SPROUT OFFICIAL RELEASE

We would like to announce the official release of our web application prototype, Sprout! For the past twenty weeks we, the Xamlhouse team, have been hard at work exploring Microsoft Expression Studio software and the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in. Sprout, does not mark the end of our journey as interactive designers and developers, but rather the beginning to our careers.

Today we begin our real exploration, but we leave behind our knowledge via our blog, in hopes that it may help others who are designing for, developing for, or just enthusiastic about Silverlight.

• Idea:
  These are all mini-applications done in Silverlight. The first one is examples of tweening and simple button rollovers. The second one is for image manipulation where you can alter the opacity size and rotation of an image. The next four are accordions; a horizontal and vertical example, with color variations and some “filler” content. This is a mock-up of what the final project will be for my New Media Team Project class.
