Company Description

IMVU is an online virtual world (or “metaverse”, similar to Second Life or The Sims) where members use 3D avatars to meet new people, chat, create, and play games. Founded in 2004, they have the largest 3D-based user-generated virtual goods catalog consisting of more than 30 million items. They’re also known as one of the leading practitioners of the lean startup approach.

Project Description


After going through several alternate looks for the avatar – including different poses, clothing, and background environments – we settled on going with this direction and tested a few different headline and button text combinations. Based on the direction landing page tests were also done and eventually the IMVU homepage included the design in the main image rotation.
