Design
There's nothing quite like the challenge of communication design. Its a space where effectively, art meets science. The way things look and function have a huge impact on user perception, which is why we put the user first.
We come up with a range of different options and then refine the best ones. Simplifying everything as much as we can, because we believe that good design is not overly complex. Good design is simple and usable. Good design works.
Services
Brand identity
Logo development and corporate ID work, brochures, catalogues. We can define (or redefine) your brand, giving you the professional face that represents your business and helps you identify with your customers, suppliers and staff.
User interface design
By understanding human behaviour we are better able to design usable, inutuitive interfaces that engage the user and generate more activations. Our interfaces are as simple and elegant to use as possible, while being on brand and using appropriate styling and visual language.
Solution design
We break the concept down to a level of detail whereby we know it will work. ie - this is how its going to function - this will talk to that, the user can click a button here and do this, we'll build it using these technologies. Its not a specification, that comes next once this step is approved.
Information architecture and usability
First and foremost your website has to work. It has to be usable and functional. All V3 projects are based around solid IA principles because we understand that good IA not only improves the end result, but more importantly, improves ROI.
Content design
Just as the interface needs to be intuitive, the content needs to be compelling and digestable. Clear hierarchy, simple language, appropriate layout. Not just a case of slapping some words on a page, the content design can make or break the experience.
Rich media and video
Rich media is not just for banners. Although we do those too. Its a great way to add interest and focal point to your project where appropriate. Animation, video production, sound production, for use both on and offline.
