Structure Films approached me to design their visual identity and home webspace. Jason and David were interested in using a model of electromagnetism as the basis of their logo to reinforce their science-in-film mission. We put together a dynamic, WordPress site that uses video, full width elements, and tall, scrolling pages to engage the visitor.
Structure Films raised $859,425 through Kickstarter for their Bill Nye Film project, setting a record for the most-funded documentary on the crowdfunding site. For the campaign, I developed graphics based on the quirky segments and 90’s-era graphics in Nye’s original PBS/Disney TV show. We were able to tap into a generational nostalgia for Nye’s science-education enthusiasm and blow way past their $650,000 goal. Science Rules!
Couple3 Films’ portfolio site makes plain their interest in science by presenting the visitor a periodic table of their film work. Their logo development was also a big part of this project.
The Bay Area Graduate Symposium brings together academics from a variety of California institutions. Promoting the event with website instead of a poster allowed the organizing committee to create a registration tool that let them estimate attendance for sponsors and provide directions and details about their speakers to attendees.
Cat Trick Films, an up-start production company based in San Francisco, needed help building a brand. I collaborated with the three primary filmmakers to produce a fun, fresh portfolio site to showcase their talent and attract new clients. The site uses Javascript to simulate folders opening and closing, allowing the viewer to show and hide portfolio categories.
Lana Wilson is an Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker. Her website presents her projects and relevant press clippings. The site was designed to quietly announce Lana’s work and foreground the identity mark I designed for her personal brand.
UCSF’s student newspaper, Synapse, hired Kalamuna to develop a new home as they began to see their readers move online. Kalamuna brought me on to work up a visual design and new brand identity. Together we built a bright, clean site.
