Coca-Cola Metropolis
CCMetro is a virtual city that Coca-cola has built within the ever expanding online game of There.com. Coke needed a portal site built for There.com players to meet up, and find out what’s going down in the virtual world.
Working closely with Coke, and spending many late nights playing video games, the CCMetro portal site came to be. There.com gamers from around the world access this site to find out what events are taking place, who is online, and to where to buy the best online stuff.

Kaplan University
Kaplan University’s site needed a face lift. This is an eight hour turnaround concept developed for their redesign. It’s interesting to see what you are capable of creating in such a short amount of time.
This concept features an integrated backpack system to bookmark pages within the site. Once someone visits the site, they can save pages to their backpack, then refer back to them at a later date.

Coca-Cola iPhone Game
Coca-Cola has been extensively looking into iPhone game and application development. This is a conceptual iPhone game based on timing and physics.

Momentum Telecom
Chances are you haven’t heard of Momentum, but they are doing some pretty amazing things. Momentum builds fiber optic cable into new homes in the southeast. Allowing telephone, television, and internet to be streamed literally at the speed of light into your new home.
This was a conceptual design for Momentum’s wholesale site. They wanted a clean, web 2.0 look and feel. They also wanted to make sure that their signature traditional British phone booth was used in the hero.
