Festival Season

We are proud to present a new addition to our product assortment! The website “Finere Festival” offers different promotional packages aimed at the Norwegian festival market. Most Norwegian festivals are relatively small, and their budgets for promotional material (posters/web-page a.s.o) aren’t often all that.

We hope to amend this by offering a streamlined production process where web and print are created simultaneously with high intensity. This will hopefully result in visually engaging posters and websites for some of the hundreds of festivals that compete for peoples attention during the year.

Cielo Website

Cielo (which translates into “heaven”) started their own small chocolate factory here in Trondheim 3 years ago. Earlier these heavenly lumps of calories only were to be obtained in a few local outlets, but now there is an alternative.

We’ve recently completed their new website, which utilizes the Snop CMS. This merry occasion also marks Klipp og Lim’s first venture in the land of e-commerce as we are proud to present a neat and intuitive web shop. Drag items into the shopping basket and check out, simple as that. We’re also in the process of developing a new identity, the logo seen above included.

Cielo was earlier blogged by Made In Norway Now as well, and we suspect more will pick up on these tasty chocolate pieces in the time to come! You can also follow the boys on Twitter.

Studio Skeie

We recently finished a new dynamic website for Studio Skeie, as usual based on our Snop CMS. Hope you like it.

Also, all our videos are now also embeddable in case you’d want to post them elsewhere!

Trøndelagsutstillingen

We’ve produced a new profile and website for Trøndelagsutstillingen, another site that uses our Snop CMS. This site uses the whole browser window as a showroom for the exhibition.

We wanted to make a site which emphasized the works of art, and use photos of the exhibition space as backgrounds throughout the website. We also made a catalog and a poster, which we will publish here as soon as we’re able to take some decent photos of them.

Launch site

TSO Website

We’ve recently been working closely with the Trondheim Symphonic Orchestra (TSO) developing a brand new website alongside with media such as animation and the individual portraits of the orchestra. The site is also added to our portfolio.

Including the animation, based on the illustration by Si Scott and scored by Sander.

Fullscreen Images Reloaded

Since our last post about fullscreen scaling background without flash, we have received lots of feedback and suggestions for improvement. There has also been some further developement with implementing the gallery functionality we use at the GOTOCHINA-site. Now there’s a new version in town.

Fullscreen Image Scaling without Flash

After our web designer Eirik launched the GOTOCHINA-website, there have been a lot of writings around on the web on how to do the full-screen image-effect. There have also been developers sending mails and wondering about how this technique both can center the image and scale proportionally. So therefore, in this post we’re going to give you a explanation of how it all works.

Modernista!

They’re right: Modernista! is not for everyone. But they’ve created one of the most creative ‘websites’ I’ve seen in a while, as their ‘site’ is really simply utilizing all kinds of Web 2.0 services and applications in order to display their information and portfolio.

See what you make of it: Modernista!
