This page is an archived collection of random bits of work over the years. Bits that don’t deserve a whole individual ‘case study.’ Of course every designer does their own wedding stationary right?
LEWIS Charades
Charades is a common game played during the holidays, especially with your family at Christmas time. We recreated that friendly, fun and competitive game with a festive twist, harnessing the technology behind Google’s web speech API.
How did it work?
Due to workloads and budget constraints we couldn’t play the game live with our audience so we pre-recorded a selection of charades, acted out by myself and the lovely staff at LEWIS.
All players needed was Chrome and a microphone (if they didn’t they could type in their answers). They could then work their way through the rounds guessing charades by simply shouting answers at their computer. Once they either guessed a correct/incorrect word or the entire title, the game would automatically respond with the actors responding to a guess and the console filling in parts of the phrase until they completed it.
Kames Capital Leading Light
Kames, a UK-based investment management business, asked us to help them create a microsite to promote their Investment Grade Bond Fund for the UK and Global markets. We also work with them to design, build and manage their email marketing.
Given the scope of the requirements we thought it would be a great opportunity to use Readymag to build the site. The result is a simple one page scrolling site with slick transitions, utilising custom code to pull in videos and Google charts - all to show prospective clients how well the fund is performing.
Tayburn Christmas Whacker
Another agency Christmas campaign. Tayburn Christmas Whacker was inspired by those whack-a-mole games we used to play as kids in the arcade. Instead of ‘mole’s I photographed Tayburn staff so our clients could have a little fun trying to whack as many as they could before the timer ran out.
Feedback from clients was positive and one even said their entire department had the most unproductive morning when they received it! Another client loved it so much they asked if we could repurpose it for their own campaign.
