"SPLEAK" WEBSITES & WIDGETS
2007-2008 |
|
From spring 2007 until the recession-induced
closure of the company in late 2008, I was the graphic designer at Spleak
Media Network in San Francisco.
I handled all art & graphics needs for the company, ranging from the look
and UI of the websites & widgets, which you'll see here, to the
logos,
virtual spokesmodel, IM integration, and
other things. I also conceived of and launched the "GameSpleak" and "VoteSpleak"
sub-brands, taking on a bit of an informal project manager role for a bit
there. Since the iPhone came out during this time, I designed a mockup for
an iOS app and was trying to get interest in that going, but the recession
hit and the company soon closed. I'd share some of that here, except that
data is sadly lost. |

WIDGETS:
Spleak had a widget (remember those?) for each brand that would feed user-created, superuser-created, and sponsored content to viewers online. I designed the aesthetics and user-interface of it. The top six widgets you see are the widgets that were up and running until Spleak closed down. I apologize for the low jpeg quality of some of these screenshots, but this was salvaged from a Powerpoint presentation. (the originals died in a corrupted hard drive).
The bottom widget image (VoteSpleak), was my design for the future (prettier) aesthetics and functionality of the widget. It was to have smoother controls and eventually incorporate a video player. Since Spleak folded, this never saw the light of day.
