Some snap-shots of the visual design work I’ve done in the past 12 months. For quite a few of those products and digital services I also took care of the User Experience and IA Optimization, respectively the messaging architecture. A post with all UX and Digital Strategy work is coming up next. Stay tuned.

Once a week I cruise around with my old 1986 Vanagon Camper, which keeps Schultz happy and the batteries in good shape. Too bad the fun times didn’t last so long. At the 3rd corner a police officer rudely interrupted my romantic road liaison. I missed a STOP sign. You know what’s coming next.

As a creative designer I was looking for additional (marketing) opportunities to offer interactive experiences to peoples mountain routine. Ideas to connect them with the brand (in this case the ski resorts) in a new inspiring way. Its about: Life – Fun – Play.
Well, you know me: I just love skiing and I love my iPhone. The question that came up yesterday while I was riding on Whistler and Blackcomb Mountain again: Can the iPhone change the way we ski? Simple question and some might say stupid too. But, think about it twice and take a look at some of those great ideas I outlined and scetched for you.

If you’re wondering why my posts to Flip Digital Blog (aka Curious Digitalus) have been a little infrequent of late here’s the reason why. I’m writing/illustrating an ebook/trendreport tentatively titled, “The ‘ME Tourism’ – Redefing Travelling” It will be available June 2010. I’m in the last throes of writing it with barely two or three chapters left go now. As I get closer to the launch of the ebook, I’ll publish more about it. For now you can check out some randomly taken screenshots, sketches and a draft of the content page. Feel free to leave a comment with your name and a contact/link. I will notify you once its ready. Enjoy (… feedback and some inspiring words are welcome).
Enjoy some images from the upcoming report:
