Vonage iBook Microsite

by

Contracted through Metia to build an interactive, start-to-finish “iBook” experience for Vonage using Ceros Flex. The creative direction called for an exploratory, book-like journey with rich interactivity—while remaining fully responsive on tablets and phones (a key reason the project pivoted from Ceros Studio to Flex).

Equal Agency handled implementation/build only (no design), translating ambitious interaction requirements into a working, polished experience on a still-new platform. A major technical focus was optimizing background video performance, balancing fast load times with playback quality to keep the experience smooth across devices.

Quisitive eBook

by

This project was contracted by Extra Mile Marketing (EMM) for their Quisitive client. EMM provided the text and Equal Agency used the established Quisitive brand guidelines to create an interactive eBook PDF that kept track of the user’s answers and tallied the score at the end of the eBook.

Clifton Batchelor Website

This site is small but awesome. There’s not much going on here in the way of content, but the animation that transitions between pages is so unique that it will have you clicking back and forth between the three pages.

Microsoft Mission Critical

by

I created a high-tech look for Microsoft’s Mission Critical offerings and designed a website with a highly interactive home page experience to highlight their proven success with large corporations and governments around the world. This work was done by Matt Wilson while employed at Metia (images and code are property of Metia and Microsoft). We used Silverlight with HTML.

Windows 7 Game

by

Microsoft was trying to get IT Professionals to make the switch from XP to Windows 7. I designed this game to illustrate the benefits of Windows 7 in a fun and informative fashion. The interface is from the perspective of an IT Pro and as we make our technology choices, we can see how each decision affects the happiness of our boss and our users. The goal is to make the Boss and User happiness meters go as high as you can while unlocking as many star bonuses. This project was done while working as Senior Interactive Designer at Metia.

Xbox Simulator: Chevy Volt

by

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.
