Kevin Mazur Admin Tools
2006
Kevin Mazur is a celebrity photographer whom the FORM Group designed a website for. Jeff Kahooilihala created the look for the site. My task was to create a admin system in Flash that seamlessly integrated with the front end.
I added some of my own design styles to the data, but for the most part, tried to follow Jeff’s look. The admin system allows an admin user to create a gallery then search for images and “drop” them in the gallery. All the animations were done with Actionscript. In the end, admin users can manage images and galleries; all tied right into the flash movie on the front end.
The front end was a combination of a nice little piece of code by Macc/IpariGrafika, modified to load dynamic data pulled from the database and images. Also, a slideshow element flips the pages automatically.
Since Jeff did the design on this one, it was really pretty simple to design the admin system right in Flash, creating elements as I needed them. The back-end of the system was created in PHP/MySQL and the control part was built with Actionscript 2.0.
