Artistorm.com
is an online art gallery aimed at helping small time
artists sell their art online.
The site features a unique
image viewer
that I developed using Macromedia (now Adobe) Flash.
The Image Viewer allows for a user to view a thumbnail of the image then zoom
into a large high res version of the image. Using this viewer, Artistorm was
able to display an image that would normally be to large for the design of the
site and to fit in a normal window. A tool developed by Artistorm allows
artists to create "areas of intrest" that will show highlights on the image
and provide a small note about the particular area. The information is saved
into an xml file which is simply just loaded back into the flash viewer.
Currently, Artistorm has entered into the
Burton D. Morgan Entrepreneurial Competition
and is hoping to win the contest to help build the buisness.
