QR or "quick response" codes are an increasingly popular way to easily get information to prospective customers. Incredibly versatile in their placement, a QR code can be attached to a variety of items including your business cards, marketing materials, signage, promo items, and so on. An interested user simply scans the code with his or her smartphone to access the data attached to the QR; anything from contact information or product details to targeted coupons and content-specific website links.

This promotional CD-ROM was made available to working professionals in government and the private sector. The presentation highlights client offerings of educational solutions.
Fulfillment Promotion CD
The project requirement was to design an entertaining animated guide that would be easy to follow, while creatively showcasing gift selections. This promotional CD-ROM was delivered to existing/prospective clients, and walked them through the fulfillment process. Clicking on the "MAKE SELECTIONS" button, from the CD-ROM, would send the client to an online ordering location. After ordering the client would view the "Behind the Scenes" segment (click on the "MAKE SELECTIONS" button). Clients would receive their gift within three business days.
Concept Promotion
Intended as capabilities presentation "eye candy" for the client, this Flash animation creatively highlights the strengths of their government services. Coupled with voice-overs, and edgy soundtrack, this animation was split into two parts. The intro was to lead the actual presentation, then fade to white, while part two was to run at the conclusion of the presentation.

The client wanted something both fun and original. The characters, voices, and sound effects are an original creation. The intended message is that the star penguin, "Max" (for Maximum Power), out performs his competition by building a better/stronger snowman by utilizing the power of Brainware.
Office Tour
This is a photography based office tour for a pediatric dentistry. There are two versions of the tour. This one is more comprehensive and labeled for "grown ups" while a more kid-friendly version also exists on the same site. The client's office is beautifully decorated, with children very much in mind.
