IMVU âDress Up for Grown Upsâ Campaign
Additional Alternates Tested
Project Description: Here we initially tested a few different taglines, models, clothing, and backgrounds using the 300x250 format. After determining which combination produced the best results additional ad sizes were created. Eventually localized versions for ten different geo-tarted audiences as well. Versions were also created to blend in with specific web site placements so they didn't stand out as being ads too much.

IMVU General Avatars Banner Ads
Project Description: Most of the art in this project came from other IMVU designers or I appropriated after digging through internal servers. These test banners were created to see if viewers were particularly attracted to certain avatars more than others. I also intentionally avoided making them overly sexy (such as by avoiding showing overly exposed cleavage or a guy grabbing a girls butt) to better understand if customers were actually attracted by the virtual characters and environments or just the potential of having virtual sex with strangers. The logo is also faded back so it's less prominent and the avatars stand out (or âpopâ) more.

IMVU Homepage Main Image Variation Mockups
Project Description: IMVU had amazing designers (some might say “illustration artists”) working in-house and occasionally I'd grab art from them to format and present for potential use on the homepage. Other times I’d assemble collages using art from various sources to represent ideas from internal marketing, management, and dev folks to consider using on the homepage. We would then test - such as wether showing an individual avatar posing closeup or showing couples in activity scenes generated more clicks. Eventually there were probably another dozen or more “hero” images I worked on while involved. This work was really inspiring design wise. Just looking at some of the original avatar compositions and background art other designers came up with plus being able to collaborate with them on compositions - really really cool stuff!
