Our design company website is finally up and running. This has been a long time coming and it only happened through countless hours of hard work from every member of our team. Check it out! Visit: ECDesignCo.com
Like we said before, we’ve been working on a big project. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at last weekend’s work session.
We work hard too. We’ve been really busy working on restructuring the way our company speaks about itself. The most exciting thing about this process is that it really brings all of our talents together in a way like never before. Also, a lot of Portfolio Center model-making flashbacks have come about recently. More to come soon…
A new portal for our design, illustration, photo, & web services is coming soon to ECDesignCo.com or as we like to call it, EC/DC. Stay tuned!
Wow! This commercial HAS to win awards this year! Very creative!
A few thoughts:
1) This commercial is airing during the World Cup, but Dodge isn’t an official Team USA sponsor, so there’s really no connection between the two. It’s relevance is because of it’s ability to drum-up feelings of patriotism at the right time. Great job at that.
2) This might be the first time that a car commercial actually makes me want to make that purchase.
3) I’m really bummed out that there’s not a microsite with downloadable wallpapers, videos, and interactive content.
We just wrapped the design and development of this website for our good friends Matt and Lauren Milling; owners of a vintage vessel that sails in Hilton Head called Schooner Welcome. Matt and Lauren wanted their new website to provide an engulfing example of what one might see if upon setting sail in their unique schooner. We reinvented their previous 4-page website into more than just a ticket selling portal. Of course, selling tickets is still a primary focus of their new website, but everyone is in agreement that Joe Martinez‘ photography does an amazing job selling the high-seas adventures awaiting you!

Pop the bubbly! We just wrapped up a web design + web development project that we’re very proud of. NY-based events & experience-marketing specialists, MeanRed Productions, enlisted us to give their website a complete overhaul. Check it out here and leave a comment with your thoughts.
Check out the newly re-launched PlywoodPeople.com website designed by Epidemik Coalition. They wanted a website that allowed them to tell their intriguing stories (via a user-updated blog) and more importantly, to sell the goods created by the people in the stories. We created a structure that allowed them to customize the site and determine where different types of information will go. Check out their site, and revisit it often, as the content changes and evolves rapidly! While you’re visiting, pick up some fair trade goods for the holidays!
Check out the newest addition to the EC portfolio, an online photography portfolio for our cohort, Jorge Menes. Once again, we employed a proprietary navigation platform that we developed especially for designers and photographers who want to showcase their work seamlessly in full-screen. Visit jorgemenes.com
This week marked the end of a great project we did for FINN Jewelry here in New York.
EC was part of a great team assembled to give this hip jewelry company a fresh identity and new web digs.
I just wrapped development on the FINN Jewelry website. Checkout their beautiful products! The website includes some fun interactive elements that show the spirit of FINN’s creators, Soraya Silchenstedt and Candice Pool. Photography is by Alexi Lubomirski, photographer from Future Digital, another EC branding and web project. Design by Epidemik Coalition and Black Rose NYC.
Today, the StandardATL.com website relaunched with simplified navigation and the Listen Up section that I’ve been contributing to now occupies some prime real estate on the site. Bookmark the page and head over to the site often to not only find out about great gear to wear, but to stay up on music issues myself and the rest of the crew find interesting. And as always, leave comments!
Ted and I recently added finishing tweaks and updates to Jamie Hopper’s photography portfolio site, JamieHopper.com. Head over there to check out the new interface, as well as a bunch of new Fashion and Editorial shots by one of our favorite local photographers.
ATL’s best interior design company, Habachy Designs, came to Epidemik Coalition needing a new website. After a few meetings at their downtown Atlanta office, which has an amazing view of the city, we quickly had wireframes and site-structure in hand. It was only a matter of days to implement everything and get it live. It was a pleasure working with Michael and Evan on this project and we’re looking forward to future EC/Habachy collaborations.
We just finished redesigning the Fugees Family website. Their unique story has been featured on CNN, The New York Times, NPR, and Sports Illustrated. I can’t say enough for the organization and what they do for refugee families. Head over to fugeesfamily.org to find out more. It was a pleasure to work with Luma Mufleh and the rest of the Fugees Family organization on this project. Head over to their new site, and donate if you’re down with the cause.
A while back, I mentioned this project as we had just completed designing the mark for Yaari.com’s rebrand. Since this project was deeply a social-networking site with lots of bulk, EC was challenged with making hierarchical decisions on content as well as coding the CSS for the newly relaunched Yaari.com. After handing over our comps, we’ve been anxious to see the results over the past few months. It’s great to see our work come to life. That’ll never get old.
There are a few new websites we’ve recently completed that are about to launch very soon. Stay tuned for updates!
Son & Sons, the creative agency of Wade Thompson in New York, came to me the other week in anticipation of their new site launch. Wade needed help with creating an interactive splash page embodying the attitude of Son & Sons: thoughtful, fun, and innovative.
Using solely my voice in a C-Major chord with an added sixth (C-E-G-A), I brought life to the landscape of ‘refrigerator magnets’ spelling out the Son & Sons mantra. Spell your own and listen to your creation!
For the new year 2009, Future Digital LLC’s website just went live. Epidemik Coalition designed and developed the site for this boutique fashion photography company based in New York City.
This wraps-up the branding project started in the fall which included other elements such as business cards, custom silk-screened DVDs, laser-cut stencils, and more.
Can’t wait to see what 2009 has in-store for these folks!
Friend of EC and Atlanta-based designer Mick Bailey recently launched his very own online magazine called Commuter Culture Magazine. I caught wind of this school-project-turned-online-masterpiece last month and have been checking it regularly since.
Mick describes the vision behind the online magazine as showcasing people and communities have a unique way of doing what we all deal with everyday: commuting. Whether that manifests itself in reporting on a customized surfer van, a world-class bicycle culture, or a story about national ridership trends on rail lines, this site covers real info. Aside from sporting a great visual design, the attitude and content of the online magazine is both unique for Atlanta and very topical in this woeful post-2008 America. Quality-over-quantity rules here, as each post is written as an article with carefully gathered or custom-designed imagery.
I’m interested to see where this haven for a good attitude towards commuting goes!
