MC Doc DVD Front/Back Covers

This DVD wrap-around cover was a tough one. The imagery we had available was from the DVD I'd produced, which meant some tricks to be played in offsetting the lower resolution of the graphics. Then there was also the usual incredibly short timeframe to pull it all off. I used a combination of Canvas and Photoshop, primarily. I like Canvas as a great tool for vector and bitmap layouts, and then fine-tuning the results in Photoshop. Too many people are wedded to Illustrator or Photoshop as the ultimate tools. The trick is to identify the right tools for the task at hand, no presupposing a particular application is appropriate (or optimal)...

MSA Interactive Brochure

A consultant to the Multiple Sclerosis Association needed a small "interactive brochure" to help promote corporate funding of the MSA... something that would fit on a disk in his pocket (this was a couple of years ago before we had credit card sized cdroms).  He contracted me to produce a 1.5 Mb "emotional" interactive PowerPoint presentation.  It was an interesting challenge.  Here are 2 sizes of the work accomplished (only at 12 fps).  NOTE:  the visual effects are the same as when using the PowerPoint originals... all native to PowerPoint despite appearances. The original was 640x480.

LG (4.7 mb)  MD (700 kb). Both are autoplaying, whereas the final was a "step thru" process so the Man can make his Pitch.  Please see "continuation" for details on "how, why, and so on."

EarthTalk 2003 DVD (GUI)

(Some of the Interactive Menus from the ET2003 DVD.  These were done using very limited software (iDVD) in terms of layout flexibility (in luding font "effect"). More details about this project forthcoming....)
