My very first SlideShare presentation!

Dave — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 01:41:49 +0000

Looky here! My first ever SlideShare.net presentation! It’s a little ditty I created to help our traditional media buying folks transition over to the brave new world of online banner ads and all the specs they have to understand and bring into their Work Orders. It’s pretty basic, and it assumes I’ll be talking through some of the details, but it’s hopefully still somewhat informative… and maybe a little entertaining.

AIGA Philadelphia Chapter – Site Rebuild

Dave — Mon, 31 May 2010 19:09:56 +0000

Summary: Redesign and re-architect the static HTML and Coldfusion AIGA Philadelphia website into a full content managed Drupal website. The AIGA Philadelphia board wanted the new site to still visually tie in with the previous site’s color scheme, but were open to all other changes in content presentation and user interaction. The new site tries to bring consistency and user expectations into the forefront, while opening the back-end up to the board for more frequent and manageable updates. This new site is scheduled to be live by the end of the summer, 2010.

Philadelphia Tax Amnesty – Website and Online Media Campaign

Dave — Sun, 30 May 2010 19:03:33 +0000

Summary: Develop the online components of a full media campaign for the Philadelphia Tax Amnesty program. The website was designed to integrate the already developed brand system and create an engaging & informative web experience to promote program details as well as sign-up users into the program. In addition to the website, online banners were created in 2 waves. The first wave was in released prior to the program launch and provided basics about the program and it’s key beginning and ending dates. The second wave of banners went live on the program’s launch date and had an actionscript countdown clock alerting the user to how many days were remaining in the program. Additionally, for the street-crew promotions staff, a fully animated placard was created with a countdown clock that showed the Days, Hours, Minutes and seconds remaining in the program.

Saint Clare’s – Site Redesign

Dave — Sat, 29 May 2010 19:03:26 +0000

Summary: Create a full website redesign to build off of the Saint Clare Health System’s rebranding and refocusing. A new brand was developed, built around a sky blue color scheme and the phrase “Turning Promise into Practice”. The website relied heavily on that sky blue aesthetic, and brought in a triadic color scheme for emphasis elements. The new design had to be clear, professional and a lot more usable than their previous design, and reinforce the new focus of turning promise into practice for their patients.

The future of “Print”?

Dave — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 14:33:58 +0000

Wow. Talk about deep content. This little visualization of what Sports Illustrated could turn into on is completely “Game ON!” (sorry, had to do it) This is exactly the type of thing that has so many people excited about the prospect of some sort of Apple “Tablet”. Really nice work Time, Inc. and WonderFactory!

But I tell you this… to create a magazine like this would be no small endeavor. To have content that runs this deep would require a whole lot of people working real hard, probably around the clock. But imagine if Wired magazine were like this? Or how about US News and World Report? Or maybe online news magazines? Like the Huffington Post?

Acura – Dealer Association Website

Dave — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 18:15:29 +0000

Summary: Under a tight deadline and budget, create a portal website for the regional Acura trade association to efficiently educate users about current promotions and direct them to their closest local dealer website. Additionally we were tasked to build the site to allow for quick and efficient monthly updates. The HTML was generated in such a way as to only require a single image and text file change for each model. Efficient and effective.

Ritz-Carlton – The Residences Philadelphia

Dave — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 18:40:25 +0000

Summary: Create a modern and compelling web experience for prospective buyers and solid, accessible tools for staff to make updates to news and events pages. Dramatized a mix of classical and contemporary imagery via a primarily flash website for a sleek and modern feel, while maintaining visual references to established markers of the Ritz Carlton style.

Build a targeted, accessible CMS for updates to News and Events. We worked with a third-party vendor (O3World) to build an HTML and XML based CMS so updates to most of the site could be made by Ritz-Carlton staff or by Agency staff, without flash knowledge.

Some notable features we implemented are the ability to add video and audio to the press release section, the ability to view and download a complete list of contacts made through the contact form, a special promo spot for deep linking within the website, and the ability to create non-flash pages for direct linking and improved SEO results.
