Instructional Series | Designtex | 2:02
Teaching, training and instructional videos offer valuable learning to an organization's employees, customers and partners. We recently completed a set of six for a Portland, Maine company with a new product called “Casper” (like the friendly, invisible ghost). They're accessible by the sales team, partners and distributors everywhere on several platforms. Whenever possible, we incorporate visual elements from existing training and promotional materials already in circulation for consistency and familiarity in look - and brand.

A montage of smaller scale work - work that is a small part of larger needs. Like needing to announce a new product platform to your national sales team or introducing new products to foreign markets, updating customers on your corporate initiatives or demonstrating a product’s key features globally. It’s a little work that helps more important work happen.
