This time, I take a look at AMC theatres and how they could be better using their email templates.

Lately I’ve been contributing to the EmailZoo. Here’s my latest article with some suggestions for my favourite local improv theatre: http://bit.ly/vTj7w

I love the fact that when i went to sign up, check my user preferences, or switch between songs, the song that was playing didn’t stop. Kudos to Grooveshark on their great UI, and recognizing that music sites should be all about the MUSIC! www.listen.grooveshark.com

here’s a sample of one of their widgets by Clearspring:

Gone Stitching

Date: May 2008

Role: Designer

The goal of this website design was to provide information and samples to potential customers for this custom embroidery business. I was given the logo and some direction on colours. My choice of colours and playful use of stitiching lines as design elements reinforce the nature of this business.

Client: Illumination Web Development / Direct IT

Role: Designer

The goal of this project was to take existing icons and give them a slightly updated look and feel. By adding a sense of depth and a more consistent colour pallete, these icons are now work together as a system.

Wifidelity website homepage design

Date: May 2008

Client: Wifidelity

Role: Designer

Wifidelity needed a rebranding and redesign for their website. Their goals were to update their look and feel, portray the high-tech nature of their business and solidify their brand. This was achieved through a high contrast colour scheme and a modern, sans-serif typeface. The photography selected represented the ideas of clarity within communications and business goals. The client made slight adjustments to this design but their current site maintains this feel.

Wifidelity Logo and Business Card

Wifidelity Logo and Business Card

Date: May 2008

Client: Wifidelity

Role: Designer

Wifidelity contacted me about their website and I ended up re-designing their logo as well. My version has a high-tech feel through my use of a high contrast colour scheme and a modern, sans-serif typeface.

This crisp colour scheme and repeating wave-bars are echoed in their business card design.

This was a really fun project. I love working on branding pieces!

I did the design for the page templates on this website and Jason at Illumination did the development magic.

 

The client provided print materials, logos, and colours to work from. This design is clean and structural, echoing their business.
