Nola Creative Wins Two 2010 Communicator Awards!

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

The 16th Annual Communicator Awards have awarded Nola Creative with two prestigious honors. We are proud to announce two Silver “Awards of Distinction”  given to interactive projects completed in 2009.

Our design work for Backbeat Music Instruction led to a win in the Website: Education division. The creative design and organized layout of backbeatmusic.net welcomed new students to the growing music school in Chicago. Throughout 2009 Nola Creative teamed up with Backbeat to provide effective marketing through online and social media forums; a holiday campaign even included custom Facebook badges and E-gift cards! In the Website: Self Promotion category our design for Stay Frank took home the prize. Stayfrank.com was designed to promote the internet marketing company in an approachable, unique format.

These awards speak to the talent, creativity and dedication of Nola Creative’s team and partners. The 2010 awards were the first interactive design awards received by our design firm, a result of the high-caliber work achieved in 2009. The “printeractive” paradigm of Nola Creative stresses the merging of both print and interactive work for a world of ever-changing media; we are excited to now have interactive design awards next to our print design award (won in 2007)!

Each year, the Communicator Awards receive thousands of entries from companies and agencies of all sizes, making it one of the largest award programs of its kind. The competition honors the best in advertising, corporate communications, public relations and identity work for print, video, interactive and audio. Visit www.communicatorawards.com for more information about the awards.

A Destination for Special Events

Monday, November 16th, 2009

When an East Coast hotel needed a website for their new catering house, NOLA Creative designed a destination for party planners and brides-to-be. Straying from the typically traditional, old fashioned imagery we created a modern interactive destination. The design called for a simple navigation menu and clear organization. A modular layout with room to grow ensured a design that would remain relevant and current in a changing industry.

Monday, July 13th, 2009

NOLA Creative recently launched the redesigned website for DK Painting & Construction. This well-established Dallas contracting company had outgrown their old site and required a more user-friendly, modern website.

The new design welcomes visitors with bright colors, rotating imagery and organized navigation. Current clients are able to log in to a secure site while potential clients find the bid request process quick and easy. The custom design shows how a modern website can become a key component in a company’s marketing strategy.

Case Study: LatinoSpeak.net

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009
LatinoSpeak.net is a website devoted to encouraging discussion of public policy issues affecting the Latino population. D. Almager, founder of LatinoSpeak.net and opinion columnist for Texas newspapers wanted a progressive, informative website with the convenience of a blog–easily updated with the latest news and issues.

We integrated an off-the-shelf blog into a custom-designed website.The home page–the blog itself–serves as the portal for current issues. Other pages round out the website with important contact details and tables of government statistics. Using CSS and HTML we carried over design elements, type treatments and uniform navigation throughout all pages of the website.

While the technical data on some pages remains static, the home page is easily updated by the client at any time from the convenience of his own computer. This allows featured writers an outlet for discussion and achieves the creator’s goal of providing a dynamic reference for policy issues affecting the Latino population. The clean, professional design of LatinoSpeak.net presents returning visitors with an engaging environment that puts public policy in a modern, relevant setting.

Blogs have become an increasingly popular way of publishing information because of their convenience and requirement of little to no programming skills. With a little customization, we have helped LatinoSpeak.net and others stand out from the crowd while maintaining a professional appearance and becoming a valuable resource.
