Non Fiction Spots |
This is from 2003 but never appeared on this list before :) ... A cool site I built/implemented.
The amazing Christine Smart did the interaction model + design)
I am proud of a few neat “tricks” on this one… It looks like different pages get loaded when you click on stuff, but it really loads the same small flash movie (30 KB) and tricks the server so you see different link addresses in the browser…
all of the data comes from a MYSQL database and the company staff does all of the administration via a convenient web-based UI without any technical skills necessary.
I implemented everything from scratch in PHP, including the Content Management System (CMS). |

Windows Vista! |
Things I worked on and helped with for the Vista project:
Recently, the sounds, Vista icons for XAML and other WPF related files, Vista Upgrade Advisor, and the WPF (Avalon) platform.
Years ago, while working on Expression Blend, I also helped the Vista team with some implementations of Vector-based Glass window frames, and several animated AURORA graphics/backgrounds using WPF (XAML). Those were part of the first Longhorn build presented by Bill Gates in 2003.
My team, the Windows User Experience team (called "MSX" then) is an amazingly talented bunch of people.

Shipped: Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor! |
I shipped a Microsoft application today which is going to be used by millions of people. On this project I defined the interaction model, information architecture, user experience and flow.
It will scan your computer and create an easy-to-understand report of all known system, device, and program compatibility issues, and recommend ways to resolve them. Upgrade Advisor can also help you choose the edition of Windows Vista that best fits the way you want to use your computer.
A link to run this tool will be on the first page of the Windows Vista install sequence.

This one works very well when I speak at a conference. I often start my talks with this piece, blaring concert speakers on, etc. People either absolutely hate it, or absolutely love it! Watch it until the "end". |

This was one of the early websites to use Flash as a traditional User Interface layer with radio menus and combo boxes.

mano1.com '98 [Macromedia SOD award] |
Original 1998 website. The lightweight, all-vector 3D contents was entirely created using hand-tracing techniques. In the early days of Flash 3D content, the non-existence of automatic renderers forced people in the design community to invent various techniques. Hand-tracing was the most time-consuming but ensured the lowest file-size without cutting down on details (curves, gradients). In the context of slow dialup connection, I dedicated countless hours shaving off as many "bytes" as I could. |
