Muggins




Here's a fun little project I did awhile ago. I had to sign non-disclosures while working on it, but since it's on the web, figure it's ok to talk about now. American Greetings asked me to design some avatars, I guess they are used for MSN Messenger. I'm not really sure of the details. And since I have a Mac, I can't actually use them, but you can try them out here at this link:

It was a fun job. I built all the pieces in Macromedia Flash, sort of like a flip book. I delivered everything grayscale and the fabulous folks at American Greetings did the backgrounds, animations and colors (since you can change the colors of most things.)

Where the term Muggin comes from - no idea.
