Websites :: Blue Lamb - Austin-based Web Design

The Rural Heritage Festival

Client: Lisle Station Museum

Roles: Information architecture, site design and development, graphics production.

A genre-defying festival created to celebrate the cultural legacy of America’s best acoustic guitarists and folk artists. All the Lisle Station Museum needed was a site as vibrant as its content. So that’s what we made for them. The snakeskin pattern is just like old-time blues: wild and earthy.

Kid Suburban

Client: White Elephant

Roles: Information architecture, site design and development, graphics production.

Kazoo y timbales. The perfect instrumental companions. The band White Elephant charged Blue Lamb with inventing the graphical counterpart to their auditory stylings. The results are sweet. Sweet like maize. A graphic of a skeleton woodcut by Eric Drooker evokes the Mexican flavor that is White Elephant. Pass the flan, bebé.

The Sister Arts - British Gardening, Painting, & Poetry 1700-1832

Client: The University of Texas at Austin

Roles: Information architecture, site design, graphics production.

This site focuses on eighteenth-century and Romantic representations of the British landscape. Students may visit displays defining six important aesthetic concepts used by poets, painters, and garden designers in the eighteenth century: the neoclassical, the Romantic, the sublime, the beautiful, the picturesque, and the gothic. The site exemplifies the eighteenth-century concept of the interrelation of the arts of painting, poetry, and landscape design.

MFA Graduate Actors Showcase

Client: The University of Texas at Austin

Roles: Information architecture, site design and development, graphics production.

The University of Texas at Austin has the largest theatre department in the United States, with an MFA program that ranks 8th in the nation. They needed a way to present graduate actors to agents and casting directors around the world. We whipped up a way to display these attractive people and their talents, which include welding and salsa dance. I feel a Latin remake of "Flashdance" coming on. And I like it.

Fine Arts Career Services

Client: The University of Texas at Austin

Roles: Usability analysis, information architecture, site design, graphics production.

The Fine Arts Career Services office caters to students, faculty, and employers. They serve as a hub for everything career-related, from practice interviews to job fairs. Blue Lamb designed a site exploding with visual energy, bringing the FACS image up-to-date and making information so easy to find, it almost jumps in your lap.

Golfsmith

Client: Golfsmith

Roles: Template design and development, banner design, HTML newsletter design, graphics production, copywriting.

Golfsmith is a national retailer for all things golf. They operate 42 superstores throughout the U.S. and Canada, distribute catalogs, and run an online store. With their clubs in so many pies, they needed help showcasing their awesome product. And help is what the Blue Lamb brought, in the form of fresh, clean templates, banners, and newsletters. Now I know what a Big Bertha is, and I shall never forget (it's a club).

Last House on the Beach

Client: Last House on the Beach

Roles: Site design, graphics production.

A beach house with no residents is a lonely beach house, indeed. It was our mission to populate this radical abode with the aid of an enticing website. Visiting the site is almost like writing a postcard seaside. Can you feel the sand between your toes? I can, except for me, it's hooves.
