Frida & Diego web screenTheatrical Drama

The launch of a new musical on the life of Frida Kahlo is about to happen. Hundreds of announcements, invitations and emails are to go out. The producers need a dramatic web site for them to visit. Who to do it?

DGS designed a new site with traditional colors and elements of Kahlo’s Mexico to bring the requisite theatrical flair to the show. See how we did it.

The American Red CrossWhat’s the best way to manage the workflow of your web design projects?

Kelly Goto, highly-regarded creative director for many web design firms, has published her first book (now revised in its 2nd edition), Web Redesign 2.0, based largely on lectures on production management and web business practices she’s given over the last three years.

Web Redesign 2.0 coverKelly’s appearances at web conferences are always jammed, and her plain English, down-to-earth lectures are refreshing guides to practices that could only come about from years of trial and error. Based on audiences clamoring for a distillation of her experiences, Kelly finally wrote this book.

Web Redesign 2.0 covers the process of bidding, planning, concepting, producing and publishing web sites for outside clients or internally for corporate design teams, with tons of notes, illustrations and references. It’s essential for managing any web design project, from $5,000 to $200,000 or more. If you work on web design and production, this will be an important addition to your library.
