ICON5

Von Glitschka, Technology Chair - The Illustration Conference

ICON is a professional organization that promotes illustration, gathering the industry’s best and brightest talent to present and talk about their work, their business, their lives, and their passion for illustration.

Mr. Glitschka needed a solid website for his content-rich event. Much care was given to credits and references for the host of illustrators who graciously donated their artwork to the site. Top banner art is randomly selected and displayed from a large folder of donated artwork.

Adobe Stock Photos: Take Creative License Contest

Steve Newman, Creative Director - Euro RSCG 4D

Adobe Stock Photos is a royalty-free image service that provides a convenient way for creative professionals to search across multiple image libraries at once and purchase royalty-free images.

Mr. Newman had a digital image mash-up that he wanted to animate as a promo for Adobe Stock Photo's Take Creative License Contest. The layered Photoshop file was reverse-engineered and separated into its basic elements. A cursor was animated to engage the viewer and move the elements around.

Jason Greene

Jason Greene, Painter

Jason Greene is a Portland-based painter with past experience as as an archaeological illustrator and an interactive exhibit designer.

Mr. Greene wanted a website that comfortably displayed the breadth and diversity of his work. The flexibility of the portfolio engine allows each piece to be viewed both individually and as a member of a collection. The hand-painted logo adds a bit of the artist's own character and style.

AMP: Artist Mentorship Program

William Kendall, Volunteer Coordinator

The Artist Mentorship Program (AMP) exists to create musical opportunities for homeless and at-risk youth in a safe and healthy environment.

Mr. Kendall wanted a website that both attracted youth to the program and also targeted potential donors. Donors need a site that appears established. But, make it too slick and we risked alienating the kids who benefit from the program. We created a solid website composed of pages that appear hastily thrown together.

Steel Pond Studios

Robert Jefferson Travis Pond, Sculptor & Fabricator

Steel Pond is the art studio of Portland-based steel artist Travis Pond who creates sculpture and furniture for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Mr. Pond needed a hip website to showcase his diverse body of steelwork. We represented various series with thumbnail images, forgoing titles which felt redundant. Light and playful movement make the hefty pieces seem almost airy, allowing visitors to tour through tons of steel without breaking a sweat.

TS Whalen

Todd Stuart Whalen, Photographer

TS Whalen is a Portland-based, itinerant photographer and monument portraitist. A fine art mentality working in a commercial field.

For this iteration of his website, Mr. Whalen requested a click-less navigation. He wanted visitors to be able to roll and move in a near effortless manner. The two exceptions to his click-less edict: you must click to order prints or to email the artist. His client portfolio is still in the works.

Ms. Jones needed a place that her out-of-town clients could view her portfolio of print work. We created a tight little website, accenting her stylish design with subtle interactivity. The introductory animation is of Fremont Bridge which crosses the Willamette River near the design studio.

Keep The Drive: All Hail The Rebel

Steve Newman, Creative Director - Euro RSCG 4D

Keep the Drive is a national teen-led movement promoting smart teen driving which was created to actively address the #1 killer of teens in the United States today: car crashes.

Mr. Newman wanted an animated introduction for the Allstate Insurance Company program that attracted youth and got them excited about the program. He wanted the piece to feel like a classic Saul Bass movie-opener. A soundtrack of Taiko drumming drove the transitions and empowered the imagery.

YRT2 provides their customers with integrated community and inside-the home technology products and services over state-of-the-art fiber optic networks.

Mr. Greco wanted a presentation that would both inform and suitably impress prospective clients of YRT2. An interactive cut-away home that describes technology points throughout the house was created as both a stand-alone and a web-accessible presentation. The sky color in the presentation reflects the time of day.
