We are proud to say that we have launched another successful website for a client. After completing the re-branding for this church, we were then hired to re-do their website to match the new brand direction as well as give them an updated web presence. This included providing photography for the entire site as well as blogs that acted as a CMS (content management system) as well as a beautiful website to match their needs.

I recently came back from a trip to Portland and Seattle. Being in the business that produces logos, brands and signage myself, i always tend to gravitate toward interesting signs. In particular, i love classically old signs. There is something about them that seems to transcend any particular style or time.

Because i was in Seattle, i had to take a picture of the first Starbucks in existence. Notice how their logo and brand colors have changed since this design.

Enjoy the photos that i took from Portland and Seattle but don’t steal them because that just isn’t nice.

We have recently launched an updated website for a neurologist (doctor that works with movement disorders). This is an update of his previous site with a new logo, look, and the ability for him to manage his own content.

We are currently printing business cards for a real estate client located in northern Utah. The cards themselves will have a silk UV coating with 2 rounded corners. With these two features, the card will appear and feel much “softer” than a traditional card and help it to stand out within the over-saturated real estate market.

Because we also provided the photography for this card, we were able to capture the personality of the agent and create a card that was not only clean and professional, but showed that they can be trusted.

We are proud to welcome Korr Medical Technologies as a client. Korr offers a variety of medical devices used in the fitness and medical industries.

Wold Creative Group has been selected to design and develop a new website for Korr. With a CMS (content management system) and other technologies for the site, this site will be a dynamic website that will be custom and targeted as well as easy for the client to organically grow through use.

Like a lot of industries, the design and website development world has trends that surface practically daily. Because of new technology and seemingly new design concepts, the trends in the industry come quickly and leave even quicker. So what should be done with “the next big thing”?

With web development it is a lot easier for us to distinguish between the newest items that are good and those that we ignore. We approach this in the same way that we approach design for a client; we approach this with marketing in mind. If the latest development item goes beyond just looking cool and actually helps the client, then it is something that we would use, when appropriate. If the new development item does not perform well across platforms (Internet Explorer as the prime example), or is not read (crawled) well by the major search engines, or just is inappropriate for the audience, then the client would not benefit by using that development.

With design, sifting through trends is a little more difficult. If something is “too trendy” then there is the risk of a design becoming obsolete very quickly. If a design is “too traditional” then there is the risk of the design not effectively speaking to the intended audience.

All design should consider the 5 elements of art, line, shape, color, texture and balance. Each of the elements should be considered and followed (or purposely broken) for the design to be good. There is one more element that i would like to add to this specifically for designing for clients and that would be the purpose of the design. The purpose of the design will help determine goals, audience and the creative direction of the piece. What would work for a contemporary, young brand would probably not work for a corporate established brand. It is all about purpose for effective design.

More could be said about this but just remember this, if design or development is done for a client, then it should be done to better the client. Happy designing.

We recently launched a website for the Fantis Group Real Estate located in Salt Lake City. Part of the challenge with this site was to take what the MLS provides as a feed and making a search that is user-friendly and content driven. Check it out for yourself to see what we think is the most user-friendly home search in Utah. www.saltyhomes.com

Working with Powder Mountain Ski Resort and Monster Energy, we have launched a website for the inaugural Powder Mountain Motocross. With the motocross course designed by none other than Jeremy McGrath himself, this event has already gotten a lot of traction within the national motocross community.

We did another photo shoot for Brach Design Architecture. This house, located in the Avenues within Salt Lake City, is almost a passive house. That essentially means that this house is very sustainable and uses things like solar panels and automatic windows that create natural air circulation so there is no need for a traditional HVAC system. This is the future of architecture people. Not to mention, the architectural design itself that is incredible.

On rare occasion, the creative work done by our clients stands alone without any need to design something ourselves. Such is the case with Brach Design Architecture. With modern, clean design that creatively uses space, line and flow to perfection within their architecture, all we have to do it let it shine by showing it for what it is.

One of the things that impresses us about them is their commitment to good design but also to the environment. Being the only Passive House Design Consultant in Utah, they take architecture to a new level of utilizing the sun, airflow and passive elements to create a house that will save the environment as well as money through time.

Wold Creative Group has been capturing the recent projects that have been designed by Brach Design Architecture. Here are a few images from our recent photography of a house located at the fun district of 9th and 9th. Click here to learn more about Brach Design Architecture
