www.coweninstitute.com – design & development

Tulane University’s Cowen Institute for Public Education Initiatives contacted us shortly after opening their doors. We work with them on a variety of on and offline programs. Their second-generation website is WordPress based, and incorporates brand guidelines and iconography developed by Trumpet.  We also designed and provided Cowen Institute staff with a branded Campaign Monitor template for their e-News program.

We do ongoing development work on behalf of Lakeside Camera Photoworks, an innovative local camera, prints and imaging provider.  We assist them with planning, domain management, consolidating content management systems, refreshing site and newsletter design systems, 3rd party systems integration, and secondary site development.

We recently launched an updated e-commerce site for Lakeside, integrating with a variety of 3rd party fulfillment and customization systems.

Vimeo – video management

Vimeo is our online video manager of choice. Elegant interface, less obtrusive branding, and better compression. Yum.  And if you rearrange the letters, it spells “movie”.  Even better.  YouTube for the creative class.

supportdetails.com – tech support anger management

Absolutely love Support Details from Imulus.  This site allows clients to painlessly submit a profile of their computer configuration to us via email.  Gives us the means to identify our clients’ browser versions, plug-ins, display dimensions, etc – extremely helpful for the QA process.

therubyslippercafe.net

Wow, we love The Ruby Slipper – great menu, good coffee drinks, and a really nice atmosphere – a wonderfully renovated Mid-city gem.

We recently developed an interactive CD for Tulane’s School of Social Work. Intended primarily for recruiting purposes, it features an attractive, kiosk-style multimedia viewer. It was created using Adobe Flash, then exported as standalone players for both Windows and Mac. This production method allowed us to easily include custom branding, layout and page transitions that would easily translate across multiple software platforms. We handled design, development and production of 1000 pieces delivered to Tulane.

willie mae’s scotch house

Whoa.  We hit Willie Mae’s this past Friday, and all left sat-is-fied.  What a unique and awesome place.  Places like this make New Orleans New Orleans.  Willie Mae’s great granddaughter is in the kitchen, and it’s cash only and one of a kind.  Be prepared for a post-meal fried food coma.

A colleague of ours was involved in the production of a terrific video about Willie Mae’s journey back after Katrina – take a look!

www.globalgreen.org – design & development

National advocacy org Global Green has been a force for positive change in post-Katrina New Orleans and around the world. We designed and developed their main website, also building a custom private label content/multimedia manager.  We’ve also designed and developed Flash elements, WordPress-based blogs, and a dynamic solar energy calculator for Global Green’s  Green Urbanism group.  We continue to work with their Los Angeles communications team frequently.

www.unarch.com – flash development

We worked with Mississippi-based Unabridged Architecture to develop this Flash website. Using design files provided by their graphic designer, we added smooth interactions to create a visually compelling and unique experience. All of the animation was programmed with Actionscript, and it was created using multiple Flash files loaded in on demand, to make it fast and lean.

mfin.tulane.edu – flash intro design & development

We created a number of Flash promotional online tours, including this one for Tulane’s Freeman School of Business. This interactive slide show is set on a timer, which will guide the visitor through the slides. The slide show will continue to play until the visitor clicks on a navigation button, allowing them to go at their own pace. All of the animation and dynamic interaction for this piece was programmed with Actionscript.
