Promotional CD

Williams Labadie, 2000

This CD showcase of the work of Williams Labadie, a healthcare advertising agency, simultaneously exhibits their identity and lets individual campaigns shine.

Audio/animation synching adds sparkle to the CD's wisecracking guide.

Presentation Builder

NVision Editor, 2000

In tandem with the internal marketing department at Nike Securities, we developed the NVision Editor, a modular, customizable presentation builder. Nike sales reps use the NVision Editor to create any number of stand-alone presentations, which are stored in a database and retrieved through desktop shortcuts. Following our template, Nike continues to make additional modules available to their reps. Our client can be confident in the modules' up-to-date, SEC compliant/NASD approved content and uniform design.

Training & Simulation

Waste Heat Boiler, 1997

Steve Cartwright is an independent producer of video and multimedia training for the mining industry. This project uses interactivity that goes well beyond the usual features of CBT. In addition to several styles of question and answer testing, the program simulates a situation impossible to practice in real life: making manual adjustments to the pressure valve controls of a copper smelting system during a power outage.

PDF Launcher

Madson Marketing, 2000

Madson Marketing client Voith Paper (formerly Voith Sulzer Paper Technologies) had a collection of existing marketing materials to distribute. Using Macromedia Director, we programmed an interface that launches each document individually in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The Director interface provides organization and a unified identity to this collection of documents, as well as an opportunity to add multimedia effects. Re-purposing and repackaging existing materials for greater impact can be an extremely cost-effective approach.
