Article Prospect Experience Design Post Office Delivers the End of Web 2.0 by Justin Kerr on September 25, 2009 Remember the large fonts, shiny surfaces and lickable buttons from a few years ago? Although there was some confusion about what exactly Web 2.0 was (a movement? a structure? a style?), there were definitely design elements that were emulated, copied and recycled. The United States Postal Service has never been known for cutting-edge anything, but their take on Web 2.0 style heralds the tail end of this trend. Icons that cast a shadow as well as a reflection? Really, USPS? Read Now About

Article Prospect Experience Design Guest Post by Eric Holter: A Critique of Remedy’s Website by Christopher Butler on August 10, 2009 Now that Eric, our former CEO, is off to new heights in his career, I've invited him to contribute a few guest blog posts. This is the third of several that he'll contribute in the coming months... In the recent HOW magazine article, "Rock Your Website," Chicago-based Remedy was one of the featured website examples. Remedy is a good example of an agency website, but I’m not quite ready to push it into the "great" column.

Article Prospect Experience Design Paper Prototyping by Katie Jamison on July 30, 2009 Despite all the tremendous benefits using an HTML based, interactive prototype (which we will sing praises for til the end of time), I often find that if we begin with HTML alone, we're more likely to cling to a certain layout simply due to the time (and pride) put into crafting a complex HTML structure. This is why I begin nearly all template layouts with a number of hand drawn sketches or whiteboard layouts before we even begin with HTML. In this post, I'll share an example of how paper prototyping played a critical role in how we approached a redesign for winwithoutpitching.com. Read Now About
Article Prospect Experience Design Guest Post by Eric Holter: A Critique of the Currency Marketing’s Website by Christopher Butler on July 28, 2009 Now that Eric, our former CEO, is off to new heights in his career, I've invited him to contribute a few guest blog posts. This is the second of a series that will be published in the coming months... Tim McAlpine founded his agency in 1990. But it wasn’t until 2003 that he took the bold step to re-position The McAlpine Group (their former name) as Currency Marketing, a specialized Credit Union marketing firm. It’s rare that creative firms overcome their initial terror at the idea of such focused positioning. Fears of opportunities lost or being passed over for other kinds of work (not to mention the fear of boredom from doing “just one thing”) often give agencies pause. It’s sometimes easier for agencies to warm up to the idea of positioning the way Tim did at the time, by maintaining two “brands.” In 2004 Tim created Currency Marketing for credit unions and Passport Marketing presumably for everything else. But three years later the fruits of Currency Marketing’s positioning were so profound he dropped Passport and now enjoys a laser focused specialization, which gives him valuable expertise and a leading position in credit union marketing...
