Emerging Terrain Relaunches Website with Cathy Solarana Design

Solarana, an Omaha designer, had a great starting point with with the existing brand identity, developed by Oxide Design. The goal was to transition the site. To build on what was working, all while retaining elements which are important to the look and feel of the brand, emphasizing what's current and on the horizon at Emerging Terrain.

It was imperative to show off Emerging Terrain's large scale projects by using equally beautiful large scale images. Another key challenge was to gather their separate project micro sites and bring them together under a single site format that could easily expand and evolve. Adding a project location map and a blog to document and share the process of all their projects and challenges was also a major goal. The content focus was on viewer access—making it easy to learn more and get involved.

Cathy Solarana Design created the site and she partnered with Grain and Mortar to make it come to life. VISIT SITE

Oxide Rolls Out 2012 Maha Music Festival Logo and Website

Oxide has launched the 2012 Maha Music Festival website with new logo and identity. The grungy, black and white look is carried out through the design of the one pager, smooth scroll site. The background of the logo is even explain on the site with a quote from Drew Davies. VISIT SITE

Maha Music Festival is about a pride of place. It’s uniquely Omaha — founded and run by people deeply rooted in our city, committed to adding a healthy dose of independent music and arts to the city’s robust cultural mix.

 

When Oxide Design Co. partnered with Maha to develop a new visual identity for the festival, we set out to capture all of that: pride, place, and independence. And we found it in the great chief of the Maha tribe, Chief Blackbird. The Maha were the most powerful Native American tribe in the Great Plains — a tribe whose name inspired our city’s, and then our festival’s. Oxide developed a modern symbol for the Chief that hints at the visual style of the Plains Indians, but is still pure rock n’ roll.

Bozell has launched the QRinkle Management System, a newly created solution that offers marketers a simpler way to manage, monitor, measure and modify Quick Response (QR) campaigns. This new addition to QRinkle, the QR Code Generator Tool launched by Bozell last year, allows the user to track, manage and share QR campaigns with multiple codes and destinations over an extended period of time.

Until recently, managing QR campaigns with multiple codes was a tedious process involving multiple steps, and there wasn’t an efficient way to change the URL destination of a QR code throughout a campaign. The QRinkle Management System is a distinctive solution to these issues by simplifying the process for marketers. Users will find the system saves them time as well as offers more flexibility, great tracking statistics and the ability to localize campaign results. The QRinkle Management System will be available free of charge for a limited time.

The QRinkle Management System integrates the following features:

• Individual code and campaign tracking analytics are incorporated so users can see how their marketing efforts perform.
• QR codes can be modified at any time to send the user to a different URL – so the user can change content during a campaign without having to reprint any collateral materials.
• QR codes can be set up to expire and send the user to a different destination URL after expiration – so if there is a timed promotional offer in an ad or brochure, users can redirect viewers to more generic information after the promotional period while still engaging them with the brand.
• Users can create a campaign right in the system, or if they have a large campaign with multiple links, they can upload a Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file of the codes to be generated into the system and the system will automatically generate all of the campaign codes at once.
• Users can download all codes from a campaign into a single zip file with one click.
• Users can easily share generated codes with commercial printers.
• Users can share their code creative with others and allow them to download the campaign codes based on the size and image format they require.
• The system offers A/B testing to allow the user to test two different creative messages at two different URLs using a single QR code.
