Richard­son Draft­ing and Design

Richard­son Draft­ing and Design is a full ser­vice draft­ing and design com­pany with an empha­sis on green build­ing. They had descrip­tions of their ser­vices at third party web­sites all over the Inter­net but what they lacked was one place clients could visit. We built them a straight­for­ward design that high­lighted the gal­leries of images pro­vided by the client.

  • Client: Jeff Richardson
  • Date: March 2010
  • Ser­vices: Word­press instal­la­tion; tem­plate instal­la­tion and cus­tomiza­tion; con­tent upload­ing; admin­is­tra­tion assistance.

SPIRT of PA

SPIRT of PA is an eight year old para­nor­mal inves­ti­ga­tions group located in Philadel­phia, Penn­syl­va­nia. In a crowded field of often embarass­ing
sites, Mark decided to make some­thing clean, sim­ple, and easy to use.

  • Client: Rebecca Lynch
  • Date: Sep­tem­ber 2009
  • Ser­vices: Tem­plates and color scheme; logo color mod­i­fi­ca­tion; Word­press instal­la­tion; admin­is­tra­tion assistance.

Motor­cy­cles Music & Charity

The PDX Road­run­ners (Port­land, OR) asked us to make a flyer for a day and night of music and food to ben­e­fit the Bradley-Angle House, a local woman’s shelter.

Con­fronted with a slew of images of bands and spon­sors, Cindi pulled the dis­parate design ele­ments together around the cen­tral con­ceit of the spokes of a motor­cyle wheel.

  • Client: Jeff Richardson
  • Date: May 2008
  • Ser­vices: Flier con­cept and fin­ished design.

Sub­ver­sive Zone

For their sec­ond incar­na­tion the orga­niz­ers of Port­land, Oregon’s Sub­ver­sive Zone became more seri­ous about mar­ket­ing their night of exper­i­men­tal music, and Myspace was a key place to be for Portland’s inde­pen­dent music scene.

Unfor­tu­nately Myspace “design” circa 2008 was a mis­ery of noisy, loud third-party tem­plates or a bor­ing stan­dard default blue. Work­ing with their exist­ing flier design Mark and Cindi adapted the flier’s col­ors and logo, clear­ing out Myspace cruft and result­ing in a cleaner, hap­pier design.

  • Client: Don Lang
  • Date: Spring 2008
  • Ser­vices: Myspace code mod­i­fi­ca­tion; copywriting.

Animalrights.net now uses a dif­fer­ent design.

Animalrights.net

Brian Car­nell built Animalrights.net to be the pre­miere web site for infor­ma­tion and dis­cus­sion crit­i­cal of the ani­mal rights move­ment. Using Macrobyte’s Con­ver­sant inter­net group­ware we built a design that improved brows­ing the large arti­cle data­base. The home­page became a win­dow into the entire site, while cus­tomized search results exposed related topics.

  • Client: Brian Carnell
  • Date: Sep­tem­ber 2004
  • Ser­vices: HTML and CSS tem­plate devel­op­ment; CMS (Mac­robyte Con­ver­sant) imple­men­ta­tion; infor­ma­tion architecture.

Sus­pended by Hooks

For death metal band Sus­pended by Hooks, Mark used clas­sic metal design con­cepts and future-facing code to make a site that was easy to admin­is­ter and a plea­sure for fans to visit.

  • Client: Matthew Schulte
  • Date: August 2003
  • Ser­vices: HTML and CSS tem­plate devel­op­ment; CMS (Mac­robyte Con­ver­sant) imple­men­ta­tion; infor­ma­tion archi­tec­ture; site hosting.
