Design Portfolio

April 17, 2009

Follow me as I update my design portfolio! I am currently 3D modeling a Victorian home in high detail.

Every now and then, someone comes along and completely changes up the way you see and use something and leaves you sitting there thinking, "Now why didn't I think of that!?". An advertising company called Boone Oakley, based out of Charlotte, NC, did just that by turning their company's website into a series of YouTube videos.

YouTube gives you the option of providing links on videos that you upload. Boone Oakley wised up and created a series of videos that correspond to links that are on each of their videos. So as you watch their intro video, you get to see their portfolio, history, contacts, etc. and a link is provided for each area. Once you click one, it takes you to another video and so on. It would not be surprising to see more companies start advertising this way in the future. The good thing about a YouTube website is that you do not have to pay for hosting to keep your website maintained. It's all quite clever yet very simple and worth checking out.
