The Collective blog goes live
The Collective Branding and Design are one of our longer standing clients. Starting out when the principal designer -Leigh Dyson- was still operating as a sole proprietor under the name of Dyson Design, we have grown alongside The Collective and together have done a number of collaborative works over the years.
When Leigh contacted me last week, she expressed interest in getting a blog online for The Collective and within a short timeframe (less than a week) we managed to create a unique blog interface for the site. Working off our original Wordpress installation and the initially solid code foundation, we upgraded their installation to the latest version and integrated the blog neatly with minimal plugins.
Personally I think it came out quite nicely.
Keen to know your opinion if you have one – introducing The Collective Branding and Design Blog.

Very nice site. I love the bright orange on white. Very energetic. Also good job with the flash integration, looks seamless and adds a great effect.

Thanks Shane. Yeah, a vast majority of the aesthetic was done by the Collective themselves. We cleaned it up for the web and of course coded and integrated with the CMS. I agree, the flash came out nice. It’s dynamic too, so it is all manipulable via n XML file.
A fun project in all.
