AKGold Accomplishments (Description by Andrew Gold):

I created this eCommerce site for Microsoft and Wood Associates in 1997 while Creative Director of OMIX, Inc.

Microsoft was searching for a way to centralize its brand merchandise for employees, marketing, corporate gifts and tradeshows. Wood Associates presented a solution to Microsoft and then turned to OMIX for our expertise.

Wood Associates and Microsoft wanted to make a really fun site and from the design analysis I produced the concept and then the colorful figures. This solution was cost effective, easy to implement, and fun to navigate from a user's perspective.

It's a good example of a 1997 website and system.
