Bayou Teche Brewing

Daniel — Wed, 12 May 2010 16:02:08 +0000

I just recently launched a project that I have been working on for Bayou Teche Brewing. This is 1 of only 3 breweries in Louisina and they are definitely set apart from the competition. The Knott Brother’s set out to create a beer that pairs with local cuisine, not an easy task I might say due to the fried, greasy, delicious nature of our dishes. Their goal was to create a beer that was unique to this area and was great for pairing with countless foods and lifestyles. I tried to translate what is in the bottle to the web with their site.

For the project I sat down with them and developed a concept that was heavy image driven and a strong emphasis on brand recognition. The goal was to develop a design that harkened to the characteristics of their beer as a golden pale ale with “hoppy” overtones. I presented a concept board (click here to view) to begin the project and knew that we would need some fantastic imagery to carry the site. We worked with Jamie Orillion Photography & Design to capture some amazing imagery of their beer, the brewery, and the brothers themselves. Check out more of his work here. I collaborated with Jamie on design and the site really shows a strong connection to their beer.

Below you will see my initial concept board as well as well as the final design and some of the imagery from Jamie. You can check out the site at www.bayoutechebrewing.com and can find their beer in a store near you here with our store locator feature.

Johnnie Gachassin came to us to design a web presence and ended up doing a complete branding package. She was a joy to work with and I wish I had 10 more clients like her. You can visit her site here: http://www.lafayettetraumatherapy.com.

The Pontifical North American College

We recently completed our first international client project for the Pontifical North American College located in Vatican City. The seminary college is charged with training and preparing the next generation of Roman Catholic priest’s and religious and stands in the shadow of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The site had been maintained for many years internally by individual seminarians while studying at the NAC. It had become very disjointed and the goal was to unify the various sections under one common design. We worked closely with the students to create a design that is traditional, strong, yet still fresh and modern.

Welcome to the NEW Crucé!

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.

Design

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.

AcadianaEats.com is the MOST comphrensive list of restaurants in Acadiana with over 150 different listings. The site is a custom job with full CMS & database backend. The project was a joint venture with JOPD and was great because we love finding new places to eat!

Jamie’s site was a custom redesign of his previous portfolio and blog. The goal was to present his new identity as well as add a brand new online store.

Kelly Pease

This site is for artist/songwriter Kelly Pease. She is fun, energetic, and vibrant so we tried to give her a site that reflected her look and feel. The site includes a shopping cart, links to social sites, and a calendar for all of her upcoming shows.

Fire Rules

This site is for a youth outreach group in Alexandria. The program uses music and some big personalities to bring kids into the night so the site needed the same direction.

Spontaneous Photo

Creator Jamie Orillion wanted to challenge people to creatively work within limitations to bring about creative inspiration. We designed the site to showcase the user submitted pictures as well as a custom iPhone interface to accompany the site

Rayne Catholic Elementary

Rayne Catholic Elementary’s website needed to be a quick outlet for parents to find more information about the school as well as keep informed on upcoming events.
