Microsoft Works Task Launcher and Tour
3D Studio Max, Lightwave, Flash, Photoshop, XML
I designed and created new art for the 2004 release of the Work’s Task Launcher Interface.

In addition, I created a tour for the product using Flash and XML.

The tour won a 2004 Excellence award from the Puget Sound chapter of the Society for Technical Communication.
See a sample of the tour (in English) (1.3 MB)

Note: tour opens in a pop-up window.
The interface design uses adaptable color schemes that leverage the user’s system colors, calculating the chosen title bar color as the primary, and the opposite as the secondary. Below are some samples of the UI adaptation.
Olive

Spearmint

Watermelon

Mulberry



As part of designing the version 8 Works Task Launcher I created these icons.
The set on the left were header icons. Greeting card icons are on the right.
