OME Design

Full website design and production, Flash

OME Design are a graphic design agency based in West London who have produced a range of work from book designs for celebrities, such as David Beckham and Martine McCutcheon, to branding projects for stationery suppliers such as Parchment.

Requirements

The agency wanted a sleek, minimal design with an understated feel that would showcase their strong portfolio imagery to its full potential.

Magazine spreads from catalogues, business cards from branding projects and photographs from art direction assignments all needed to be presented in a consistent and effective manner.

Solution

A minimalist Flash site was developed utilising the company’s core brand colour of lime green on a background of greys. A horizontal scrolling system was also created within the flash interface; allowing users to scroll through the portfolio in a sideways and non-conventional manner.

A dynamic Flash and XML solution was built – the Flash site references an XML document containing all the homepage animation, navigation and portfolio information. Updates are therefore performed by updating a single XML file without the need to recompile multiple Flash files.

Results

The website has become an indispensable sales tool for the agency allowing them to effectively demonstrate their impressive portfolio both remotely and in person.
