This Flash site is from a client pitch that, unfortunately, never made it past the initial stages. It was going to be a companion website to a proposed Bud Light sponsored comedy tour where people could submit and vote their best jokes.

We put the entire thing together in only a few weeks with one of the senior art directors mocking up the initial layout and shooting the footage of the comedians.

I was responsible for all of the Flash work, a few design elements and the Actionscript coding.

Fair warning: There’s some rather “blue” language if you’re offended by that sort of thing.

When Dunkin Donuts launched their new branding in 2006 they needed a site that would effectively embrace this new brand while the official DunkinDonuts.com website was being redesigned. Also, the client required a site that would easily allow banner ads for individual Dunkin products to each have “their own” landing page.

Here are some examples:

• Iced Beverages
• Fruit Smoothies
• Tropicana Orange Coolata
• Iced Coffee

This allowed the client extreme flexibility to be able to not only promote different products in separate sales regions, it also allowed Dunkin to have an online destination for products that were only available in certain markets.

The result was the DunkinRun.com website which brought together all the of the brand messaging into a fun and engaging experience. The site also met the client’s goals for increasing their online presence as well as improving sales.

This was a landing page for a Monster.com Major League Baseball 2007 All-Star Game promotion. The site was part of a larger print, broadcast, and interactive advertising campaign.

I was responsible for all of the Flash work, Actionscript coding, and a some of the design elements.

This was a project where the client already had an existing design and they asked us to help them bring it to life. We used the elements from their brochures, posters and annual reports to create a promotional video. The video was distributed on CD-ROM and online and was a companion piece to the printed materials. In order to make the still photography more dynamic I spent a lot of time in Photoshop separating each image into separate layers so I could add a gentle parallax motion effect. Combining this with the fast, fluid animation and transitions for the rest of the piece created a very successful showcase for the client.

I was responsible for the photo editing and animation (in Adobe After Effects), collaborating on the other animation elements and putting the rest of the entire project together as one piece.

We developed a series of engaging motion graphic pieces for Fleet Bank that were run on large plasma screens at their larger “flagship” branches. Designed to highlight new products and services while customers were standing in line for the next teller or ATM they also helped reinforce the Fleet branding and to potentially draw customers in from the street. The following are just a few examples of the many different pieces our group created.

Each of these were made almost completely in Adobe After Effects and I was responsible for the concepting, design, animation and production.

Created to reveal for the first time a new branding, logo and direction for Enterasys, the video was played to a large enthusiastic crowd including all of their employees, internal stakeholders and partners at the annual Enterasys company meeting.

I was responsible for the art direction and design guidance and portions of the 2D animation in After Effects.

Launch project

A project created for Dell to help promote their new line of Latitude laptops to business customers. This was produced as a USB memory key giveaway/tchotchke/leave behind for tradeshows, customer meetings, etc. The memory key also included a series of PDFs with technical specs, feature descriptions and other sales tools.

I was responsible for the art direction and design. I oversaw the Flash development and Actionscript coding.

Please note: none of the links to the various PDFs and other assets will work since this is just the Flash front-end.

These are a couple of the banners I worked on for a TJMaxx promotion. I was responsible for the design of the banners as well as all of the flash work and animation. Click on the images below to view the banners.

Red Sky provides strategic brand consulting services to a diverse range of global businesses. The site has a custom Flash “front end” that acts as a dramatic showcase of the firm’s capabilities and examples of their work.

I was responsible for the Flash work, Actionscript coding, HTML & CSS, and implementing WordPress as the site’s content management system.

The launch of the new version of Cognos 8 coincided with a new look and feel for all of their advertising and other communications. This flash site was meant to serve as both an introduction to all of the new features and capabilities of the Cognos software as well to the new brand experience.

I was responsible for the visual design, user interface, Actionscript coding, majority of the flash work, and supervision of the animation team.
