A Brief Introduction to Social Intelligence by Sada Nam Kaur — Video

One of nine demon­stra­tion videos about social intel­li­gence by Kunda­lini yoga teacher and life coach Sada Nam Kaur, shot and edited by planXdesign. The videos are presen­ted on a DVD as part of a work book, which also comes from our stu­dio. We set up a stu­dio shoot cre­at­ing back­grounds in post pro­duc­tion to match the cli­ents brand col­ours. We used an autocue to prompt. We designed the sub­titles, title pages, menus and DVD cover to all cor­res­pond with the work book’s look.

mis​s​plun​kett​.tv — Websites

PlanXdesign cre­ated these web­sites from scratch, design­ing five sim­ilar tem­plates, each with it’s own col­our scheme, a slightly dif­fer­ent repeat­ing back­ground image and her logo (which we designed) in the header. As a multi media artist Miss Plun­kett wanted some­thing clean, crisp and clear to present her dif­fer­ent dis­cip­lines in a uni­fied way, so we opted for using col­our for the links and boxes, over white. These web­sites are CMS sys­tems which auto­mat­ic­ally post new posts to twit­ter and is con­nec­ted to Mailchimp news­let­ter solution.

Kashi Kollective — Website

PlanXdesign cre­ated this web­site for Kashi Kollect­ive, a world­wide group of musi­cians and musical pro­du­cers who wanted a site to present them as a group of artists who use an eco-studio for musical record­ings and arrange­ments. They also required an integ­rated e-commerce solu­tion for selling their music as a down­load and CD.

Kashi made their own digital sketch for the web­site, of which we derived 3 tem­plates of vary­ing col­our. We also vec­tor­ised a sketch that Kashi gave us of their logo, we then developed it fur­ther into an orna­ment, which is used in the header and footer of the web­site. We also adjus­ted the look of the side menu using a font chosen by Kashi.

Each tem­plate has its own bank of back­ground melod­ies and a slide show of illus­trat­ive pho­to­graphs. The col­our of the text for each theme has been chosen from the back­ground image, keep­ing the same hue and adjust­ing its light­ness to make it easy to read.

lili​ansi​monsson​.tv — Website

PlanXdesign cre­ated Lilian Simonsson’s web­site using an eleg­ant min­imal design, a sans serif font and one of her own pho­to­graphs on her home page. The web­site is for her port­fo­lio of film and art work. We com­pleted sev­eral design tem­plates before strip­ping the design right back, on her request, to achieve a simple look where her work stands out. This site is a CMS solu­tion, there­fore Lilian is able to upload her films, pho­to­graphs and text her­self and it has an integ­rated easy-to-use gal­lery solution.

Florecer – Logo

This logo has been designed for a life coach who uses yoga in her work. The logo image rep­res­ents the easy pose in Kunda­lini yoga and a blos­som flower, which ever way you choose to look at it, as the crossed legs become the petals and the torso becomes the sta­men or a dan­cing woman flow­ing upward. We aimed to express light­ness and  move­ment and we used our cli­ents favour­ite col­our. Our brief was also to make a sym­bol, some­thing like that of Chinese calligraphy.

www​.ser​i​ously4x4​.com – Vehicle Graphics

www​.ser​i​ously4x4​.co​.uk is an off road vehicle enthu­si­ast with whom we designed their logo, we then turned it into a vinyl graphic and applied it to the vehicle doors to advert­ise the web site. We then had some fun turn­ing the vehicles own tyre treads into a car sticker which crosses over the vehicle in 3 places.
