This morning one of my small side projects was born onto the Internet: a quasi-experimental redesign of a voiceover client’s website. The new site, Bill Cochran’s http://www.cochranaudio.com/, stands in sharp contrast to the usual one-pagers I do for my voiceover clients in that, one, it has more than one page, and two, the MP3s are embedded on the individual pages instead of in pop-up windows. It’s an interesting experiment and I’m pleased with how it turned out.
And yes, I still keep my design consulting business running on the side in addition to all the research and writing and communications directing and lecturing and creative writing and everything else. I suspect that any well-fed academic who tells you they don’t do any kind of consulting or other projects on the side is lying. 🙂
After researching transmedia storyworlds at MIT, guiding Microsoft in its CTO/CXO's think tank, co-founding Microsoft Studios' Narrative Design team, and exploring the future of entertainment and media as the Creative Director and a Research Fellow for USC's Annenberg Innovation Lab, I'm now the Creative Director for USC's World Building Media Lab, a storyteller, a designer, a consultant, and a doctoral student in Media Arts and Practice at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. more »
