Michael Carissimo

I am currently creating final visuals for and part of the design of an educational game app on the mobile platform. "Grammar Spammer" enables kids to learn grammar fundamentals in a fun, challenging time-based activity. I have been affiliated with WeebeeU, which continues to produce interactive multimedia, since it's inception in 1993.

I have contributed to a range of projects spanning animation, illustration, character and graphic design. The traditional roots of my education has allowed me to embrace an appreciation for a full spectrum of the visual and design arts.

The Dogtown Group provided a lengthy relationship in which I was lead artist. Their services allowed me to explore animation, illustration and design throughout a host of multimedia projects. The Dogtown Group projects encompass corporate addresses, marketing, interactive web demonstrations and kiosk systems.

Lead animator for Silver Burdett Ginn's "Top Hat Tales" and lead artist in visual development of character, environment and layout for Silver Burdett Ginn's "Astro Word" interactive educational CD-ROMs. The HyperMedia Group custom-creates multimedia software solutions to meet client specifications, inclusive of interactive multimedia development services to corporate, institutional and government clients.
