Borders Gift Squad
Working with Borders, Firstborn put together a helpful tool for holiday season shoppers. Users can chat with Xmas characters, who - after answering a few simple questions - come up with some great holiday gift recommendations.

The Gift Squad
Part of my role on the project was to create the "webcam" animations, that could be seen while the user was chatting to the Christmas characters who would then give gift recommendations.
Attention To Detail
In general my job was to take care of the little elements and details that would later fill the experience with emotions and bring it to life. The preloader for example was an elf that would struggle with balancing an ever increasing amount of gift boxes. For the background of the site, I created a typographic snowfall, fitting to the design and atmosphere of the site.
