Multimedia combines multiple content forms like text and images, video content and animation into a dynamic or interactive media. It's used to build stand-alone kiosk applications, marketing pieces, and games to smaller modules like banners and galleries meant to spice up a webpage.

Slides No. 2-8 This is a kiosk application I developed for Bank of America Tower. It is a flash interface that provides a directory search. With a virtual keyboard, visitors may lookup individuals and businesses in the tower, view an area map of restaurants, look at real-time traffic info and even search and print bus routes connecting in the area. The back-end is set up with a mySQL database and admin area so the directory listings may be easily maintained.

Slides No. 9-16 This is an interactive pdf I created for the Quinault Mercantile. It is styled to look like a newspaper from the 1920s, when the Mercantile and much of the town was built. The links at the top load the different pages. There is embedded video, an interactive form — submittable through email, links to external websites and a map of trails in the area, rolling over the trail names in the body copy loads the trails on the map. I prepared the images and vector art in Photoshop and Illustrator and then laid the pages out in InDesign. All of the interactivity was added in Acrobat and the resulting pdf is small enough to share through email.
