Welcome to the Site
This is the online presence of Andrew Sevenson - interactive developer, ocassional graphic designer and full time nerd - in a good way.
Here you will find a collection of my work ranging from print, web, actionscript 3 experiments, simple games, etc, etc... basically anything that may justify me having an online presence outside of facebook.
But thats enough from me - please feel free to browse the site, leave some comments and hopefully have a little fun.

Actionscript experiments and discoveries.
Online Games

Jetstar Photo Competition Site
Last year, Jetstar ran a photography competition that was open to both amateurs and professionals. There were 5 categories that people could enter, with the only requirement being that the photograph be taken in one of the destinations that Jestar flies to.
Overall the site was a big success and ended up getting over 35,000 entries.
The entire site was built in Flash and working at Visual Jazz, I was on the team that helped put it all together.
You can check out the site at http://www.jetstarphotocomp.com/ then read on here for a brief run through of what I did on it.
New Visual Jazz Site
Apparently it has taken numerous years of design, development.. then some more design.. and some more dev… coffee, design… dev.. etc. but Visual Jazz (the place where I work) has finally got a new website up and running. Yay!
Hooray for Ramblings…
Its been a while, but I have finally gotten around to doing some updates on my site. Hooray.
One of the new updates is this new section dedicated to random, trivial stuff that spews out of my brain. I would post a link to it, but if you are reading this you are most likely already in the Ramblings section, and I wouldn’t want to create an infinite loop that could destroy the world.
DisplacementMapFilter Tester
Recently I did some work on the a project that required me to use some Displacement Maps. I have never used them before, but after playing with them for a bit I soon realised something… they are very awesome.
They do take a little bit of getting used to, so to help with the experimentation I created this little app that makes it easy to test out different image and maps combinations.
Testing Regular Expressions in ActionScript 3
I’m by no means an expert on Regular Expressions. I mean, I get what they do, and can see their awesomeness, but damn they do my head in sometimes.
To help myself out, I wrote a quick little Flex app that lets you test how a regular expression will work with a particular string. It lets you try out all the Flash Regular Expression methods and see each of the results.
To top it all off, I put together a quick overview of the different Flash Regular Expression methods that are available, as well as a short overview of the Regular Expression syntax.
