Studio/Artist Exploration

The graphics are very life like in each scene. It seems they incorporated images as well as renderings to accomplish a very realistic setting in each experience. Lights flicker, the fireplace crackles a spider moves along a web and, as you mouse across the screen the entire screen seems to move or float. If you run the cursor over the chandelier it sways as if you hit it.
As you move around the screen faded icons appear that will direct you to something within that screen.
Each room is unique and has something new to explore. In the studio setting you can click on the design table and it takes you to a page that becomes an interactive art board where can choose a brush and has a choice of colors so that you can run the brush across the page and it creates different designs instantly. You can then erase anywhere on the screen and redo the area with few art.
I like the fact that they made it classy and sophisticated. I believe these two gentleman must be older. The rooms have a retro feel combined with today's technology. I do wish they had just a little more interaction in some of the rooms but they do state that we should visit often because it will be evolving as time goes on.
Some of their clients are Mtv, Urban Outfitters, Haagen Daz, Nokia, Pixar, Cocacola, Tommy Bahama and Nike, just to name a few.
Their capabilities are interactive experiences, digital campaigns, brand strategy, and development visual design and production, mobile applications, UX/UI Design, 3D modeling and compositing motion graphics and animation and casual gaming and social media.

This site is full of different things to look at. Justin has created flash websites and a plethora of games to view and interact with. He also illustrates
When you first enter Jason site the blue bird in the left upper corner flaps his wings when you scroll over. Justin's designs are very strong and detailed. He's really mastered his graphics.
The second icon in on the top of his flash games is actually an advertisement for a country singer. It's a game about the song and the song is about drinking too much. It's pretty funny because you can upload your own picture as the character that is doing the drinking.
5 rows down on the left he created a make a pizza game that evolves and is pretty fun. I'm definitely going to book mark this site for future use.
Justin creates these really cool flash websites for musicians to promote their songs by allowing the viewer to upload pictures to the website. It automatically loads and you and your friends (or whoever you uploaded) is now in the video. Very cool.
One of his links called "lip service" on his "other stuff" page no longer (unfortunately, it looks really funny) work but the majority of what he has done is very interactive will keep the visiter very busy.
This site is his resume'. I think it's a very cleaver way to promote what he does.
