Mediacreation Website

We teamed up with Alexanders Sellas and Michael Maier to design and program the new custom CMS driven “Mediacreation” website.

Brief
Create a simple portfolio website where potential clients can get a visual imagination of the company’s work. Show our clients, avoid deeplinks and create an “easter egg” with our Logo.

Solution
A Grid based website with video stills, where you can open projects without being referred to another page. We created a client site that shows the whole alphabet and by hovering over the letters you see the clients. This method gave us the chance to avoid boring lists.

Technologies
HTML, CSS, Jquery, PHP and Flash

Jam Jar Movie Poster

Movie Description
The short film Jam Jar by young director Veree Lynn Puhm, a drama set in the 1950′s in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, thematizes intolerance and the power society can have over individuals. It’s about a woman, Mae Allen Clarks, working as a pin-up girl, who gets involved in lies and false-motivated accusations of alleged communistic intrigues. To prevail against the society she remains faithful to herself but loses her husband’s appreciation and endorsement, who is rather floating with the current. The movie is about emancipation, the development of one’s personality, civil courage to defy the accepted common opinion and the spirit to lean against the mass.

Work Description
Our concept is based on the fact that the film was produced in the year 2010. Therefore we decided to do a mixture between past and contemporary styles and techniques. The portrait shows “Mae Allen Clarks” during a demonstration.

By layering various elements with various transparencies, we created kind of an abstract floral pattern, which stands for feminity and emancipation.

The modern look is supported by thin lines which were programmed in “Adobe Flash”. The patterns consist of triangles and circles only. The look of the lines is gentle and fragile. Although they are following a very strict programmed system, they break each other up.
