Million Short

Role: Lead Designer

Million Short is a unique web search engine that allows you to filter and refine your search results. After the website's initial success in 2013 the company decided to relaunch the website in late 2015. This relaunch would include more options to filter your searches.

To promote the relaunch of the website and display the new features, the Million Short team attended a trade show. I created a one page flyer that would be handed out to all attendees to better showcase the new filters Million Short would now offer.

The design began by putting a face to Million Short’s web crawler, giving it an identity people could easily recognize. I played around with various ideas and sketches before taking to to Illustrator to create the final vector. The final product was a robot the team and I later named Shortee.

After bringing Shortee to life, I used InDesign to create the flyer that promotes Million Short’s new filters and features. I wanted the flyer to have a, youthful feel to it because that was the premise of the relaunch, to reintroduce a trusted product with more up to date, fresh and innovative features. Using InDesign I successfully created an informative one pager that was able to effectively get the message across while sparking interest in the robot we call Shortee.
