Fruits of My Labor
So my project FINALLY went live! It's about time, too. I was at work til about 6:45 making sure it launched without a problem. We have a few things to add to it still so it's not perfect but it's pretty good so far. One of the back-end guys messed up a query which caused it to send some empty data to my app and because my app shouldn't receive empty data it failed at one point. So I'll be putting in some extra checks to make sure it doesn't do that if it receives unexpected data (or lack thereof). Without further ado, I give you my project: http://www.playboystore.com/landingpages/customizer.php?dept=women

Haha, I didn't know you were web-designing for Playboy! XD That's really cool though! The customization thingy (which is what you programmed I gather?) functions very smoothly. :)
Thank you very much. Not so much a designer as a developer, really. I can't design for the life of me :-P but I can code just about anything ;) (if I do say so myself). We handle lots of brands besides just Playboy's store. There's a laundry-list of websites we handle like Baby Phat and DKNY just to name a few.
Looks great! So how do you guys work typically- is there a designer paired with a developer or a team? Do you guys work in parallel or is the design pretty structured before the first implementation? Like the scaled image that scales up into full view when you select a garment- was that a design idea or something you came up with? Like I mentioned before, the group I work in writes bank software- we don't have designers for it because its about 90% server back end code. So I'm really curious how groups like yours work- it sounds like fun!
Today was my presentation for my "second iteration" for this class Im in. The project is a visualization of an ontology, so its basically a graph + mechanism to edit instances using forms that are dynamically generated from the back end ontology. The prototype is www.tristatetheatreconvention.com/steve/hci it doesn't do much right now, being a prototype, but I would certainly appreciate some feedback if you are bored at some point! If not, no worries

Nobody's paired with anyone. First it goes to the design department for them to decide what it looks like (this is stupid because the design also dictates how it functions). Then it comes to us and we implement it. As for the scaled images, that was my idea. They merely gave me a picture of the image when it's part of the 4 garment selection and then another image of when it's selected. I decided how it got from one to the other.
Your flex app looks nice btw. I love making things that automate based on back-end data (usually with PHP, not actionscript). I don't know exactly what it's supposed to do or anything so I can't give you a heck of a lot of feedback tho, sorry.
