Agency Night at Urban Grind

One of the many events taking place within the Atlanta Creative Community is an event called Agency Night at Urban Grind. Located at 962 Marietta St., Urban Grind not only provides an intimate meeting environment, but it’s also roughly a quarter of a mile from my apartment!

Aside from combining coffee and creativity, my two main vices, Agency Night, which took place on August 25th, provided a look at some of the best interactive sites on the web today. Chris Allen of Hawthorne Visual Communication, served as the guest presenter, while the attendance included professionals from both the account and creative side of the advertising industry.

Just a few of the innovative sites discussed were:

www.booneoakley.com

www.nike.com

www.thefwa.com

www.agencynet.com

www.mono-1.com/monoface/main.html

Agency Night takes place every 4th Tuesday of the month and more information can be found by searching “Agency Nights at Urban Grind” on facebook.

The newest project of my freelancing endeavors was the redesign of fowlersculpture.com. The artist, Roge Fowler, had a very specific look in mind at the beginning of this project and did a great job of conveying his vision to me while staying open to my interpretations.

The most important goal of the site's redesign was to present the artwork in a clean professional manner without competing for attention. In order to make the site as search-engine friendly as possible, I also chose to use as much live text as possible.
