation proved to be a real cool project to work on.

My responsibilities included replacing the audio tracks from English to the different languages and re-doing some animation to keep in sync with the audio. Also had to edit the text on screen with the new copy. All while making sure to keep the fidelity of the original English version.

Verizon

Roles: Lead Flash Developer
AS2, HTML
Link: www.justinriggio.name/verizon
I took this project as a developer. The client asked me to embed the video into the SWF file. Most of the time this is a no no, but they needed it that way for whatever reason I don't know. It worked and they hired me 2 more times for similar projects.

The video editor on the Verizon video player project was super cool, and we worked hand in hand nicely.

Trinity Dynamics Group

Roles: Lead Developer
AS2, HTML, CSS

I was contacted by TDG a year before I started the project for the usual quote. The client needed a little time to decide and went with a friend of his. It turn out to be a bad plan, and they called me back.

I had to design the new branding for the company with the clients specs in mind. After a few revisions they were happy with the new branding and we started on the website. They loved it so much that i do all the development work for the site now.

French, Spanish, German and Italian.

I took this project as a Flash consultant for Wainscot. The client needed a all around interactive designer. To take on projects from time to time.

The biggest project was the portfolio sites. I created a template for them in AS2 with a interactive slideshow. That the in-house designers could upload photos to the site.

Seiko

Roles: Flash Designer
AS2
I was hired as a consultant to design and develop a banner for Seiko watches. I had total creative freedom to design the banner. I used some smooth transitions and some nice fades that I animated all by myself.

This project needed to be under 11k. I used photoshop to optimize the graphics down a bit and Flash to animate the banner. It was published for Flash player 6. In the end I got the size down and impressed the art director with my speed and creativity on the Seiko banner.
