Stealth Lamp – Mashed up by Katerina Karagianni.
Just wanted to thank Katerina Karagianni for mashing up my Stealth Lamp. Katerina is a postgrad of IaaC in Barcelona. She mashed my up lamp as part of a course on Open Source design. She has sent me the DXF, but I really want to see what the final lamp looks like.Read Stealth Lamp – Mashed up by Katerina Karagianni. -

ActionScript 3.0 – O’Reilly
As part of my work as an ‘interaction designer’ I have found that I’m having to do a lot of interactive prototypes and have found flash as the most versatile tool for development.
