We got the chance to work with the great crew over at Focus Features on a full redesign of FilminFocus.com. The site takes a new approach from the traditional movie studio site by creating fresh content focused on the film world as a whole. While it still promotes Focus Features films it also aims to build a community around film lovers and the best minds in the industry. We also had the opportunity to work on sites for great films like ‘Milk’ and the
hilarious ‘Hamlet 2′.
We just wrapped a cool new site for the brilliant animated film by Shane Acker ‘9′. It was a lot of fun working on it and really came out pretty nice. It was designed and built to fit into the filminfocus.com framework.

When an opportunity to work on a new Focus Features film came about we couldn’t wait. When we found out it was the Coen Brothers latest film, A Serious Man, and we were even more excited. A Serious Man is described as “exploring questions of faith, familial responsibility, delinquent behavior, dental phenomena, academia, mortality, and Judaism – and intersections thereof”. It was a very personal film for the brothers and so we wanted to give them the best site possible.
We designed a snazzy new site for SYMS that is being developed by the folks over at Envoy Design. It was complete redesign from scratch that the client absolutely loves, which is nice. We love them too. The site is being built over a wordpress CMS which lets it not only be fancy looking but also easy to update. SYMS has been commited to giving ‘Educated Consumers’ real bargins and real designer clothes for nearly 50 years. Hang tight for the live site. We’ll post the link when it is ready to roll.
We were thrilled to get the chance to work on a redesign of the site for shu uemura. A L ‘Oreal brand, founded by renowned japanese makeup artist Mr. Shu Uemura, has been an innovator in beauty creation for over 50 years. The talented team at Digital Pulp lead the redesign of the site doing the initial work and the first 20+ pages. Over a three week period, we were able to finish over 30 pages and templates of the site to complete the makeover. We were lucky to have such great designs by Digital Pulp to work from. There were very long hours and late nights involved in order to finish the project in the short timeline. That’s the kind of thing we do for clients we love. Read more »
Working with advertising agency ‘Cowboy International’, we designed and concepted a huge initiative for Adweek’s relaunch. The ‘Big Claims’ campaign is a play on the over-the-top language used in ridiculous infomercials. The campaign consisted of an array of print ads, direct mail, e-mail, a landing page and banner ads. Sabrina Crow, senior vice president for the marketing and media group at Nielsen Business Media in New York, has some nice things to say in the New York Times article about the campaign (Yeah that’s right, NYT). You should check it out. Read more »
Working with advertising agency ‘Cowboy International’, we scored a couple of fun projects for Monster.com. The first was a co-branded site with Monster and eBay. Monster was looking for way to help powerhouse eBay sellers find people to help them with their burgeoning businesses. We took piles and piles of boring data that and “how-to” documents that were getting ignored by users and created a fun and engaging site that has been a huge success for Monster. The second site was a contest co-branded with Monster and Vocation Vacations. Users got a chance to upload their own videos telling us why they should win a chance to get a dream job vacation package from Vacation Vocations. Yup, another hit.
