Logorama II: The Corporate Compatriot

So one of the people I work with is graduating college with an engineering degree and he asked me to do the graphic design stuff promoting the product he built for his final presentation. It is some kind of water filtration system/energy generator/super robot that can do your homework for you/frozen yogurt machine. ....Okay, maybe not the last two, but it'd be really cool. Nevertheless, this guy is crazy smart when it comes to this stuff. When he was explaining to me how it worked, I felt like a third grader trying to grasp trigonometry.

Anyway, this third grader came up with a number of professional "corporate" type logos for his fake company "Engineering Enterprise". Now that one is chosen, I will make a brochure and pamphlet for him to print and bunch of times and give out as companions to his presentation.

Since being environmentally friendly is heavily emphasized in the literature he provided me, I figured a leaf would be appropriate. Slightly cliche, but very effective. He had an idea of making the first E into a waterfall... but I couldn't think of a way that didn't look tacky or over the top. I added some waves but in the end he agreed with me that "less is more" and let the blue color suffice as representing the "water" aspect of the product.

Web Madness 3.5: More Mines, More Clouds

Here's some more to the Cloudmine Website. There's a cool dropdown menu that looks like rain and below that you see what the "Meet the Team" page would look like. I do envision every page title written vertically and justified to the left side of the page. Also, JUST WHO IS THAT HANDSOME MAN IN THE DESCRIPTION?

Why it's Cousin Marc! What're you doing on Earth? Doing back-end programming and development? We have no idea what you're talking about.

Web Madness 3: The Mine in the Clouds

So here's my third website. This is my cousin's start-up company in Philly, called Cloudmine. Still not quite sure EXACTLY what they do, but it has to do with using the new cloud technology that seems to be surfacing everywhere. If you want to know more, hit up their website: www.cloudmine.me

Anyway, the site on there looks pretty cool. Great color choice... but the information is kind of everywhere. My main objective is to create an appealing design with an easy to use UI. Unlike my other two designs, I'm going to take this a little further past just making the main page. Now that the basic design is done, I'm going to go back and design the menus and work out some of the user interactions. So there will be more "screenshots" of the site in the coming week or so that will show different pages and menus while maintaining page continuity.

So here's the basic re-design:
















I also had an idea that would involve the site detecting the user's computer time settings and location. If the user is looking at the site after sundown in his or her area, the site will look like this:

Oooooh. Cloudmine.... After Dark!
