Starproject Studios started about 7 years ago
under the name E.R. Design. Founder Steve Hubbard
had studied graphics in High School, went on to study
it in college and went out into the job market with
a solid set of graphic design skills. His first paying
computer graphics job was for Metro Signs designing
large store front signs around the Columbus, OH metro
area. Finding this job not enough of a challenge he
moved on to doing advertising design for a Advanced
Printing, where he designed advertising/marketing
art for clients such as Kroger Inc., and several other
large name companies. While working at Advanced he
learned a lot more about design but was intrigued
by a new form of design, new media design.
So
in 1997 Steve got a job at a local Internet provider
and started working on learning web design, specifically
Flash animation/design. This new form of media was
amazing and challenging. Being able to have users
interact with the art blew the doors off static design
elements. He was hooked. Working day and night he
tried new things, different ways of designing websites
and other forms of animation. He then got his first
big break, he got a job working for PPSI Studios,
where he was exposed to many new opportunities.
Working at PPSI Studios Steve was let go to design
numerous fully animated Flash sites, including Ricard
Fords first Flash website. Also well working at PPSI,
he was introduced back to a media that he worked with
before, video. He worked on Video Toaster systems
using Lightwave 3D. At PPSI Steve produced two commercial
3D animation spots for Ricart Ford as well as 3D graphics
for ads that were printed in the Columbus Dispatch.
Working at PPSI he learned so much well in production
of this various works. PPSI went thru re-structuring
and Steve got a job as a New Media Director for The
Web People, his first job managing people.
At
The Web People Steve developed skills in working with
people and clients. He was thrown into various arenas
of work from 3D animation to interactive design. He
also developed a very valuable skill here, he learned
to deliver are extremely tight deadlines. It honed
his focus on projects and made him a better designer
overrall. While working at The Web People, the company
went thru drastic personal changes and Steve decided
to take a job at a technology company, ANI technology
as a New Media director.
During the time of his various full-time jobs, Steve
operated a freelance business...formly known as E.R.
Design, now Starproject Studios. Having left ANI technology,
he know runs Starproject Studios full-time offereing
services from 3d animation to Corporate identification.
We hope that you enjoyed this history of the company
and have fun looking at the various services we offer
here. Thank you.
