Without giving away too may secrets, our talented team of web designers focused on creating some pretty forward thinking integrations with cellular phones, SMS text messaging, personalized web portals, & GPS. Pretty geeky stuff, but vehicles to keep mobile communication with the pack a real possibility. Several looks were presented, with these getting "favorable" exposure. What you see here is the entry page to the Bud Light portal. A place where you can keep tabs on friends, bars, events, and hot spots 24/7. It's scary how much the people at Anheuser-Busch know about their target markets and emerging technologies.

Our 3-man designer team in Chicago had roughly 8 days to plan, design and storyboard this pitch. The idea was to create a fresh, colorful and consistent look across all of Cap Ones' banner advertising campaigns. We were heavily involved on late night design reviews and strategy sessions to develop looks that resonated the 'no hassle' message. What's more, these banner designs took interactive application into account for things like streaming video, real-time calculators and audio-based testimonials. What you see here is a taste of our participation in the whole campaign. We're really proud of what our team developed in such a short amount of time.

We worked closley with Carmel Catholic High School's Office of Institutional Advancement to organize user-centric site architectures, craft unique design compositions and enable industry standard site functions. Useful functions of the site include a comprehensive calendar of events, RSS announcements, an online bookstore and a custom content management system. We are very proud of our efforts and honored to have worked with one of the nation's top rated high schools.

The library consider themselves to be a technologically forward thinking organization. We agree. They were willing to take significant risks, when it came to design and data. We gave them a complete re-vamp of the site content, architecture, imagery and functionality. This website project was a massive overhaul for the library; and a great deal of planning was necessary in order for this project to be successful. In the end, this website was more than just a pretty face. The patrons of the Oak Lawn Public Library now have a resource where they can easily make connections, participate in community events and obtain answers quickly.

Did you know Proctor and Gamble invented the concept of the soap opera – originally designed to showcase soap powders on TV? Imagine that. Full-blown content created for a specific target market - designed to sell. So looking at emerging technologies, Proctor and Gamble opened the floor to dozens of super-sized agencies tasked to come up with the winning concept for delivering specialized content across different media and devices. How do we tie relevant product offerings with trackable SMS, e-mail, blogs, and personalized coupons? How can we tap into this whole user-generated content thing and get them to buzz about boring, everyday products?

Boutique shops can afford to look good too. Vintner's Cellar Winery of Libertyville wanted a dash of sophistication to meet its highly eclectic market space. A fair amount of this site is administered directly by the client - a lifesaver for the specialty shop. The design is a direct reflection of the shops warm colors and modern, bohemian style.

We were tasked to build an informative site for a local dentist that is aggressively optimized for the major search engines in the highly competitive cosmetic dentistry space.

Search engine optimization was the main focus of this project. The keywords the client was after were highly competitive for both paid-placement and natural search results so a clear, aggressive strategy was required. We started by analyzing the market and creating a keyword universe that combined competitive words with more targeted, less competitive words. This led to a comprehensive strategy that allowed the client to target both the broad market and specific segments.
