37 Signals article in TIME Magazine

37 Signals, the company that developed the project management software we use called Basecamp, was written up in TIME Magazine. Not only do we love using their simple, easy to use software, but we really love their "keep it simple" philosophy. In fact, I use their online to-do list, Backpack, for my own personal use. Anyone else using Basecamp?

(Project Update) Greg Biffle Website - Top NASCAR Driver

So, while Greg Biffle's business manager is coordinating a photo shoot and gathering the last of the content we'll need, we've begun organizing the sitemap. This blue print of sorts allows us to be clear on the structure of the site before we begin design. It also allows for the client to have an outline of the final content we'll need.

We work hard to receive content as soon as possible. This helps our designers visually tell a story and understand how much text and/or photos will be on a page. Since Studiobanks is known for very clean and easy navigation, it's important we know what we are navigating before we begin the design.

One of the goals of the Greg Biffle site is to show the personal side of Greg—what he's up to when he's not on the track. One of the ways to accomplish this is to show Greg in his street clothes versus his NASCAR uniform. We're looking forward to being at the photo shoot in a couple weeks. Should be fun.

(Project Update) Asana's New Logo

Studioblog Image

As we promised, here's the logo Asana chose from the six or so options we presented them—and it was our favorite one of the bunch, too. Clay designed this font by hand, so Asana will have their very own personal typeface. We chose the four colors from swatches they gave us from one of the clothing brands they'll be carrying. Now, the architect designing the store, which will be located at the new development Morrison in South Park, will be incorporating the color palette we've chosen into the store design. The next phase for Studiobanks is to create all of the Asana collateral: business cards, letterhead, envelopes, in-store hang tags and product signage.

(New Project) Greg Biffle Website - Top NASCAR Driver

We are very excited about our latest project. For me, this is a full circle moment and a great example of how strong client relationships and good old fashion hard work pay off.

One of Studiobanks' very first projects was designing the Rick Crawford website. Our contact there had since worked his way up over the years and is now the business manager for Greg Biffle Incorporated. So, he contacted us to design GregBiffle.com.

With Greg Biffle being a nationally known celebrity, we see this national exposure as an opportunity to highlight our capabilities and creative expertise. With that said, we are going to pull out all the stops to make this site the best site the racing industry has ever seen.

About Greg Biffle

Greg Biffle made NASCAR history in 2002 and came within 35 points of doing it again in 2005 when he finished second in the Chase for the Nextel Cup.

Biffle became the first driver to win championships in both the Craftsman Truck and Busch series before moving full time to Cup in 2003. His lone win that season came in the Pepsi 400 at Daytona, making him one of only a handful of drivers to win a race in each of NASCAR's top three series.

(New Project) Zobo.tv

Studioblog Image

After a couple of meetings and many emails, we are very excited to announce our latest project: re-designing the Zobo.tv website! Zobo.tv provides uniquely-packaged and simple home theater products and services. You may have visited one of their stores by Carolina Place Mall or North Lake Mall. Our first step is to have a kick-off meeting at the store. There we'll meet to discuss the brand, the overall creative direction of the project and watch an installation demo. After mocking the current Studiobanks stereo system, they promised to upgrade our speakers! I see lots of fun, new electronic toys in the very near future! I'll let you know how things go, stay tuned.

(New Project) Kubilins Transportation Group

Kubilins is one of the most sought after traffic engineering firms in the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia and Tennessee. We are taking a very organized yet creative approach to their website, which will be built in FLASH and lots of animation in the background. It's also very important that when visitors come to their site they can view the Kubilins portfolio right away- whether they want to search by a particular service or by a specific project, like the NASCAR Hall of Fame or Birkdale Village. Check back for the launch announcement. This has been one of our favorite websites so far this year.
