Maui Jim Sunglasses | Not Just About Glare

Planning and prototyping occurred throughout this large-scale, multi-team project. Considerable effort went into the definition of this project to ensure that the end result was an integrated public website, dealer extranet and private intranet. Each facet of the site (public, dealer, and private) had to tie into a central set of databases and administrative tools.

The public site has a series of interactive Flash components that were used to illustrate elements of light and product features among other things. Each of these interactive pieces were wireframed in Photoshop prior to creation in Flash.
