We don't design web pages or interactive CD's. We design experiences.

Experiences are at the heart of our lives. Unfortunately moving them from the personal and emotional to digital media is difficult at best.

A roller coaster is a good example. This image taken from a site dealing with roller coasters does evoke an emotional response, but the response is different from viewer-to-viewer as we react through the filter of our personal roller coaster experiences. In this manner the experience of the site is not consistent. Our job is to give each viewer the same experience.

The example of a house falling into the ocean is a good example of a "web experience". The image of the side of the cliff where the house used to be is powerful but doesn't do the job. It isn't an image of a hole in a cliff that makes it an experience. It is the phone call- the 'multi" in multimedia-that makes the experience so compelling and engaging.Click the button:
