Working with …. ChicagoHistoryMuseum.org

The Chicago History Museum (CHM) prides itself on its diverse and impressive array of artifacts from Chicago’s rich history. Back in 1997, we were asked to create a fun and informative way to display the artifacts online. Before broadband connections, balancing file size and quality was more of an issue in the mid 1990’s than it is now, and add animated graphics to the mix, it can be a real challenge. Flash was also a relatively new and uncommon way of creating animations, so we would create animations using Photoshop and the gif format. We created a variety of fun and engaging animations and graphics for Just the Artifacts – in fact, JTA became one of their most visited pages (until the remodel in 2000).

Flash forward to 2018, we still enjoy working with the creative and talented museum professionals.  Can’t wait to show off the next project in the works!
