design

general design

Although we firmly believe in a "form follows function" approach to the challenge of effectively communicating important information, we also strive to balance functionality with visual and tactile/interactive aesthetics to create a pleasing and memorable user experience.

Our projects have included annual reports, brochures, print ads, packaging, web sites and intranets, electronic presentation backgrounds, trade show graphics and multimedia interfaces for everything from lighthearted online toys to extremely complex, culturally-neutral web sites for global corporations.

case study

Before & After Case Study: ACS Adworks

ACS Adworks was preparing to show a just-finished web-based app to its clients (left-hand images). The piece was stable and richly functional thanks to a group of talented engineers who were very good at writing complex software (but not quite as good at designing interfaces).

3DESiGN created a new look and feel consistent with the client's brand identity, a login page design (which included a subtle but very engaging Flash animation) and an interior page design with carefully defined areas for all of the system's tools. We also helped rewrite all of the prompts and overviews for consistency and clarity.



web design

The web is quickly becoming the most prevalent form of business communication on the planet. Unfortunately, it has become a monument to poor design and frustrated users.

Our web development work is driven by our appreciation of the "experiential" effect (ask us) and a solid foundation of page design theory and practices.

Of paramount importance is clear, interactive navigation and thoughtful organization of content. The end result is the ability of your visitors to find the information they need, enabling you to spend less time answering questions and more time doing business.

And that's what effective business communication is all about.

We're also very big on giving our clients the ability to update their own sites as needed. That's why we implement many of our sites with an Adobe Contribute component, which we can set up and train your staff to use.

Whether you need an old site redesigned, a new site created or just need help making your current site do more of what you want it to do, we'd love to hear from you.
