How does running on a treadmill at a 15 degree incline for ten minutes sound? Yeah, we thought so.
A designer’s worst nightmare
Heehee. A London agency has created the funniest of all bookmarklets. Happpy It is a tool that lets you commit the ultimate design sin on any website you like: turn it into Comic Sans.
Why your website isn’t about you
I know. It sounds nonsensical. But bear with me. Your hardest working employee, also known as your website, really isn’t about you.
Joining the super nerd club
It seemed like it only was a week ago when I started this job but time sure has flown! It’s already been six weeks! So as a newbie girl here, this is my first contribution to the Orion Creative blog.
Need a new logo? Orion can do that.
We understand that a new logo can seem daunting, as the logo for your business typically appears across your website, uniforms, marketing communications and on all your sales collateral. So, at Orion, we work with you to make the process simple, from design through to implementation. Here’s how we did just that for Electra-Loom.
Is website content as important as design?
Mother’s are always right, aren’t they? Growing up, my mum frequently used to tell me: “It’s not what you say. It’s how you say it.” When we start the process of building or redesigning a site at Orion, our holistic view is based on a belief in the importance of that proven adage.
When it comes to websites, what you say – in this case being the design of your site, and how you say it – the copy/content and functionality, play equal parts in the success, or otherwise, of your website.
This website is sure to get you moving
The good folks at Hills Professional Removals and Storage approached Orion Creative to come up with a website that looks good, is functional and represents their professional service.
Getting a little burlesque
At Orion, we’re totally down for doing work when it comes to helping others, and when it’s for a great cause. Our most recent work was for the Philippine Australian Medical Association (PAMA), an association of doctors, surgeons and health specialists that undertake Medical Missions to the Philippines annually. It is here where Australian and Filipino doctors educate the local community and serve patients by undertaking major surgeries including cleft lip and palate repairs, burn reconstructions, down to the very basics of health education to the local community and providing a free toothbrush.
We are creating new and exciting problems
I know that it sounds a little bit like a weird title, but it is true.
As we are getting better and progressing with the ever evolving web design and development universe, we are creating a richer user experience and more interesting elements within our designs and development processes. Problem is, we are also creating more problems.
Girl Guides YouTube campaign
This video was part of a motion graphics campaign we just launched for Girl Guides Australia. It was one of those fun projects we wish we’d just had more time to work on, it included a two minute YouTube video, which directed people to a special landing page where they could download a PDF resource.
