Possibly the best brief I ever received, the request was to “Show a person’s projected wealth based on a series of input / outputs”
The brief additionally requested that the “input / outputs should be adjustable and a method of capturing and comparing data provided”. The potential client was looking for a design partner who:
- could work collaboratively: the work was for an product that projected a customers wealth and there was a high level of expertise handover required
- was able to think differently: the customer really wanted to shake up the market where historically these kind of calculations were specialised and done in excel spreadsheets
For the pitch we provided a working prototype that allowed the customer to complete a short survey and build a forecast. The forecast could be refined, for example adding planned financial outlays which could then be compared and contrasted by creating a snapshot.
This work was carried out at the infancy of CSS3 three-dimensional transformations to see where this new technology could be taken. The work was rendered and I produced a library of CSS transformations and JavaScript.
The client loved the work, as did I.
Whilst the interface is dated, this project was intellectually rewarding and an example of what can be done when given creative freedom
