introduction
Mocoro
is a small interactive studio founded in January 2007 by Eduard Prats Molner
and Hugo Ahlberg in Berlin, Germany. They met in 2004 at Fork Unstable Media Berlin where
they worked with the
international Adidas
Tennis web site. Years later, after some freelance work, both
realised that they were tired of the way most
Internet agencies work, and thus Mocoro was created!
Mocoro combines
all disciplines to concept, design and develop interactive applications in a
unique process, erasing all borders between design and technology.
Furthermore, Mocoro believes that by merging designers and developers in all
project phases is the only way to create compact, innovative and
user-friendly experiences through robust applications that are easy to
update. Mocoro's activity is currently 100% Internet based, but are
working to bring some of their interactive ideas into other forms such as
installations.
Some Mocoro Projects
Mocoro has released 3 in-house projects during the first 5 months, and has some other nice web projects coming out very soon.
Cicatriz Clothing is the most recent project by Mocoro. A fully integrated web shop built in Flash, featuring a lo-fi video interface showcasing the latest collection from Cicatriz. A Mac-friendly mouse wheel feature enhances user's experience by letting them select products on the main interface in a video scrubbing style.
The Cicatriz Clothing Web Shop has received three notable awards so far:
The FWA - Site of the day, 1st of June 2007
Who we are
Hugo is a screen designer who studied at Hyper Island (Crew 9), a new media design school in Sweden. His passion for video games made him pay attention to interactivity and graphic design at an early age. However he tried a career as a Linux/Windows NT system administrator but realised his mistake and switched to interface design.
Hugo has an advanced technical knowledge that let him create and design concepts precisely and naturally for the interactive medium. His site www.melanchology.com showcases some of Hugo's recent work.
Eduard is an engineer focused on information design and interactive applications development. With a feel for motion and graphic design, Eduard enjoys spending time scripting up to the smallest detail on any interactive application.
At the age of 13, Eduard wrote his first little program on an Amstrad CPC 464 and he unconsciously began to understand the beauty of computer scripted graphics when drawing lines and circles by using a set of very simple code instructions on a Spectrum Sinclair.
Eduard has been working as a freelance developer since 1999 in Barcelona and Berlin, and has collaborated in several projects with remarkable advertisement and internet agencies such as Mccann Ericsson, Interactive Bureau, Vasava Artworks, Xnografics, Fork Unstable Media and Die Argonauten. His Website www.jocabola.com showcases his most recent activity.
