Artist Exploration: Dave Warner


Dave Warner is a great flash artist as well as a an artist doing other types of works as well. His website okdave.com is a flash site that shows his different artistic projects. It has great videos about each of his projects. It has interactive features where you can see the process it took him to create each projects, as well as links to his online web projects.

Below are some of the projects that I thought were interesting.

The first one is the "Cadence of Seasons" project.

He is currently working on creating an interactive story using flash. He describes it in a video and has screen shots that you can click on. Also has pictures that show you his storyboard or process and you can scroll over the pictures and little blurbs pop up explaining them. Can't wait to see this when it comes out!

The second flash project he did was the website for the Brinker International Annual Report.

It is an interactive website for potential and official shareholders. It opens with a recipe box holding each restaurant as a recipe card. There is video which is the letter to the shareholders. The sounds when you click/scroll over things is a glass clinking which makes it fun to click things.

3rdly he created was a presentation site for Wachovia bank.

This site is basically like a power point presentation that is interactive for the person viewing it. The point of the presentation is to show Wachovia how they could use a new website.

He also is the CEO of the video game design company Minor Studios, which is currently creating a video game called Atmosphir.

It is a game that you can create your own game within the game. Check the website out!
