packaging1=JEFFREY M. TAYLOR Happy Hour Soundtrack Jeffrey requested that this package had a very urban New York City vibe. The inside plays on various themes of New York bars, which is central to the movie. packaging2=FAITH RIVERA Suncatcher Faith came to us with the idea of a very colorful and mystic type of CD package. Faith's music is new thought positive music, so that had to be reflected in the packaging. Furthermore. she had a painting that was commissioned for the cover, so starting with that as inspiration we started on the design concept. The final design, plays on the 'Sun' theme, by illustrating the sun in different settings. packaging3=ANI One This CD's central theme is that of one spirit that exists, with different religions calling it different things. The cover plays on that theme by using symbols from various religions encircling the "1." packaging4=BILLY VALENTINE Travelin' Light This Jazz Standards album is a contemporary, while still maintaining an earthy spirit. packaging5=SPENCER WRIGHT Sample Reel This film composer wanted something moody, edgy, and dramatic, but still true to classical roots of his music. packaging6=ED VODICKA Amazing Grace Ed came to us looking for a cd package that was religious, but not of a specific faith.The songs on the record are traditionalchurch songs, but the packaging couldn't be too "churchy." packaging7=ED VODICKA Tapestry Rewoven Playing on the cover of the album Tapestry by Carole King, this tribute album plays on the idea by reworking the original with a new look and feel adding a piano instead of Carole. packaging8=HAPPY HOUR Promotional DVD Promotional DVD sent out to festivals and theatres for securing distribution. packaging9=ED VODICKA Elton John's Greatest Hits vol.1 This package uses the famous top hat and glasses as the basis for the cover art. packaging10=JAMES LENT Classical on Fire This design plays on the title by using flaming keys on the piano. packaging11=GIA CIAMBOTTI Right as Rain Gia's original music on her CD "Right As Rain" inspired us to explore a moody storybook feel to her CD Package. Mixing imagery and imagination, the dreamy quality to the visual content is a perfect compliment to the raw soulful truth in her music.

Here are a few resources we found helpful in understanding the design process and to better educate you in some of the technical aspects of design, as well as to help you better crystalize your vision of what you want and communicate it better to any designer you work with.

web1=TALENT ZOO Talent Zoo is a headhunting company with job information for creative service personnel. They came to us for a redesign because their initial site was cluttered and had no sense of heirarchy. They wanted a simple clean corporate feel for the most of their site, with the exception of the lounge page, which has a retro "skin" on the initial interface to keep consistency with the site and their brand. web2=COSTUME KINGDOM This online costume retailer wanted to set itself apart from the competition, most of whom have very corporate looking sites. The site emphasizes its position as a "Halloween" costume store, while not using black, orange, and pumpkins to convey its point. web3=KLM CREATIVE KLM needed an identity in addition to a website. The KLM, stands for "Kings and Little Men" which refers to a hand in high stakes poker. Since they are in the Video production field, it had to be dramatic. We came up with a virtual poker game in which the user feels like they're sitting at a card table, and the user can pick cards to view with info on them. web4=ELITE SIGNS AND GRAPHICS Elite needed a simple clean professional site, as they do custom signs. This site is enhanced by a Flash nav bar. web5=LOVE YOUR LIFE SEMINARS We implemented a very idyllic brand for Love Your Life Seminars to go along with their founder's book "Love Your Life and It Will Love You Back"This site has a very light and bright feel to emphasize the positive message. web6=BRETT EPSTEIN: SONGWRITER Brett came to us to rework his whole identity. He wanted a bit ofmystery, but deflnitely had to say "pop-song writer." We also implemented a system for Brett to change content on his own, as well as add songs and video to his extras page. We finished the site with a blog to increase page count and have a personal section to share stories. web7=TEKPRODIGY TekProdigy needed a new brand established. We came up with a very techno steel type logo, and translated that over to the website with the brushed metal interface. web8=CITY ART INC The squares of the City Art brand carry through this website for their events and publishing divisions. This project required a hi-end very polished look to appeal to their clientele. web9=GNAH STUDIOS GNAH Studios enlisted stuartsilversteindesign to develop its static design into Flash. The combined efforts resulted in a slick but simple website. web10=BILL CHURCHVILLE Bill came to us to tap into the eclectic feel of some of his favorite things and compiled a variety of design elements of things he enjoys most. web11=CIAVARELLI DESIGN Artisan Lynn Ciavarelli desired a very Zen approach to her site; something quiet that encouraged reflection and patience. Each of her jeweled creations is a unique work of art.
