The Echo Site (Explore Canadian History Online) was part of the NFB's vast Canadian History Web project. I was brought in as Artistic Director late in the game. So, I immediately hired a team of Web designers that would be able to create a look and feel appropriate for the project's target audience of 18-25 year olds. We worked closely with the Technical and Content teams to produce a working prototype.

The ECHO prototype remains an unpublished Web site, but the production experience and design concepts were not wasted. Ultimately, they played a key role in advancing the NFB's subsequent Web development initiatives.

Below are links to a number of screen captures and other documents related to the project. They give an idea what that the unseen prototype looked like, and offer some insight to the production process.
