			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So check this out.</p>
<p>Part of my job at WildCard Systems requires that I help out the Systems department with one of our main turnkey solutions we call &#8216;My Accounts&#8217;. These &#8216;My Account&#8217; sites are basically for any bank (that can afford this program) wanting to offer gift cards, payroll, or just standard debit cards to their customers. These cards can be used wherever Visa is accepted and offer an online transaction history, reloadable options, and a couple other features depending on the program.</p>
<p>My role is to basically make the template look pretty by following the branding guidelines set by the bank, and formulate a color scheme within the template that keeps harmony and professionalism. I use a couple different proprietary tools at WildCard to piece this stuff together, typically cranking out a couple a week.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3479/3309399255_57d6e8b25a_o.jpg" alt="Blog photos (2004-2008)" width="408" height="306" /></p>
<p>Well, just the other day I finally received my <strong>&#8220;Grocery Card&#8221; refund/gift card</strong> for purchasing 4 brand new GoodYear tires for my Jeep back in July. I opened the packaging material, and typed in www.mycardonline.net and discovered that this program was run through WildCard. Now, this particular &#8216;My Account&#8217; didn&#8217;t involve me, but it was still pretty neat to see a product of WildCard in the real world up and running!</p>

<p>Been working diligently on this <strong>interactive training</strong> at WildCard for <strong>Travelex</strong>, the world&#8217;s largest foreign exchange company. This application will be utilized at their training &amp; sales departments to better educate about the 3 cards they offer.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve completed the architecture, animation, and navigation system, and am currently plugging in content as quickly as possible before I start my vaca on Friday. Screenshot on the left is what the development environment looks like inside of Flash, and on the right is a frame of the finished product.</p>
