Exploring ETFs, the financial e-learning site I’ve been working on for the past four months, recently launched:

We’re excited to announce the launch of Exploring ETFs, a site for Barclays Global Investors designed to educate financial advisors & individual investors about Exchange Traded Funds. It’s been a culmination of over 6 months of collaboration between the IQ team and the folks at iShares, and we’re ecstatic with the way it’s all come together.

As the art director on the project put it, it’s really the total package. Within a PaperVision3D environment, it incorporates photo-realistic 3D models with studio-shot video, custom-manufactured props, an elegantly intuitive design, and a custom-composed soundtrack.

As lead developer on this project, I am very happy with how it came out. We had a great team as well as a great client.

After a few months of strategy, creative, and technology working together to make the next iteration of UPS’ Whiteboard website better than before, the website has officially launched.

While the ‘08 Whiteboard site is much more complex than the previous version, we had a great team working together to make it as good of an interactive experience as possible. The technology side includes a nice mix of Flash / AS2, Ruby on Rails, and almost half a gigabyte of video.
