We integrated the campaign across multiple platforms, from mobile apps to billboards to the ship experience. There were 130 unique elements created for the brand.
MOBILE APP PASSION PROJECT
CountDracu1, is an early-learning kid's app I created for the App Store. This was a passion project of mine, where I came up with the concept & story-line, illustrated & animated the characters, did the voice-over, as well as programmed the app. It revolves around a young vampire from Toronto, and his gang of multi-cultural friends.
ABOUT ME
Prior to joining the business of Advertising, I used to work as a Visual Effects Artist & 3D Animator on movies such as "Resident Evil", "Dawn of the Dead", and "Cube Zero". I'm also a professionally trained voice-actor, and have taught as a Graphic Design professor at Humber College.
Currently I live in Toronto with my charming wife, son and daughter. I'm the creative director & co-founder of Rayvn, a multi-disciplinary design consultancy that doesbrand strategy, branding, digital UX & UI, as well interior design & architectural 3D pre-vizualization.
I love Big Ideas and the ability to express them through stories and design. I also enjoy the fast-paced ever-changing digital environment, and my critical thinking skills lend themselves well to the work. I'm successful because I adhere to this simple notion: that the one staple that all disciplines thrive on is concept, pure and simple.
