The Design Can

We're excited to be relaunching Malcolm Anthony's new Web site. Malcolm is one of the most experienced DUI and criminal defense attorneys in North Florida. Our challenge was to position his firm as "The Beaches Lawyer" and we did so by designing a bright and approachable site with simple, yet engaging graphics.

Chris Salvador, the lead designer, employed a slew of new AJAX techniques to make the site more user-friendly.

Take a look and let me know what you think. And look for the coasters we designed for him at your favorite beach bar.

God forbid, you ever get into trouble but if do, call Malcolm at 285-4LAW. As a matter of fact, put that number into your cell right now. Cause ya' neva know.

The other day I posted this message to Twitter about the launch of the new TPC.com home page. It's a major site for us, even though we only redesigned the home page. The secondary pages were from the TOUR's previous marriage.

I received a few well deserved kudos but more importantly one of my fellow designers pointed out a major issue with broken links involving flash navigation. (I know, who still does that?)

Fortunately we were able to fix the problem before the Big Boss found out. I think I'll be using Twitter from now on prior to launching. It's like a dozen of more fresh eyes!

Come by the Burrito Gallery tonight to see a first-of-it's-kind exhibit in Jacksonville. Imagine a wall of iMacs with digital creations from around the country. Circuits, a digital exhibit curated by the nationally-known Designer Doug Grimmett, will open at tonight's Artwalk and run through this Sunday.

Doug is the principal of Primal Screen, a motion graphics and animation company out of Atlanta. Although we won't be seeing his amazing work we will see work from artists PES, We Work For Them, MOOVlab, ©ause Collective, Jeff Boortz, Eric Dyer, and others.

Circuits officially kicks off Re:Charge, AIGA Jacksonville's every-two-year conference. If you haven't signed up, there is still time.

One of our clients, Engle Homes, asked us to kick up their Web presence a notch. We are helping them with a new campaign, Choose 2 for free. So we dug up an idea from about a year ago, of adding some Flash Video. Rocky, our main client contact, has a lot of experience with public speaking. So we rented a video camera from our good friend Paul Figura and set up a ghetto-style studio in the vacant office next door.

Add a little help from Adobe Premier and Flash and voila, Rocky walks on screen announcing the big sale. It's certainly not a first for the web, but it's definitely a first for us. Too fun. Anyhow, check it our for yourself. http://www.englejax.com/index-video.html

And while your at it, why not buy a house or too.
