Jason Arend Design Reel. I’m in the middle of working on a new Production Reel of some of my work in film, television, special effects, motion graphics and animation which should be out in the next few months. In the meantime I’m releasing something a little different. I’ve put together an animated portfolio consisting of static visual works including packaging design, web design, poster and promotional design, logo design, corporate identity and brand design, user interface design, poster design, national print campaigns and more. I have setup several ways for you to view the Design Reel video. Instructions are included above each embeded video on the page. For the very best viewing experience I recommend downloading the full 1080P video to your desktop, open the file in a quicktime h.264 supported video player, enter fullscreen and crank up the volume!

Design Reel Production. To breath life in to these otherwise motionless designs I used a combination of Adobe Photoshop, Logic Pro and Adobe After Effects. All animation, compositing, special effects and rendering was done in Adobe After Effects and music was mixed in Apple’s Logic Pro.

Watch The Animated SD Design Reel Video. Below is the Vimeo hosted SD encode. If you have a slower connection but still like to view the video in HD click the link in the player to view it on Vimeo’s site.

Watch The Animated HD 720P Design Reel Video. Below is the 1280x720p H.264 HD encode. If your computer has trouble handling it or it is taking too long to load on slower connections you can view the Vimeo hosted SD version above. Click the image to view the 720P HD version of the design reel in a lightwindow.

Watch The Animated HD 1080P Design Reel Video. Below is the 1920x1080p H.264 HD encode.

Click the image to view the 1080P HD version of the design reel in a lightwindow.

Download the Design Reel Video to Your Desktop.

E-Commerce Web Design and Video Commerce Development

E-Commerce Web Design and Video Commerce Development. PFI is one of the largest western retailers in the world and when I took over their e-commerce division the online store was in desperate need of a makeover and some crucial enhancements. After nearly six months of research and pouring over years of data I redesigned every square inch of the site optimizing every pixel to consistently brand PFI, better organize products and operations, maximize conversions, and create an effective yet enjoyable customer shopping experience.

This page is currently under construction. I will be posting a comprehensive writeup on our successful multichannel video strategy and UI design very shortly. Check back soon!
