Good Dog Design excels in creating and developing concepts for interactive projects, websites and interactive learning products. We are adept at fleshing out existing concepts as well as developing innovative new ideas.
Our team has years of experience in concept brainstorming, and the many methods for creating and refining ideas. Concept development requires creative thinking, research, team management and a host of skills required to prioritize, develop and present ideas effectively. We have been called in for concept development projects ranging from toys to touchscreens. For these projects, we create visual storyboards, build visual and/or functional prototypes, and develop concepts from early prototypes to finalized production pieces. We enjoy the collaborative environment when we work closely with our clients internal teams, but we are equally comfortable working independently with occasional reviews with art directors or project managers.

Web Features: Games : Prototyping
Web Feature Development
Innovative site features can explain concepts and services, increase traffic and revenue, add interest and engage users. We have developed a wide range of web feature concepts for our clients - some examples are listed here:
- Games - to support messaging, enhance user satisfaction, improve site experience (Flash/Director based)
- Activities - to demonstrate concepts, test understanding, entertain and inform users
- Tools - to streamline tasks, analyze data, encourage creativity
- Presentation to explain ideas, demonstrate abilities, impress clients
Game Development
Our very first projects had us developing and presenting concepts for children’s toys (interactive and traditional) and educational games and titles. From that base, we have contributed to the invention, design, and development of a wide range of game concepts, interfaces and environments for all ages. Here are some of the services that we provide:
- Concepts - we lead brainstorming sessions, develop new ideas, create storyboards and prototypes, refine presentations
- Interfaces - we create look and feel treatments and design game interfaces
- Environments - we build environments and interfaces for game sites
Prototyping
Testing a new concept with an onscreen prototype can save time and money. We have worked quickly and collaboratively with our clients to build concept prototypes for presentation and user testing. From simple linear demonstrations to interactive product tests, our prototypes have helped clients visualize and assess concepts before committing their time and resources to development. See more about our user interface capabilities. Our services include:
- Storyboarding
- "Look and Feel" treatments
- Product feature visualization and positioning
- Interactive prototype development
- Quick development cycles
