Chicago suddenly becomes the center of the universe as Barack Obama is elected the 44th president of the United States. Almost the entire office attended the rally downtown and participated in the making of history. This is what happens when the president comes from your city: my dentist is Obama's dentist, our friend and colleague Sol designed the now infamous "O" logo, a friend of ours did Joe Biden's teleprompting, another friend built the bulletproof lecturn for the Grant Park rally, and the new Chief of Staff gets a beer where I do a couple times a week, the humble Long Room on Irving Park Rd. Cheers!
We built a new global website for Caterpillar Footwear and it launched in late August. Using photographic source material from their campaigns, we designed things, animated things and programmed accessible, standards-compliant CSS. We were responsible for everything but the shop programming and subsequent database.
In September we launched a new site for Parisian company Lés Télécreateurs, an exceptional group of international directors specializing in music videos, short films,
and commercials. They even are responsible for a new Mogwai video - which happens to be one of my favorite bands of all time. The site was modeled on the structure of a news site and features an ever changing homepage, top 10 lists, and a big fat custom CMS on the backend for easy client-updating.
Someoddpilot's Chris Eichenseer has a solo art exhibition at the new Threadless gallery space (3011 N. Broadway, Chicago) opening Friday May 2nd. He will be showing new photography work. The opening on Friday is 7 to 9pm, and the show will be up through May 18th.
If you haven't had the chance to check it out, it's a great space with interesting design commuinity shows - Chuck Anderson was there in December and Electric Heat was just there in January.
