NRL footy quiz

I've made two of these quizzes - and I'm sure there are more to come. The folks over in the sport department saw a quiz of a similar design online and asked me to repurpose and design a quiz for NRL trading cards. The first quiz did so well, we've pulled out the most obscure cards for the 'masterclass' version.

Good luck!  You can share your score with friends and family on facebook after completing the quiz thanks to my dynamic social updating script.

The real challenge with this assignment was to make the 16 NRL teams look good together.  I tried alphabetical order. I tried greying out the team colours to maybe make the logos more recognisable. But in the end - rainbow order prevailed. Rainbow order showcases the most exciting parts of any professional sport: the logo and the team colours. Also the order may help users remember their team location when they revisit the page.

Top 10 Movies of 2014

Complicated rehash of the 25 things for summer and 2014 music interactives.
Originally the movie trailers were given to me as iframes - but it turns out you cannot command a video in an iframe to stop or pause or play - instead the video must be inline the page.
I had to go each movie asset/trailer in the online content system, suppress the ads, grab the right size clip and find the thumbnail. There are about forty videos amongst all the reviewers and the main page. Enough complaining, you can find the interactive a little ways down the page.
