Iconverse approached us at ReadyAbout to create a visually pleasing PowerPoint sales presentation. Our objective was to design compelling eye-appealing graphics to an otherwise monotonous statistical information.

Another slide in the presentation. The 3-D effect was simulated in Photoshop.

One more slide in the presentation. Approximately 50 slides were created in total.

Skyva is a provider of innovative software where systems seamlessly link the business process of suppliers, buyers, and customers. ReadyAbout gave us the unique opportunity to create a splash page for one of their premiere applications. Since Skyva promoted their product as an innovative way for business to streamline their information, my concept was a simple symbolic transformation, from a 2 dimensional grid to a rising and evolving 3 dimensional shape. A way of understanding the concept was that Skyva was taking a traditional "brick and mortar" company to a futuristic new level.

Similar to iConverse, Thomson Financial Services needed a variety of PowerPoint presentation slides for their quarterly meetings. Again, our job as designers was to transform their statistical data into visually pleasing graphics.

Another slide out of many, created for Thomson. Although it took some time, I was pleased with the translucent and simulated 3D effect. It almost looks like jello.

Here are examples of my final project in a 3D Studio Max class I took part in at RISD. The examples in the room our actual toy objects that I bought and rendered as 3D models.

Their are really two parts in creating a 3 dimensional space. One, of course, is the actual object modeling, but the other and sometimes underrated half is adding all the materials. Applying the materials to make each object's surface really can make or break the project. Actual scans of wood were used and applied to the floor and the toy chest.

I wanted to display a dramatic lighting source. I figured this would give the colors of the materials some pop. What is really impressive about the software is that you can choose a source of light which would accurately render a lighting source accurately on the time of day, of a particular month and even of the year.

A real entertaining project! ReadyAbout decided to let me loose and create a fun way of displaying our FAQ portion of our Web site. After a few ideas, we decided to create an interactive trivia game which included a character named "Webster". However silly the game got, I think we were successful in making a conventional information section uncommonly enjoyable.

Although the trivia game was authored in Flash, the character and most of the animations were traditionally drawn out as single-cell animation. It took patience, but in the end, I was pleased with the results.

The main menu which contains seven questions with 3 possible answers for each. Twenty-one sequences were created in all.

Based on the same idea as ReadyAbout's Webster project, I created a trivia game prototype and submitted it to a contest sponsored by the True Majority organization. The True Majority, an organization created by Ben Cohen, co-owner of Ben and Jerry's, was looking for a few good designers to create an advertisement that was fun and provocative. The chosen advertisement would help the organization spread the message.

Although I did only a few animations, the prototype illustrates the projects' possibilities.

I wonder if Mr. Cohen appreciated himself in cartoon form.

My very first project while employed at ReadyAbout Interactive. Xchange Applications, a steady client of ReadyAbout, approached us to develope an interactive CD-ROM for their sales representatives. My responsibilities were to design an interface for the CD and organize and illustrate all the graphics for each page.

Although I loosely adhered to Xchange's style guide, I did take some liberties in developing the interface. The blue, translucent-like interface was largely influenced by my own Macintosh's design. The 3 dimensional effects, as seen in this example were "embossed" in Photoshop.

One of the many examples of organizing their information for each scene.

Based on the interface of the previous Change CD-ROM, I designed a second interface for a mini portfolio CD for ReadyAbout Interactive. The CD contained all of the past works ReadyAbout did for Xchange Applications and was used as another sales tool.

Another opportunity to create visually pleasing PowerPoint Slides for Xchange Applications.

A visual way to showing a filtering system their new application product can perform.

Many of the illustrations were directed by the executives of Xchange, and it would seem that they are the only ones that could possibly understand them.

I'm not even going to start to explain this one.
