I found a folder which had some work from a few years back, 7 years to be exact! The folder was rescued from a Zip disk but majority of the content was lost due to bouncing around in a desk drawer.

A wee gem was in that folder… an experimental interface for a radio show “The Electric Company” on Christchurch’s RDU98.5FM. The dot typographic logo and shape were from their logo that I designed. Here it is:

The Electric Company Interface

Note:The press events on the faces lead to pages that don’t exist! So ignore any warnings. I don’t have the fla’s anymore.

It was drawn as flat shapes that I imported and extruded inside 3D max. It was exported using a plug-in from Swift3D as frame by frame animations. I remember having a lot of issues with unclosed faces shooting off artifacts – you can still see them!

It is amazing how much work you lose over time, I suppose it is the nature of working online – sites come and go. So I was quite excited to find this piece of work from 2001
