February Roundup

Happy March!

While it’s still pretty chilly out there, things have been warming up in the EM offices, and we’ve been working on some great projects recently!

We recently launched WorkWell’s new website, where we got to play with fun illustrations, animations, and new design elements. We also wrote a blog about our process and, since we launched, we’ve been working on getting and staying healthy in the office as well!

We launched Health ICT’s new website, where we went wild over new icons, funky colors, and the watercolor background of our health class dreams. We documented some of the process here.

We’re working on some new projects and getting excited about some new March redesigns that we have in order. If you have some news to share with us, email us at info@entermotion.com so we can celebrate with you.

Spotlight on WorkWell KS

Promoting_Worksite_Health_in_Kansas_»_WorkWell_KS_-_2016-02-22_09.20.45

WorkWell, a Kansas-based initiative dedicated to getting businesses to work healthier, came to us about redesigning their website, and we were ready to get moving! Because they help people get active in the workplace, we knew we wanted to create a fun and bright site that would incorporate a variety of moving elements.

Goals

WorkWell wanted a corporate site that would lay out their information so that users could navigate it with ease, but they also wanted to make sure that their content and resources were both fun and accessible so that businesses would be as excited about their initiative as they are.

WorkWell leads a variety of events in the Kansas area and beyond, so we had to make sure their events were highlighted right off the bat — we placed these on the homepage so that employers and team members could find upcoming events. We incorporated blue accents around the dates with events so that users could easily scan in order to find events that suit their needs and their timelines.

We incorporated spherical designs throughout the site to reflect WorkWell’s dedication to wholesome wellness.

We’re excited to see how many people get active with WorkWell’s new site! Check it out here.

Health ICT Spotlight

You know the book Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff by Richard Carlson? We love that book for its chunks of wisdom (“Pay attention to your joy, that feeling will grow.” (Don’t Sweat). What’s not to love, right? But we’re in the business of design, which means we pretty much do sweat the small stuff. And the not-so-small stuff. And the hey-why-doesn’t-your-logo-match-your-brand stuff. Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Health ICT’s new site, which allowed us to sweat all of the small details that we love.

We Perked Up for Health — And For Modern Icons…

HealthICT-home2

HealthICT is a Kansas-based initiative that seeks to reduce the cases of obesity, diabetes, heart attack and stroke in Sedgwick County. We created an educationally relevant and graphically imaginative site that would pull all of their information in one navigable site. And while we did that, we were most excited about the watercolor feel that we gave to the pages. We’re always happy when we can combine our childhood dreams of paint and water with our restraint and reverence for clean designs.

So Many Wows, So Little Time

Every design team probably has that wow moment. And probably all employees of any type of company have that wow moment. The moment where you realize exactly how cool the project you’re working on is. That wow moment came for us early on. When we were designing, we had visions of old-school educational documents, vintage posters, and a light color palette that brought us back to the school locker room — where we could get fit and learn something new.

Check out their new site here, and when you’re pumped to get healthy, you can drool over these vintage posters from the New York Public Library for more inspiration!

Artists We Love

Mary Blair

o-ALICE-900   You may not have heard of Mary Blair, but we bet you’ve seen her work somewhere. Born Mary Robinson, this artist was awarded the Walt Disney Disney Legend award posthumously in 1991. We love Mary’s work for a variety of reasons: some of us are fascinated by her ability to create a scene that is both dark and whimsical at the same time; some of us are obsessed with her ability to work with color, which might be why she was called a “color stylist” on Peter Pan; and some of us love her for her large imagination. – (Image via Huffington Post.)

 

 

 

Franz Kline

       Franz Kline

            We are obsessed with Kline’s abstract expressionism because of the way the work changes meaning based on who looks at it. Where some people see a window, others might see a door. Where one person sees a face, another person sees a flower. – (Image via Artsy.)

Ray Eames

 Ray Eames

              Of course, we all go gaga over the Eames Eiffel chair (created by Ray and her husband Charles) for its simplicity, its sleek lines, and its ability to make any space feel more modern, more sophisticated, and more…well…better. But we also love Ray Eames’s paintings. – (Image via Dear Hancock).

Lou Romano

RB_00

Lou Romano is an animation production artist and voice actor whose work inspires us. Browsing through his blog, we came across graphic, almost vector-like images that hinted towards Blair’s dark mood. Besides just the aesthetics, we love how Romano’s blog showcases the process involved in his art. Check out his blog here. – (Image via Lou Romano’s blog).
