Fulfillment via video

admin — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:22:20 +0000

Concept

Work Done:

This walkthrough depicts the basic idea behind the iteration of what I call “fulfillment via video”. Here we see a video of a fashion show from a typical end of runway angle, where the models pause to offer a prolonged view of her clothing before returning down the runway. It is this moment, which has become a key part of the fashion show language that is extended upon. Here we offer the viewer
(I use the term viewer and not user to try and escape the web mindset and prompt you to consider that this potentially involves the same level of immersion as cinema) a full scren view of catwalk a catwalk video, ideally a static, end of runway camera view.

The user is prompted to rollover the model between specfied start & end points in the timeline of the catwalk video, The video is paused if the user decides to respond to the prompt by rolling over the model. A Bespoke view of the model can be offered to highlight
the details of the clothin worn. Clicking anywhere else in the view will resume the video at any point. Selecting a certain section of the prompt area enables an enhanced view of clothing item. Clicking the enlarged area again will provide details of the itemClicking on the model highlight area will return it to full view whilst still paused, enabling them to select another item.

All Round Design at Corizon

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:28:36 +0000

“Good design doesn’t just have to come from huge companies with endless bank accounts. Good design can be found wherever creativity is allowed to thrive, from large conglomerates to local small businesses.”

Hiring a design or marketing agency can be an expensive business, hiring a freelance designer can have its advantages but only when you’ve invested time and money in developing a trusting relationship with one, what happens if your business has an ongoing need for various types design work and needs someone it can trust to manage and maintain the brand and the business you’ve worked so hard on.

This was the case at Corizon Ltd, where I spent many years looking after the company brand I designed. There I produced online an offline design work, including and not limited to; corporate brand design, the corporate wesbites, Stationary, printed publications, printed promotional material, software packaging, course collateral, presentations, exhibitions displays, CMS websites, support forum user interfaces, solution user interfaces. The financial result was a reduction in cost that added up to a substantial amount.

As a designer I think it is very important to build relationships within the company just as one would do with clients or customers, these people are imporant stakeholders in the way in which the company is presented, at Corizon I had developed relationships with virtually all the departments. Here is what some of them thought:

“I can recommend Anees as a skilled professional who has managed the end to end art direction, graphic design and production of a full range of web and print projects for Corizon over a number of years. Anees is self-driven and always looking to learn, aspects essential to success in technology-based design.”_{Ben Stewart,
Principle Consultant,
Corizon Ltd}

“Anees has the ability to create beyond the normal brief and demonstate innovation which accelerates market possiblities for the product or service he is promoting. Focused and creative thinking makes Anees a considerable asset to any team.”_{Frank Steggall,
Account Director,
Corizon Ltd}

Make sense right? After all, a known cost is better than an unknown expense. Have a look at my portfolio to see more examples of work I have done for Corizon and others and get in touch with me to manage you design needs, cost-effectively!
