This was a nice and complex project, an online postcard generator.

The system is huge, it includes:

• A full web application with user system, payment gateway, APIs for integration with a separate iPhone application
• 3x Flash modules for rendering, as well as one with a complex editing interface
• Supporting website

Although things unfortunately eventually ended badly here (in a word - budget) it is worth mentioning due to the sheer amount of work completed.
