FREELANCE CONSULTING

Red Sky Interactive, Spring/Summer, 1996
Nike AirMax and ZoomAir Interactive Advertising Pieces

Worked with artists, Abbie Rabinowitz and Joel Hladecek, to develop a pair of interactive advertising pieces based on Nike's print ads for the 1996 summer Olympics.

The pieces were designed for download from the Nike Olympic web site as well as floppy distribution. As such, our designs balanced maximum interactivity and content with the constraint of single floppy disc profile.

Responsibilities included the design of a realtime, parallel architecture in Director 5.0, all programming, and some asset creation.

If you only want to check out one of them, get ZoomAir.
