Kia Kaha Media publishes a number of monthly magazines and wanted to bring them into the digital realm. We built them an iPad app that allows users to look through their collection, preview and buy any issue.
We also built an end to end solution giving Kia Kaha Media the tools to export from inDesign, upload to our server, price in iTunes for in-app purchases and send push notifications to readers of each magazine.

We built BikeRide, a community based cycling iPhone app & website for RaboDirect. The idea is to bring together cyclists into a community where they can easily share their favourtie rides.
Users download the app, sign up and can start recording their own rides to share with the community straight away, or find rides that start nearby.
As users ride courses they get achievements, including the coveted yellow jersey for holding the fastest time on the course. There are also global achievements for holding the most of a certain achievements, such as king of the hill for riding the most extreme rides. (via BikeRide Crowd Sourced Cycling App | Judson Steel)
We built the latest product in the FutureTech stable – Innov8nz a visual directory framework. Our solution consists of both a cloud based server and an iPad client.
It was important that the directory functioned using touch, pinch and swipe gestures that are natural to the iPad. The interface we created has a very spatial feel and users can pinch and swipe throughout this space to find relevant information. (via innov8nz Digital Directory | Judson Steel)

Woot, my People’s Orchard design is featured on the Red Bubble homepage today!
It’s the ultimate cool car game. It puts 3000bhp drag racing doorslammers vs ultra rare classics vs insane supercharged muscle cars vs highly strung drifting weapons and more. In what other game would you see a monster truck going up against a 1970s Formula 1 racing car? This is Cool Car Battles. Use your cunning to challenge your opponent, but there’s a twist. If you’re about to beat them, they might just challenge you back in a drift, drag or circuit race, car show or off-road event. Will you still win? (via Cool Car Battles | Judson Steel)
