Cool Christmas Card- Jellyvision
Jellyvision is a really creative company. I came across this cool Christmas Card on Facebook. It was sent out by Jellyvision (apparently I am not on their list). I’m not sure what year this is from, but my gut tells me they are creative every year.
Anson’s Lil’ Grams Babybook
A friend of mine, Daniel Arsenault, did the original design for the site Lilgrams.com. I was invited to be a beta user today and I set up an account for my son, Anson.
It’s designed to be an online babybook. A lot of the features are still in development, but it does have a nice interface.
The final design was done by http://www.vikkid.com/ in India.
Art Deco Posters
Several years ago I was looking for a good art-deco illustrator. I came across these two artists, but I never got a chance to do any projects with them.
Ecommerce Patent
In 2000 I worked for a company called Bissell in Grand Rapids, MI. It was one of the best jobs I ever had. My boss, a guy named Jim Krzeminski, was a great boss. He worked hard to push the envelop and help turn Bissell into the leader in Home Cleaning.
While I was there I lead a redesign of the company’s e-commerce Web site. It was one of the most successful projects I’ve ever worked on. Jim made sure that nothing got in the way.
One of the features on the site was a check-box ordering system that allowed a user to simply check-off related items on a product page to add them to the cart with the main product. It is a simple concept, but at the time is was very new. We applied for a patent on the technology. I’m not sure if the patent was issued.
Checking any of the boxes in the “Don’t Forget” section adds the accessory to the cart along with the main product when the add to cart button is clicked.
The site was designed by Daniel Arsenault. A very talented artist. I’ve worked with him on a number of projects since then.
