Virgin Mother of all Broadband
This animation was created to promote the music download capabilities of Virgin broadband. I designed and animated this engaging banner in a range of sizes including the MPU version shown.
HSBC Premier
An interactive rich media banner to promote the exclusive services that HSBC Premier account holders can access. The Shark hypnotically follows the mouse pointer around the banner until it reaches the top and gives the cage a good shove. I designed and animated the banner and worked with an actionscripter to add the interactive element. I'm a big Jaws fan so the inspiration for the design wasn't hard to come by.
HSBC Cupid Banner
This was a cute Valentines Day tie-in banner to promote online banking for HSBC. I took the flat cupid images and brought them to life through key frame animation. This was an on-site banner to be displayed on the HSBC website.
Virgin Media Deal
5 day hot deal banner for Virgin Media. The animation is of an ice lolly melting to emphasize the limited time of the offer. This was one of nine sizes designed and animated by myself.
O2 Want More Banner
Fun and interactive flash banners for O2's ask for more promotion. I took the ice cream footage from a video editor to use in the banner campaign.
