For a visual account of the journey we have been on, check out our Behance profile. Individual credit goes to Russ Henderson for his conceptualisation and art direction, and to David Souch for his illustration and graphic design skills.

The next step for us is to develop some useful resources on HTML5. Watch this space for my white paper on the subject and handy tutorial videos on using Adobe Edge. We’re also working on our own mini-movie animation based on the animographic.

It is always important to ensure your browsers are up to date, not only for security reasons, but for the new features and HTML5 support. We created our animation using Adobe Edge, which is still in development by Adobe. We did say this was cutting-edge stuff…
