PointRoll Banners for Caterpillar Progress

By Patrick | Published: June 2, 2008
As banners go, these ones I did to promote the Caterpillar Progress site are pretty cool. They are your typical annoying ones that open over page content when rolled over. I did 3 different sizes of the ad. And I used the PointRoll Flash API for tracking.

LED Animation for Dayton Flyers Basketball

By Patrick | Published: June 4, 2005
I created two animations for the Dayton Flyers Basketball 04-05 and 05-06 season.
