Creating a Visual Identity

Corporate visual identification gives a company its graphic identity and originality. We design graphic systems for companies and organisations in such a way that they can clearly communicate their brand and build its uniqueness. We make sure that the form translates into the meaning, thus communicating key values and ensuring brand recognition.

AdWords – Advertising in Google

The most common way to obtain information today is by using Internet search engines. For most users, a company that fails to show up high in search results does not exist. Sponsored links in search engines provide the possibility of coming high and help encourage potential customers to visit its website.

ERA

For ERA, one of the largest Polish mobile operators, Making Waves has built an interactive application “Find Your Phone”.

The “Find Your Phone” application was built for users who not only want to browse and view, but also to compare mobile phones offered by PTC ERA.

The application was developed in Microsoft Silverlight. As it is RIA-enabled, the new browser is remarkably dynamic and vivid. In addition to providing basic parameters, it also allows phones to be viewed from each side. The high quality of photos is guaranteed by Microsoft’s Deep Zoom component. The application “Find Your Phone” is an ideal tool for the most demanding clients.

Bryksy Group

The first installation of EPiServer in Poland ended in success. You are welcome to visit the new website of the Bryksy Group.

The most important part of this multi-stage project was to create a new graphic design and architecture of the website, and then to install EPiServer, on which it has been based.

The goal of the project was to increase the attractiveness of the Bryksy Group’s website, both in terms of its visual and functional aspects, and to provide website visitors with detailed information about the Group’s current investments (the layout of apartments, visualisations, a list of available apartments). At the client’s request, we linked the EPiServer platform with Google maps, which now makes it possible to show the exact location of each completed investment and the company's sales offices.

Vattenfall

In April 2008, we were distinguished as an Official Honouree by the jury of the Webby Awards for the Interactive Electricity Consumption Calculator.

The Interactive Calculator is an RIA application that is based on Flex. The aim of the project was to design a web page where it is possible to calculate electricity consumption by a household, the amount of carbon dioxide generated and the estimated value of a monthly electricity bill.

The application offers rich graphic design and an interactive interface allowing intuitive navigation. The calculator is also easy to use. In addition to its rich visual effects, it has also become an effective tool for calculating electricity bills without having to fill in extended forms.

InteliWISE

We have tested the usability of www.avatou.com, a website where you can create your own avatar.

We have found out that the website, though having an interesting and encouraging look and feel, fails to express its purpose, which is why users encountered problems when performing tasks. This might have also contributed to the website visitors not having any interest or willingness to stay on the website.
We have also thoroughly analysed the process of recording avatars. The series of actions required to finish the task turned out to be complicated and often unclear due to the English terminology used.

Apart from these more or less serious mistakes, we did discover a number of good solutions used by InteliWISE on their website.

Regjeringen

Making Waves has created an information portal for the Government of the Kingdom of Norway, which is based on EPiServer and search engine FAST ESP.

To make it possible to edit content easily, we based the government portal on EPiServer, a content management system not known in Poland. The efficiency of searching for information is guaranteed by Topic Maps, a technology used to connect topics through relationships.

The state-of-the-art IT solutions that we used in this project allow a vast amount of data to be processed and browsed efficiently.

Combining advanced technologies, refined graphic design and well thought out interaction with the user has turned the project into a huge success and brought great satisfaction from the demanding client.

Grafill

In May 2007, Making Waves won the Golden Award for the website designed for the Norwegian Association of Visual Communication Grafill.

 

Making Waves designed and implemented the website for the Norwegian Association of Visual Communication. The project’s aim was to integrate the community of graphic designers and provide them with the possibility to edit their works on the Grafill website.

The website is based on EPiServer, a Swedish content management system, and integrated with the CRM used by Grafill.

In May 2007, in Oslo, Making Waves received the Golden Award of VISUEL07 for the website design.
