Arnold Woldwide and Solarsilk team up to create customizable Olympics banners

Launch Project
Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010


Arnold Worldwide contracted Solarsilk to build a banner for Carnival Cruiselines where users can submit a photo that will later appear in that banner, live on the web.

The banner was built for Flash 10, which allows the user to choose an image from his/her computer, and load the image directly into Flash (Flash 9 requires an image upload and download). The banner creates a jpg file and uploads it along with user data to PointRoll.  The PointRoll backend pushes the submission into a moderation system.  After moderation, the user gets an approval email with a link to NBCOlympics.com/athletes, where their picture appears in the banner for the world to see.
