About Michael Murphy

For the past 12 years I have been working exclusively as a Creative Director, Web Director, Art Director, and Producer, in the Video Game industry, working for companies including IGN Entertainment, Fox Interactive Media, and Sony Online Entertainment, Lucas Arts, and GameSpy Technologies. My many years of experience include a wide range of skills, including illustration, graphic design, web design, web development, print media, online marketing, SEO and SEM, art direction, and creative direction.

As a Creative Director, my job is to oversee all aspects of product design, as well as providing creative solutions and strategies to meet marketing objectives. The main aspects of the role of a Creative Director are to interface with the client and interpret their communications strategy and then develop proposed creative approaches and treatments that align with that strategy. read more
