A & A Customs Brokers, a client of iKrave Entertainment Group, was looking to have their current static HTML based NRI tutorial converted to a more engaging, animated format. Click on the graphic below to see the play-through ad which, on the client's site, automatically loads the tutorial once it's finished. Click here to see the tutorial.

The other project completed for A & A Customs Brokers was a continuously playing kiosk presentation which would allow customers waiting for service to become aware of all the services being offered to them. The presentation's load time and how it displays will vary depending on your internet connection and your monitor resolution as it was not meant for the web.

This is the 2001 online exhibition featuring the paintings of Bradford Carrie. It is no longer live but viewable here from the DID servers. Once there, click on the "Info" tab for instructions on how to peruse the virtual gallery.

One of the many projects I worked on while on contract with Business Objects involved the creation of game boards for some interactive quiz-like games which would come at the end of some of their online educational courses. I included them here because I thought they were pretty cool.

Who doesn't like Chocolate? Offering a global variety of chocolates and elegant presentation is the very essence of Chocoatl, located in Vancouver's über trendy Yaletown district. Their participation in the Wedding Fair required a brochure reflective of these qualities. It even came with three chocolate samples! They were far too delicious for me to stop at 3 though. Oh, and try their hot chocolate...I'm serious.

Working with Wasserman & Partners, the look of the Credit Unions of British Columbia site was updated to incorporate elements from their newest ad campaign and contests.

Dish Jeans, a popular line of jeans for women, came to me when looking a CDROM for their "Denim Deconstructed" presentation series.

Granville Entertainment Group had an existing database structure and asked that a new site be designed and built around it. They were looking for a site that looked and functioned differently than their other popular nightclub sites. This site was live from 2003 through 2007. What you're seeing here resides on my servers and therefore the database connectivity is not functioning.

After completing The Cellar Nightclub website, Granville Entertainment Group decided they'd like to use the same "database swap-over" process on the website for their other establishment, Doolin's Irish Pub. This site was live from 2003 through 2007. What you're seeing here resides on my servers and therefore the database connectivity is not functioning. You also can't turn off the horrible music (not my selection) in this version so I don't imagine you'll be viewing this one for long.

This version of the Hasson & Wong website is no longer current and for search engine optimization (SEO) reasons pertaining to their current site, this version has been password protected. The username is "Hasson" and the password is "Wong" - both are case sensitive and shouldn't include the quotes.

Nero handled the development of the over 250 additional site pages.

NGRAIN needed a Flash-based "Solution Tour" to demonstrate how their military equipment repair training software worked. What you'll see here is a watered down version of the original DVD-style presentation which featured section navigation and audio with optional subtitles.

A website and a CMS were developed for Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. so that the news and investment information was easy to update for management and easy to get to for investors.

Vancouver's RC Lair, a print graphic designer, asked DID for a web presence to showcase his design work.

This site is no longer live so what you're seeing is sitting on the DID servers.

As Interactive Art Director for OnTrack Media, I directed the creative design for the Space4Lease website -- a site geared to assisting businesses in the location of, well, space for lease. Some graphic elements have been changed by the client since the site launched but the overall design integrity is intact.

This is the third site developed for True Worth Realty, the design company run by one of Vancouver's premiere interior designers, Thu Watson. DID created the logo and built the administration tool allowing the client to update the content and/or the images appearing in the Gallery and News sections (while this version of the site was live).
The first two sites: V1.0 and V2.0
Not all features of these sites function as they did when they were live.
