This is one of a series of online applications for Fine Cooking that allows members to create a recipe by dragging and dropping ingredients.

A Flash-based game that allows entrants to design a sewing room from a choice of decor options including furniture and equipment from the game’s sponsors. I created all the art for the background and incorporated photos from the sponsors. I then assembled and coded the whole thing in Flex 3 in about a week.
The game has proven very successful, with over 5000 entries in less than a month, greatly increasing the site’s traffic and memberships. It has been the largest traffic draw the site has ever had.
