You know how Xbox has interactive advertisements? If not, well, they do. And they can be pretty cool, too. This “ad demo” is a simulation of an Xbox interactive ad built in Silverlight. Since a Microsoft salesperson can’t run around town selling ads with an actual Xbox unit, this solution allowed them to use their laptop instead. These ads were designed by someone else. We took video screenshots of the live Xbox ads and recreated them in Silverlight. This work was done while working at Metia as the Senior Interactive Designer.

No Internet Explorer? No problem. Here’s a video screen capture:

Poke, shake, and swipe! Get physical with Metia Man and discover his “special move” in each of the six scenes. After building this costume out of foam and shooting and editing the video, I used background artwork from Chris Zappala and audio code from Dylan Kilgore to bring this highly interactive and entertaining peice of mobile app marketing to life. This project was done while employed at Metia (images and apps are their property).

I helped design and build this app while on a team at Metia. We created custom animations and transitions along with custom controls that make the app feel like part of the native OS. (This work was done at Metia. Images and code are property of Metia and AmazonFresh).

The SQL Server team wanted a way to show how their product stacked up against the competition and to let business owners see how SQL would affect their business. This work was done by Matt Wilson while employed at Metia (images and code are property of Metia and Microsoft).

I developed the branding for this small business which included brochures, business cards, letterhead, and this website. The website I created was the main marketing tool and used reciprocating links, keywords and metadata to improve search engine optimization.
