For some time now, my friends (Clay, Eric, Ryan, Will, and Robbie) and I have been working on an exciting project. One of the many reasons I got into the design field was to create. Not just create compelling designs but to solve creative problems.

WriteMinds is our answer to the problem: “How can we make writing on a computer easier and…awesome-er?” “After a good long think, a bunch of meetings around a table in an office we no longer have, and a whole heck of a lot of calls, we came up with a different sort of thing, correcting a smaller problem: it sorta sucks to write on a computer. I’ve tried Scrivener, Writeroom, Ommwriter, Microsoft Word, Pages, Textedit, and others, and none of them really made sense. They all either did too much or not enough. And with Google Wave and Basecamp around, the collaboration thing is/will be nailed” (Clay Parker Jones).

WriteMinds Logo Concept:

WriteMinds Site Concept:

So now that we have gotten the funding out of the way and the development underway, we’re ready to start talking about it. Below is a glimpse into all that WriteMinds is and what you can expect to see. From the logo to the homepage, the designs are coming along nicely and am very excited to get it all finished. The new logo was designed around the idea of “write outside the box.” The site design was focusing around the idea behind the product. “Make it easy. Make it awesome.  Make a simple writing app.” Also, tried to relate the traditional writing process to the digital space by using a paper texture background and using a serif font for copy.So that’s about it for now. Don’t want to share too much right now. Would love to know what you think. And of course, stay tuned for more.

Today launched the MOUSTACHETTE site. Here is just a sneak peak of the new homepage for the short film, which was written, directed and stars Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.  The movie also stars Pete Wentz of FOB and Ryan Key of Yellowcard.

MOUSTACHETTE is a tale of love, art, and wading through all of life’s bulls*!t. “That which does not kill us, only makes us stronger”…yeah, right. Join Eugene as he searches for truth, integrity, and a blueberry milkshake.

Today is the launch of the MOUSTACHETTE Blog with updates to follow to each section of the site. The site will have a lot of fun, exciting flash animations, an image gallery of the cast and crew and a few fun marketing efforts (Moustach Me & Irritants) which will allow its fans to participate and show their support. Remember to keep checking in daily to see how the site develops and come alive.

A special thanks goes out to thirtysevenclick, hustlewood and treeline interactive for making this all happen. We all hope you enjoy the site and most importantly the movie.

Hustlewood is gett’n’ some lov’n’. H3 showed up on NOTCOT.ORG this morning. Pretty awesome to see that people are reacting well to the site design,  h3’s ideas and h3’s work process. Really excited to see h3’s site is up, runn’n’ & work’n’.

 Hustlewood is up and running. Went live on a Friday evening. That should tell you something. If you ever  need a little help coming up with ideas, a design for that idea and how to market that idea, H3 can help. H3 is always down to help out anyone large or small. We do this because of the all love for a good challenge, to keep our tools sharp and to learn more. To see what’s happening on a more daily basis, check out Th3 Wood. Enjoy it!

Here’s the NEW hustlewood site. It’s in development right now. Should be something else.
