The old reliable. Not sure if the demand for one-off web design will ever be templated away, but the demand for original design always comes into play with larger outfits. Many of the below examples were one arm of corporate identity packages consisting of everything from logo and business card designs, to multimedia CDs, packaging and digital signeage.
IAB standards, clicktags, statistical tracking through Eyeblaster, Eyewonder, Atlas, and PointRoll, oftentimes incorporating dynamic data feeds. Rich media ads have traditionally demanded tight turnaround and quick creative thinking on your feet. A one man creative team is not uncommon.
Thanks to Moxie, one of the best and most forward-looking agencies I've ever worked with, the "agency of the future" as they've branded themselves, I've done a few Facebook application pieces as well.
USB executables, Silverlight apps, Facebook apps, Adobe Air apps, kiosk interfaces, widgets, CD/DVD ROM. Well, due to the format of the content, I just can't present it all for download on this site. But please feel free to contact me and I'll gladly send you some of my work in these categories.
The Volvo NextFace program was a call to all dealers nationwide to implement the sleek and modern NextFace identity to Volvo dealership appointments and business materials. This was a demonstration touch screen application that I designed primarily in Illustrator, did the sound design for as well as coding and animating in Flash. With the help of Sivilian, I also arranged the design and shipping of two gorgeous kiosks from China. The presentation took place in San Antonio, Texas at the Westin La Cantera Hotel for a high-profile dealer conference attended by hundreds.
This was done for Verizon Wireless as an end-cap kiosk for Circuit City. The designs were done in Photoshop and handed to video designers to implement. It was then incorporated into a Flash shell that allowed the user to select many such video features via touch screen. This could just as easily fall under the category of digital signeage, which was something I'd work on quite a bit when I was with Moxie Interactive.
*Note: The video is heavy on this one and might take a second to load.
A picture's worth a thousand words, but at 30 frames per second, a 30 second clip is worth 900 pictures . . . exactly. The power of motion graphics is undeniable. Without further ado, I present to you my forté; national award winning work in which I've stretch the limits of what a small agency is capable of with one computer and a copy of Flash, Premiere, After Effects and Adobe Audition. Many of the below are collaborative works in my former role as interactive director at Steam Advertising and Design:
Identity material that is both engaging and practical, speaking to the latest in contemporary design.
Logo concepts for My Coke Rewards "Trickle Up" campaign. This execution did not go to market.
Designed in Illustrator.
Back in high school, before this newfangled Internet contraption, I experimented with different styles of sketch. I find the woodcuts, drawings and engravings of Hermetic art from the 16th through 18th century particularly attractive in their bizzare and enigmatic nature.
I am well equipped and experienced in product and event photography, as well as photo retouching, which often comes in handy when desigining for interactive.
