The 2013 ADDYs have come and gone but our excitement still remains. Studiobanks took home two Silver ADDYs this year; one for our work on Discovery Place Kid's mobile site and a second for our very own Holiday Microsite.

True inspiration can be measured by its longevity. It's been a week since Banks and Andrea and I visited Atlanta for An Event Apart (@aneventapart), but I'm still giddy about being a web developer. And this is a breakthrough, because there's been a problem...

The educational, interactive, and enjoyable oases for children and their parental figures known as Discovery Place and Discovery Place Kids have gone mobile.
It’s very easy to forget about how many devices may view your website on a daily basis, simply because when you factor in mobile internet, the options can become overwhelming. It’s important to consider the popularity of these devices when planning your website strategy because most budgets will not allow for a site that both looks and works great in every mobile device in the market.
After oversleeping for the last two years, I finally got a chance to attend Charlotte's (third) annual BarCamp event.
BarCamp is an "un-conference", where typical conference layouts are discarded for a more attendee-based approach that allows anyone at the conference to pitch an idea they would like to talk about, then have everyone vote on the topics that interest them most. The pitches with the most votes get to present.
I admit I was a little concerned about the event as from what I had gathered, the topics were more focused on social media and other aspects of technology that I was not hugely interested in. To my pleasant surprise, nearly the opposite was true.
I will be teaching a class called Animation and Interactivity this Fall at my alma mater, UNC Charlotte. Here is how the school's directory describes the course:
ARTM 3103. Animation and Interactivity. Emphasis on the tools, techniques, and software used in the creation of interactive multimedia and animation, especially media creation for video, the Internet, and CD-ROM.
This is the first time I have had the opportunity to teach at the collegiate level and need some help. I'm currently working on a syllabus that will focus on Flash and AS3. I'm planning on having the students do 3 or 4 projects during the course of the semester. Does anyone have any good ideas for projects? I want to have projects that are both challenging and that could be included in a professional portfolio after graduation.
Big thanks to AIGA and everyone that made it out last night for the AIGA Lecture By Your Next Door Neighbor. This was the first time our studio had ever been asked to do a lecture. It was exciting for us to see so many people in the studio to hear about our work.
In the lecture, we discussed our creative process and highlighted nine of our clients. Those who attended even got a sneak peek at some of our website projects that are in the works and haven’t launched yet.
If you missed it, here are some photos we took.
