Over the next few weeks I will be in and out of the office for a couple family vacations and some on location client projects. My good friend and collaborator Jamie Orillion did a blog post a few months back about running your business from your phone. I thought it could be helpful to do a [...]
There is tons of buzz in the web business right now about social media. I have clients calling me about new websites asking about social media every week. They all want to have a “social media presence” on the internet. Most of them have no idea why, they just want to be on Twitter and [...]
As we noted last week with the launch of WordPress there are a few simple little interface tweaks that make it lighter and faster. We are now offering with all new projects free 30 day access to our extensive video training series (see screenshot below). The video library is kept updated automatically when versions or [...]
Well it has been about a year since we had a site redesign so we decided to dust off the site and spruce it up. I guess I should say that we did more than “spruce” it up. We did a complete brand overhaul. New logos, colors, vision, etc!
The new vision of Crucé is centered more around the idea that “we” are a group of designers, developers, writers, and yes, geeks, that care deeply about the connection or cross between communication and design. Our goal is to provide our clients with a unified perspective about their web and graphic marketing to help speak their message to the masses.
Website: With a new focus on web development as well as print and graphic design, we wanted to launch a site that gave users bigger pictures of our work. We also added the feature of a blog to help clients get a better picture of the skills and philosophy that drives our business.
Logo: Our new logo, crafted in vision by the collaborators and illustrated by Black Sheep Studio is actually the face of owner and lead geek Daniel Kedinger. We wanted people to feel a connection with the business, to feel you know us before you ever meet us. The hair and glasses strives to impress upon our clients that we are trendy geeks.
Christina & Jordan were a great couple and were looking to do something interesting for the wedding invitations. They had a very particular fleur de lis that they wanted to use and a set of strong colors to incorporate into the design. It was great working with them!
We designed an identity package for a new school inVirginia. The logo concept was to image a window found in home built by St. Thomas. The package also included a full color brochures.
Trey and Lindsay were looking for something different for thier wedding and came to us to create something more personal. We went with a very simple and clean design. 
Create Magazine came to us again in spring of 2007 to design the feature spread. This article was focused on film and the expanding nature of the media. 
The Office of Seminarians publishes a yearly poster of all the men studying for the Roman Catholic Priesthood. The goal of this poster was to be a bit more edgy than a standard poster while encouraging young men to consider the priesthood.
This is a spread for the Spring 2006 issue of Create Magazine. The magazine is nationally printed with local editions for different regions. We designed the spread for the Capital Region (Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland) edition.
