Scenario: Translucent, Inc. had an image problem. They wanted their customers to understand what they stood for, but were unable to communicate their values effectively. At one point a major glitch occurred in their best selling product and it took months for the PR manager to set things straight.

REBOOT LAUNCH: Hi, Mike
May. 3, 2006
Saying that this site has taken me a long time is like saying that gas prices are a touch too high, it’s a huge understatement.

9rules v2.0, Design Critique
Nov. 4, 2005
The new version of 9rules.com is finally upon us, and while it’s not totally finished yet, we thought it was “nearly there” enough to push live. The previous version won numerous design awards, so when it came time to rebuild the entire infrastructure and drop a new UI on top, we knew we had a Read more »
