Bliss Pictures Leaves the Flash Behind

February 22, 2013

new work / web design: bliss pictures website redesign

Most photography websites created in the past decade have been driven by Flash, and for good reason: Flash provides an excellent framework for very rich multimedia experiences, allowing for a seamless blend of audio, animation, and engaging interactivity. Photography portfolio websites really shine in this medium, and a whole marketplace sprung up just to sell Flash portfolio templates to photographers.

Then on April 3, 2010, the iPad arrived. (more…)

Getting to the heart of it.

new work: Save a Heart Ball

Save a Heart Ball

Not too long ago, every single patient in Thunder Bay and region who needed angioplasty had to go to another centre to receive treatment, such as Winnipeg or Toronto.

In response to this crisis, the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation created the Northern Cardiac Fund to expand local cardiac care services. In 2005, the Save a Heart Campaign was conceived to assist in the fund-raising and awareness-raising effort, culminating in a gala event every November, the Save a Heart Ball. (more…)

In essence a film commission, the idea was initiated by a coalition of local film producers and brought to life by Thunder Bay Community Economic Development Commission (CEDC). eleven-seventeen was brought in to provide a website content strategy and design to satisfy the needs of a diverse film community. The design had to work within the City of Thunder Bay’s content management system, and be supported by an identity system to protect the project as it grows. (more…)
