I had the wonderful opportunity of working on a marketing campaign for the upcoming release of the 2011 Honda Odyssey. One part of the campaign was a microsite that encourages customer interaction in order to heighten interest in the new vehicle launch. The custom aspect of the site would give people an entertaining experience they are able to share with their friends on Facebook.

With Honda's Choose Your Vantasy microsite, you can transform everyday routines into numerous Vantasies by creating a story; starring you, your friends & your family.

Simply choose your adventure, upload your pictures and watch the story unfold. Visitors were asked to upload up to 5 pictures of their family and friends, choose a character and let the redesigned 2011 Honda Odyssey unfold a personalized movie right before their eyes. You then have the option of posting your movie to your Facebook page, download ringtones and wallpapers.

My role on the project was Sr. Art Director, and in 2011, we were honored to have received 2 ADDY® Awards in the Website category for Online Campaign & Interactive Flash.

D-Structure, a clothing, skiing and lifestyle shop located in San Francisco's Lower Haight district contacted me a while back to Design and Produce an identity & motion graphics package for all of their promotional videos. I've had a chance to view some of the pieces on vimeo with all of the graphics implemented.

It was great to be a part of the store's new direction and agenda. D-Structure Owner, Azikiwee has always been a positive influence in the community and definitely a nice guy to work with.

You can see a preview of the motion graphics package I designed and produced in the video below from San Francisco's D-Structure First Friday upcoming art show teaser with Undefeated // Dave Crossland.

Recently I was contacted by AE Tuts+ Editor, Lloyd Alvarez, to develop an interesting tutorial for the Tuts+ Network that offers a range of creative tutorials from industry professionals including Photoshop, Web Development, Motion Graphics, ActionScript, Photography and Audio Production.

AE Tuts+ showcases some of the best After Effects tutorials around and I was glad I could produce a step by step guide to recreate this glitch interface effect.
