		<description><![CDATA[The Uvize logo design was created over the summer of 2011, and incorporates an open book &#38; pages in brilliant blue color tones to symbolize the goal of this Boulder Educational company: to prepare high school students for their journey into college and future educational experiences.  We initially began working with Uvize on the Boulder logo design as part of a greater project that first included the logo design portion of the project, followed by another project phase that included customizing a Wordpress installation and theme based on the creative logo design to reach out to their targeted demographic of both students and their parents.

We were challenged on this Boulder Logo Design project to create a simple, iconic, and memorable graphic logo design that conveyed all the concepts of "Academic", "Youth" and "Modern" for students as well as their parents.  Blue was the client's choice, but we worked closely with the client to dial that color choice in to something bold, bright, and easily readable on both light and dark background colors through many creative rounds &#38; revisions.  Other elements within the logo design, like the open book graphic, by itself does not read as a specific letter, but within the logo design, this iconic book &#38; pages graphic takes on new meaning, and clearly communicates as the letter "V" within the logo design.

In the large image of the logo design above, you will see the logo sitting in the newly customized website template, including customized background, graphic elements and ...<div><a href="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/boulder-academic-logo-design/"><img src="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Boulder-Academic-Logo-Design-website-sm.jpg?52993a" /></a></div>

		<description><![CDATA[The Visualist Blog site launched in January, 2011, and serves as a visual computing technology blog for Denver-based Christopher Jaynes, the CTO for Mersive, which he founded in 2004.  The goal of this Wordpress customization site design was to create a rich visual computing and information resource, along with post discussion and social media integration, all while carrying over branded colors and elements from existing Mersive brand standards into the design.  The Mersive.com company website features a prominent link to The Visualist Blog in the main site navigation, so the user experience was a significant consideration during the wireframe and creative process.  Another major consideration was the ability to add frequent posts and other content to the site, so we developed and coded this site leveraging the Wordpress platform and administrator interface.

For the banner area of this site, we chose a large, bold, and modern font with a letterpress effect, and subtle gray to white gradient that intentionally overlaps with the main content region, slightly truncating the bottom of each letter, and creating a very connected look between the top and body regions of the page.  To add depth and incorporate Mersive brand colors, we created a green light-beam effect behind this bold headline text to convey the visual and technology aspects of this blog in an abstract way.

Secondary color choices beyond the green of the graphic banner area allow for small additions of color throughout the page on links, buttons, and comment notifications.  Custom fonts were also used for ...<div><a href="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/wordpress-customization-web-design/"><img src="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/denver-website-visualist-blog-sm.jpg?52993a" /></a></div>

		<description><![CDATA[The HeidiWicks.com website was designed to clearly communicate Heidi's personalized approach to Date Coaching and Matching, while incorporating her existing logo and branding colors throughout the site.  This is a Wordpress driven site, with a high level of customization to drive page functionality, as well as a customized Wordpress theme, custom page templates, and a remodeled Wordpress admin to make managing the content very easy for Heidi into the future.  Custom content types were created within Wordpress to handle templating and style formatting for client testimonials, news announcements, blog posts, and page content updates.

In addition to the Wordpress customization, we integrated the contact form on the site with Heidi's existing SalesForce.com account, so that all lead generation through her website is automatically synced with Sales Force, and she can more easily manage her clients and new leads going forward. We also migrated her existing Blogger blog posts into the new site structure and dating blog, which can all be maintained from the Admin panel and CMS that Heidi now uses to manage all her site content.

We kicked off this project with an informal meeting in Boulder over coffee, where Heidi described her hopes and requirements for the new site, as well as her existing online content that she wanted to incorporate into this new site.  We presented several site design variations to help guide the conversation and make decisions about overall layout, look and feel, as well as high level site functionality and color choices.  Once we collectively narrowed those ...<div><a href="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/heidi-wicks-boulder-web-design/"><img src="http://www.cloudburstdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/heidi-wicks-website-design-SM.jpg?52993a" /></a></div>
