The quarter that went too fast.
|
|
Hello! I hope this finds you well into the new year.
Last quarter did go by too quickly. Some of you know I was on paternity leave much of the quarter. I found it harder work than it sounds, but very much worth it. December arrived and then zipped by with its holiday flair, and 2011 rolled in quickly. However, I managed to get some designing done. Here are three highlights.

Working Technology: identity inspired by chemistry.
|
Working Technology is the moniker of Copenhagen-based IT consultant Michael Willemoes. Brainstorming led to several different conceptual and graphic proposals, but a strong and simple design inspired by the basic building block of the periodic table proved an early winner.

Image2Work.com, web design for the right path.
|
Image2work.com provides clipping paths. The premise is simple: contact Image2Work and get upload access, upload your image, indicate what sort of path you need and then collect your clipped image within 24 hours. If it sounds like something for you, you can try 3 images for free.
The site went live in English back in September and launched in Danish two weeks after the new year. Multilanguage content management issues were solved with a custom configuration of the open source Wordpress platform as CMS.

Ørgreen Holidays 2010: "Amazing with the farting."
|
This project generated one of my favorite emails of all time:
"WE LOVE LOVE LOVE. Amazing with the farting part!!! We're done!!!! Thank you."
Kind words from Louise Mo Pedersen at Ørgreen. What is she talking about? See it here on YouTube.
