			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;hoppy&#8221; overtones.  I presented a concept board (<a href="http://crucedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/webBayouTecheBiere09_Concepts_01.pdf">click here to view</a>) to begin the project and knew that we would need some fantastic imagery to carry the site. We worked with <a href="http://www.jamieorillion.com">Jamie Orillion Photography &amp; Design</a> to capture some amazing imagery of their beer, the brewery, and the brothers themselves. Check out more of his work <a href="http://jamieorillion.com/2010/05/11/bayou-teche-brewing/">here</a>. I collaborated with Jamie on design and the site really shows a strong connection to their beer.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.bayoutechebrewing.com" target="_blank">www.bayoutechebrewing.com</a> and can find their beer in a store near you <a href="http://bayoutechebrewing.com/about-us/retailers-distributors/" target="_blank">here</a> with our store locator feature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://crucedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Screen-shot-2009-09-24-at-1.01.55-PM.png" rel="shadowbox[sbpost-466];player=img;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-469" title="Screen shot 2009-09-24 at 1.01.55 PM" src="http://crucedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Screen-shot-2009-09-24-at-1.01.55-PM-233x251.png" alt="Screen shot 2009-09-24 at 1.01.55 PM" width="233" height="251" /></a>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 &#8220;spruce&#8221; it up. We did a complete brand overhaul. New logos, colors, vision, etc!</p>
<p>The new vision of Crucé is centered more around the idea that &#8220;we&#8221; 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.</p>
<h3>Design</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-471" title="cruce-logo" src="http://crucedesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/cruce-logo.png" alt="cruce-logo" width="700" height="433" /></p>
<p>Logo: Our new logo, crafted in vision by the <a href="/about">collaborators </a>and illustrated by <a href="http://bahbahstudio.com" target="_blank">Black Sheep Studio</a> 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.</p>
