Here are some better images to show the front & back of the Crunchy Frog sweet packaging I made. I’ve also made the full artwork available for download here, which will allow anyone that’s interested to make their own complete fake sweet packaging. Please note that by downloading the file you agree to use it only for personal, non-commercial purposes.

This is a bit of a sneaky peek at something i’ve been working on this week, i’ll post the full & proper thing up sometime later in the week.

I’ve been a fan of Adam & Joe since they were on the telly, but I didn’t realise they had a radio show until last year when I discovered podcasts. The weekly download keeps me going into the early hours at work & doubtless annoys the hell out of the people sitting next to me when I start giggling like a loon & spitting coffee everywhere.
As part of my program of teaching myself Flash I decided to try & extend the Podmax illustration I did & to try & make it animated. This then developed into trying to make it fully interactive. The results can be seen below.
There are currently 5 clickable buttons that trigger sound clips & 2 draggable objects. If anyone has any suggestions for sound clips they’d like including as extra buttons then please let me know & i’ll try to include them. When I get chance & learn more Flash/Actionscript I’ll add extra bits & bobs & more sounds, etc.
For now enjoy…
