Polaroid
CD-ROM Presentation 

Working on a primary presentation regarding the mission of corporate design at the company, Polaroid's former VP of Product Design called with a special request. His graphic designer was leaving on vacation and he was looking for a pro to finish this critical presentation.

Our team went into high gear, working nights and weekends to quickly get up to speed and meet the client's deadline - all along making sure that our design elements worked seamlessly with the "hand-off" material. Since the purpose of the presentation was to tell the story of an innovative process to fellow designers, the CD-ROM itself had to be "hot, creative and innovative".

Highlights:

  • Designing compelling background visuals to provide a "cool" setting for the presentation.

  • Brainstorming, designing and implementing attention-grabbing animations that showcased key points, products and concepts.

  • Creating, designing and laying out 50 new interactive slides, each of which featured animation, motion, text and graphics.

  • Refining previously created slides, for a presentation that totalled over 130 interactive slides.

  • Developing easy-to-use navigation controls that allowed the presentation to be run with a mouse, a keyboard, or projection system remote.

  • Providing "foolproof" instructions so the client could easily set up the overhead system without having to worry about any technical difficulties.

Swift's presentation to the China Industrial Design Association was such a success that he spent the entire next day conducting ten newspaper interviews. "I've gotten a lot of mileage out of this presentation, including invitations to present at other conferences. Thanks for the great work!"
