Snowdin.com on FWA

Published on Jan. 02, 2009

This holiday season, Colle + McVoy created an internal project called Snowdin. Snowdin.com is a website created in Anaglyph 3D (red + blue 3d glasses):

To help relieve the stresses of the holiday season, we created a winter retreat at snowdin.com. There you can frolic with a yeti, pilot a blimp or deliver the evening post to the town folk. No need for long johns or an electric blanket. All you’ll need is your 3-D glasses.

I developed the main site, the shell that holds all of the content. My friend / co-worker Andrew Charon developed the awesome Mount FrostBite Q*Bert game and we had some help from PopLife with some other games. The whole site is sprinkled with downloads and activities.

On December 25th, Snowdin.com received an FWA Site of the Day award, so we are all very pleased with the sites success.

Colle + McVoy Responsive Signage

To express our capabilities and make our space speak to what we do, we enhanced our existing plastic logotype with a hidden projector and camera. Mapping our projections to the space, we created sequences of illumination for the lettering and created a play between virtual and physical objects that responds to the activity of people in the space.

Cyclist Mural

As avid bikers at Colle + McVoy we rose to the occasion and created a mural, using rear-projection and top-mounted camera. We decided to show the many styles of cycling and have some fun with it!
