Additional Design Projects.
I produced over 50 of these across 2-3 years. They shot all the video in house, I received DVDs with raw video to composite. The in-house team focused on procuring the video and the larger marketing issues while I took on the design and execution. This is only one style. There were about two dozen different ‘styles’. Many were in support of resellers of Transamerica financial products. So I would match the look and feel of the insurance or company HR. Then these would help educate and guide employees benefit choices. Some were for internal sales team use. Starting as simple SWF’s they evolved into more complicated executables and finally larger all video formats. The in-house division was based in Los Angeles and was disbanded sometime around 2005-2007. I don’t know how Transamerica handles marketing now.
The sound is funky because of the extraction and patching onto the exported videos I mentioned in my email.
A VERY old Cybermedia homepage. I was responsible not only for the U.S. version but also designing and building several foreign country support sites as well as reseller support sites. I created a lot of illustrations for some of the sites. This was before inexpensive and effective stock photography and it was easier to get everyone onboard with images that the specific countries gave a thumbs-up to.
Spin of the Day. My first responsibility for Sony. It seems so primitive now!
I developed and relaunched the website for Aclipse in about 2014. The key to this was integrating with blogs and outside material. I made generous use of stock photography. It was a simpler age online and their business model was changing. This was live for a few years. Everything online dies quickly!
Card Sharks (Pearson Television) was a support site for the gameshow relaunch, which lasted about 6 months. I designed and built the entire site using Dreamweaver I believe along with a bit of handcoding. It was then handed over to I.T to integrate with backend systems. Back then one person could still do that.
One of my very earliest job at Persoft Software where we shipped software in boxes. A great job that kicked off my technical learning.
Apple Computer. I designed and illustrated the icons for the QuickTime Learning materials. I was employed at RAZA Design in Irvine at the time. The video sleeves, CD-ROM sleeves and support material were initiated and completed in about 3 months and delivered to the show floor of MacWorld.
eCitydeals was an early website in the municipality reselling space. I did the logo design, the website and myriad support materials. This was a start-up and lasted about 1.5 years.
