And they’re off!
February 17, 2006
A new round of Silverpoint sites have hit the ground running, so I thought I’d let everyone see what I’ve been spending my time on recently.
The site for Presidential Classroom is one I’m particularly proud of. With Landon Durnan producing, Silverpoint created true gestalt as our small changes (a new front page and new graphics for existing inside pages) amounted to an entirely new aesthetic for the organization. PC was particularly near-and-dear to my heart as an ardent fan of the West Wing, being particularly thrilled that a site I designed is linked to on the West Wing Episode Guide.
Fellow Silverpoint designer Phoebe Barger and myself designed the site for the National Presbyterian School. With Tom Schisler as the producer, we created one of Silverpoint’s most advanced implementations under-the-hood yet. A great existing identity system helped guide the way in designing this complex, yet simply-designed site.
St. Mary’s was a great school to design for, with amazing resources at our disposal. The site, designed by Dave Bedingfield and myself, and produced by Clint Sommer, is a great fit for this well-respected girls school in Memphis, Tennessee.
And a blast from the past—despite launching several months ago, I never mentioned Porter-Gaud, a site I designed along with Dave Bedingfield. The site, produced by Corbin Bentley, was the first of my work at Silverpoint to launch since beginning my career with them in April 2005. It’s a great, amazingly comprehensive site, with a design that belies the complexity underneath. Maybe the most fun though was knowing I was designing for Stephen Colbert’s alma mater, as well as because they’re in Charleston, it allowed me several months of reminiscing about my time spent in the lowcountry.
So what am I up to now? We’re incredibly busy with a host of school projects, plus one secret item that’ll hopefully be coming to an RSS feed near you soon. Stay tuned.
