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

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.
