The famous swiss branch Migros is the official sponsor of 6 different Summer music festivals.
We’ve developed a website which offers information about all the events and concerts, and added engaging games and personalized e-cards. It was organized in 3 groups:
a) Calendar listing – containing festival information, concerts’ timetables, etc.
b) Online games – the 15 top scores would receive a prize.
c) Social network game – select your favorite festival and build a virtual tent, then invite 3 friends to join in. By uploading a photo of yourself and then gather votes for your tent, (by posting it onto your Facebook wall and/or sending the e-card via e-mail). The most rated tent would get free passes for the festival of choice, as well as a real tent to take, big enough to fit 4 people, with food, drinks and special kits.

Website:
The redesign for the heineken.ch website was particularly interesting, since we had a set of challenging tasks. The goal was to transform the existing Heineken webpage into a ‘music & sports’ online platform.
Heineken sponsors major sports and music events, throughout the world, offering helpful details, insights and general information, such as venues, prices, dates, etc. For this purpose, and high-demanding information, we focused ourselves on developing a ‘power-tool’ where our client could get their communication out to the public, and show the range of their different activities.

Flexible and modular are the keywords for the framework we’ve developed with Flash and PHP, turning the platform into a unlimited and resourceful tool, ever growing and evolving. In my opinion, the content will be immense in a short period of time and in different levels of interest.

One of the coolest features is the Heineken online radio stream, we’ve built into the website, very ‘in-tune’ with the cool green brand.

In 2008, I had the opportunity to create 2 online games for the web portal, Autoscout24: ‘Hot Cars Quartet’ and ‘Hot Cars Cover’.

In ‘Hot Cars Quartet’, you’d be given a set of cards and some starting points as credits, in a ‘Magic the Gathering’ style. You could use these points to buy new cards and, if sufficient, a real car. To collect points, the gamer had to collect 4 cards of every car model in a ‘Player vs Player’ mode and using 4 random cards of the deck. By comparison of different features of the automobile, one of players would take its opponents’s card and hence, add a new card to the deck. This game was an acclaimed international success and won the Silver Medal in the online & mobile campaigns category in the 2009 edit of ‘Best of Swiss Web’.

The ‘Hot Cars Cover’ was based on a photo model’s fashion shoot, in which you’re able to personalize your own magazine cover.  After you chose your favorite model, you could upload a photo of your car or motorbike and you had a range of 5 different cover templates to startup, as well as the 5 best pictures of the photo session. In the last step, you were able to compose, resize, move, add text, and change colors in your magazine cover. The final result could then be sent to friends via e-mail and / or downloaded for printouts or background images.

This is the 4th Edition “…mania.ch” campaign from Migros.ch and it was a Fun Project to do. One can learn about Switzerland while playing different games and by collecting dominos. By clicking on each of the 26 cantons existing on the map of Switzerland, one has to answer a quiz about the designated canton. We selected 10 Tourist attractions and made 10 Games based upon them.

You can play against your friends, play for your Canton and compete for the overall high score. The more points you get, the more your canton will move up in “the Battle of the Swiss Cantons”. We approached as well Facebook and made 2 Facebook games, this was totally a new experience for me and a lot of fun. After 4 running weeks, I’ve realized the amount of success achieved with this project. Here’s a sample of the astonishing statistics we are witnessing: 193 qps (query/second); about 100 000 games a day.

This is the 3 Edition ” …mania.ch campaign” from Migros.ch .  It was one of the more challenging projects I have done.
The complexity doesn’t show so I will write a technical report soon and add it into this post. But here is a short overview: Migros & WWF came together for this project – objective: to collect stickers about rain forests and their faunas. The visitor can learn about rain forests and study their inhabitants and then test his/her knowledge through the Quizz Game. You can also plant a tree in the virtual forest. By selecting a kind of tree, color and flowers, then choose a free spot to place it.
After playing the Quizz you will get points, which you can use to make your tree grow. Every tree is different and unique down to is every pixel which is drawn randomly in real time. You can choose a branch where you want to place a growing point and the tree will assume a different shape. This growing method (class) respects the Fibonacci law, identically as the actual growing of trees, with blossoming flowers and fruits. Daily as you visualize the tree, it will redraw all its 100000 pixels and build curves and leaves. Once you update your tree, the method backs up the previous state of the tree (therefore enabling a time lapse image of your tree getting bigger). The forest overview hast 454 000 tree spaces and if you decide to take a walk through the forest,  this will render all of them in real time for you. More to come…

From 01.01.2008 – 15.06.2008 I developed 4 flash projects for post.ch.

Project 1- The flash Geogame:
A Game where the players had to deliver 10 packages to a designated country. Every continent on the map was a Level, and your error tolerance was getting smaller and smaller. The game toured out to be a great success, as people loved to compete against each other.

Project 2- The e-lesson:
An e-learning platform for schools where you are able to register yourself and compare your results, to learn about the mailing system in Switzerland (the proper way of using technology in your communications). This project was built mainly for users under 18 years.

Project 3- A digital Kids book:
You can enter your personal information and then a story was generated about you. You could the order this book to be send to your home.

Project 4- The Virtual Information Desk:
A very simple graphical interface for users who are seeking information about the POST or its services. The 3D videos were what made this tool so helpful for all kinds of users. It was a new way of making a really nice site map in 4 languages. This Project was Priced with the Silver Medal in the category “Online Marketing” by “Best OF Swiss Web” in 2009.  virtueller-postschalter
