A collection of images from past interactive projects is now posted online. This is a collection of older interactive projects features work for clients including; AMD, Audioramp, Blend Media, Cobalt, Design Reactor, Universal Pictures, Disney, Philips, Olympus, Shasta, and Universal Pictures.

Audio Ramp

The Audioramp.com site re-design features a unique viewing experience, that combines the "passive" viewing experience of a TV spot, with the "active" viewing experience of a website.

When the page first loads in, the user is presented with a linear-narrative Flash movie, surrounded by interactive content. This linear narrative tells the Audioramp story, and provides the user with on overview of the brand, and product offerings. Once this linear movie is completed, it resolves to an interactive screen, that provides direct access to featured product information.

To enhance the product information section, a Flash-based features demo was created. This was intended to provide a "hands-on" experience that would point out the unique features of each product.

Another aspect to the project was to create a personalized audio page, that would allow users to synchronize their MP3 audio collection. This section of the site allowed the user to browse a varitey of music generes and and customize their digital audio experience.

 Blend Media

The goal of this site was to capture the attention and interest of young, hip, new-media designers. The creative approach incorporated dynamic color combinations and powerful graphic lines, to create a bold energetic look that complimented the companies new brand.

The site featured a unique navigation concept that brought the requested content to the user, as opposed to the traditional approach of sending user to different pages.

Cobalt Networks — RaQ microsite

The RaQ4 project involved both motion graphics animation and interactive design, to create a Flash-based "Micro Site"  to support the launch of the new RaQ 4 product.

 Cobalt Networks — Qube3 microsite

The primary goal of this re-design was to streamline the navigation, improve the overall user experience, and drive traffic to the Online Store.

The design approach incorporated a series of Flash movies on each page. This engaged the viewer by combining both a "passive" and an "interactive" viewing experience.

The interactive feature allows the user to get a "hands on" feel for the product. The demo displays the front and back of the product, which is then overlayed with vital information when the users mouse rolls over certain hotspots. 

Design Reactor — Company Website

The goal of this site was to combine corporate messaging with "the spirit of motion", and present it in a crisp, bold graphic style.

The use of an animated figure in sillhouette created a variety of dynamic shapes while providing a consistent human element throughout the site. The navigation concept developed for this site allowed sales staff to customize the user experience for specific visitors. 

Kiss of the Dragon — Movie Website

The creative approach to this website featured a unique circular layout and digital illustration that utilized imagery from the film, to carry over the films "euro-asian" feel. The main navigation was presented as Chinese characters, that upon rollover, transformed into english text. The site also featured spinning circular transition effects that transported users between sections.

 Disney 'Mission Space' — Entertainment Website

The goal of this project was to create a website that would "capture the spirit of spaceflight", and promote the new MissionSpace ride at Disneyworld.

The homepage opens with an establishing shot of the ride entrance, with an audio count down. As an animated space launch commences in the background, a holographic "tour guide" materializes. This hologram greets the user, and guides them on a tour of Mission:Space.

Philips Nino – Product Launch Website

The design objective for this project was to visually express the products unique qualities and position it as a leader in the handheld PC market.

Inspiration for the sites interface was drawn from the unique  and stylish industrial design of the product. As this was a new product launch, another goal was to create a sense of mystery...a sense of unveiling that would pique curiosity about the product.

A sophisticated features section gave the user a "hands-on" feel for the product. This section allowed the user to view the product from all angle as key features were highlighted.

Olympus — Digital Camera Learn Center Microsite

The objective of this site was to create a learning environment to educate the in-store sale force of major retailers about Olympus digital photography products.

The final design provided an engaging, interactive way to learn about the products. Each section featured a different product and allowed the user to learn about specific features and where they were on the camera.  The users could also use the site as a reference tool to look up specific data about the products, or download data sheets.

 An important aspect of the site was the promotional contest that tested the users product knowledge. The users were encouraged to browse the site and learn about the products, and then take a quiz to be entered in a monthly drawing. Each quiz tested a different aspect of product knowledge; features & benefits, physical location of features on product, and real-world sales questions and answers.<br>

The final design provided users with a visually engaging, richly interactive learning and reference resource for digital photography.

Shasta 'Shortz' — Promotional Microsite

The objective of this project was to create a website experience that introduced a new product line for Shasta Cola and extended the "Shortz" product marketing concepts onto the web.

The website homepage features a blank silver soda can behind a dressing room like curtain. By clicking on one of the variety of shorts, users could "dress" the can. Each pair of shorts represented a different flavor, and a fizzing bubble transtion helps convey a "soda pop" feel.

Televisa — Entertainment Microsite — Anahî

This project involved the creation of an "Official Fan Site" for the Latin Pop sensation Anahî. The site is intended to give fans a behind-the-scene glimpe of the life of the star. The design objective was to capture the stars personality, and provide the user with a visually engaging and fun to use environment.

Televisa — Entertainment Microsite — Fernando Colunga

The "Official Fan Site" for the Latin movie star Fernando Colunga is intended to give fans a behind-the-scene glimpe of the life of the star. The design treatment takes influence  from the stars "Action Hero" image, and was intended to capture the stars personality with a visually engaging and easy to use environment. 

Universal Picture — Corporate Portal Website

In order to create a "one stop" destination to learn more about Universal Pictures properties, the creative approach to this project centered around the concept of bringing content to the user.

Rather that the traditional approch of sending users to a variety of different pages or even different sites entirely, this site featured a consistent  format that allowed the user to get an overview of the film, read a synopsis, view trailers, and even send film info to a friend. A unique navigation concept featured a rotating "sushi-boat" style menu for browsing, or a pop out menu more direct access navigation.
