'The Chain Gang' and 'Pirates and Dragons'

The beginning of a new illustrated kids micro story. Eventually will be digitally enhanced and adapted for a new augmented reality app stARyteller. These micro stories are 120 characters. Stay tuned.

The Chain Gang starting to fall out too.

A few photos from an older project that illustrate my method and process when working on a greeting card design. This was the early development of the raw fragments and components including characters, backgrounds, textures.

Branding: Sam Maher

I wanted to create a new identity for my producing and writing activities. I went with postcards because I love receiving mail and with the rise of digital - rarely do; and then I augmented them. My business card I experimented with Aurasma and postcard with Layar.

WYNLEN HOUSE Interactive Rack Card

The gorgeous Bronwyn and Helen of Wynlen House Slow Food Farm and Learning Centre were invited by the Italian Slow Food Movement to their Conference in Turin in September 2016. They needed something fun and interactive, light and portable and easy to update in both omnichannel presentations and transmedia outputs, with a seamless optimised backend and a gorgeous digital interface. We wanted interaction data too, across numerous events, that could be validated within the integration by pulling data metrics across a suite of analytics tools. It also needed to look good in its print form, load digital content quickly and efficiently and have a easy-use interface to optimise experience for users with multiple digital literacy. The opportunity to test one of our new prototypes in an international and domestic territory was too good to pass up, so here is a new use of a developing interactive print/digital portal. This one is powered by Layar. Scan the front and back panels with your device and watch a video or press the buttons. Feedback is always wanted. Likewise we're always looking for Guinea Pigs wanting to do something new with brand narratives.
