Screensaver counts down Christmas for Rich's

Tuesday 11th December 2007

Rich's Products Ltd is the UK division of the Rich Products Corporation, a brand known around the world as a leading supplier to the food service, in-store bakery and retail marketplaces. From their head office in Fareham, UK, Rich's provides a wide variety of premium bakery and dessert products to premier food service and bakery customers in Northern Europe.

Project24 were contacted by a Hampshire based design company who had designed and managed the spoof 'Legalise Mince Pies' campaign for Rich's, to promote their mince pies in the run up to Christmas. As part of the campaign they had created a website with an online petition, together with poster and desktop downloads, but they also wished to add a screensaver with a live countdown to Christmas for visitors to download.

We built a Rich's branded screensaver (shown right) to show a live countdown of the days, hours, minutes and seconds left until Christmas Day. We then built two stand-alone installer applications to allow users to install the screensaver - one for Microsoft Windows operating systems, and one for Mac OS X operating systems. On both platforms the installer demonstrates the screensaver before asking the user if they wish to install it. Once installed the user can customise the screensaver in the normal way via their operating system Control Panels.

More information about this screensaver design can found within the portfolio section of our site...
