Our Services
Our services include: branding, identity development & graphic design; web site development & consultation on web applications & services; digital video production & distribution. We also provide media literacy and educational technology integration services through The Media Spot.
We get to know our clients. We'll learn your vision, goals, and resources, and provide the solutions that work best for you.
We empower our clients. We'll pass on as much of our experience as possible, give you as much control over the finished product as you'd like, and provide the long-term support to back it all up.
We make it last. Rather than chasing the latest trends, we advocate mature & proven technologies that are forward-thinking and backwards-compatible.
Branding & Graphic Design
We can help you create an entirely new brand identity, or adapt your existing assets for new media.
We design logos and accompanying graphics, develop color palettes and select fonts to convey your identity. These brand elements become the visual cornerstone for your web site and online media, videos, business cards, letterhead, and other print media.
Our designs originate from you. Our process begins with a conversation about who you are, your goals and target audiences, and the aesthetic you're after.
Internet Development
We write standards-based code to ensure that our sites are flexible, accessible, and optimized for search engines. We build on Free and Open Source platforms to avoid licensing costs and vendor lock-in, promote and participate in our expanding free culture. In a word: we build gorgeous web sites.
Starting from scratch? We'll help you pick the best tools for the job, then work with you to establish your online presence and start building your online community. Your site can be based on your existing branding or you can use our graphic design services.
Need an upgrade? We'll perform an audit of your current site for user experience, accessibility and search engine optimization, or enhance your site with a blog, content management system, ecommerce, or streaming media.
Need something specific? We'll integrate a forum, wiki, or 3rd-party service into your site, or consult with you so you can maintain your own site.
Video Production
We can produce your music video, a documentary for your cause, a promotional video for your product or organization, or an educational video for your classroom.
We put our training and experience in production, aesthetics, film theory and media literacy to work for you. We frame our subjects with an eye for composition, and an understanding of what is needed in the editing room to make your story come to life for your specific audience.
We prefer a "guerrilla-style" approach to video production, involving broadcast-quality digital video cameras, lightweight equipment, and small crews. This allows us to navigate and capture events, scenes and settings from within your environment -- picking up "authentic" moments, or staging scenes within natural settings.
We edit with Final Cut Pro and output to a variety of formats including MPEG, DV and DVD, and we can work with you to distribute and exhibit your video to web, home and live audiences wherever they are.
