A website to celebrate State Auto's 100 year history
Where to start with a century of history? The project began in a dusty (also 100 year-old) basement where we rifled through stacks of old photos, scanned newspaper clippings and digitized video reels.
Working with copy from my team and the Centennial mark from my creative lead, I set about creating a fully interactive timeline website, which allowed visitors to explore and interact at their pace.
The use of various techniques, such as "2.5D" animation, colorization and digital restoration helped bring these 'artifacts' to life—such as this photograph of the company's founders.
Why use a video thumbnail, when you could use an old retro TV and Rubik's cube instead?
Fusing elements of web design, animation, photo manipulation, video editing, and even music, (I created an original background track) this project was a privilege to take on, stretched me creatively, and received accolades for my team and the company.
