Artletic

Teaser Video

In order to demonstrate how this app would fit into the user’s daily life. We created a short teaser video. This video was also used to promote the launch of the app.

Curate Your Visit

Search for the perfect cup of coffee or crafted brew, create a day of shopping & sipping, or find great late-night grub. Curated was made for those who want to explore the rad, crafty, and creative side of the city. Pick and choose from 10-15 locations in each category. It’s easy to find the popular attractions or chain restaurants (*cough-Yelp-cough*), but Curated helps you find the hidden spots that locals love.

Branding & Logo

Plotting the favorite spots around town is the concept. A repurposed “map pin” just works as the logo.

AIGA Collaboration

We collaborated during the entire concept, design, and development phase with our friends at AIGA Colorado. This partnersip opened up a network of awesome designers that took on the role of curating the local hot spots.

Custom CMS

As the concept implies, Curated is an ongoing effort to stay fresh and relevant. This requires the ability to manage locations, add curators, neighborhoods, and more. We designed and developed a simple custom CMS to allow for these capabilities.

Share Content

Possibly the most innovative feature, readers can select a piece of content to share with a link via Twitter, email, or any other means they like. People that don’t own the book can follow that link and read the paragraph from which the selection was made, making troubleshooting or referencing solutions much easier.

Clean Reading Environment

Being that LiveBook is for books, the feel and clarity of the reading environment was a high priority. We worked hard to make the supporting elements (header, comments, etc.) take up as little visual space as possible while still maintaining legibility.

Interaction and Commenting

You can learn a lot from interacting with book authors and other readers. Keeping readers engaged with the content and discussion alike resulted in a true learning environment.

A bold, but family-friendly bike shop

One of the big goals for this site was to keep their elite cycling reputation while making the customer experience welcoming for the average rider.

Responsive

Being a retail shop, we knew that providing an on-the-go version of the site would be important for mobile customers.

Blurred Backgrounds

Creating an immersive experience without listing and showing every one of the hundreds of products they sell was a challenge. One of the ways we accomplished this was by selecting excellent photography (from local photographers as well as those provided by the brands they carry) and letting it bleed off the edge of the screen.

Statamic CMS

Though this site is limited in size, there was still a need to be able to manage content, add events, blog entries, and more. We integrated a simple flat-file CMS, Statamic, to allow for those capabilities.
