Don’t really know this one. But I think it says “Hi” … the interesting part i the yellow, kind of pos/neg letters/shapes at the same time.

Signes, sealed, delivered. The brand new site for production company Showtime is up.

One of the nice things with this projects was that we incorporated the sIFR-technology for the typography on the site. It did not run as smooth as expected, but after a lot of adjusting, fixing and adaptation it finally worked.

Is the building gone?

One of my clients has a IT department with insane security restrictions. This means that some of us freelancers can’t use our webb-based e-mail, a lot of sites is blocked and so on. At one time the IT department opended thair warm and friendly arms to us and told us to list all the non-acessible URLs that we needed access to and after that they would run a security-rating to see if they could open the ports for us.

So a PM set up a Excel-file, put it on the “project-server” where all the PMs store their stuff and launched the “project” by sending us an e-mail with the request to fill the Excel file with our non-accessible urls.

The result is, since the creative-staff can’t access the PM server, that 7-8 people has to get someone with access to the server to send them the Excel-file, open it, put the URLs in there, save it and send it back to the person with access to the server. After that the PM has to compile the 7-8 different Excel-files back into one and send that one to the IT-department.

Ruffly that would be 7-8 people spending about 30 minutes getting the Excel-file, 10 minutes inserting the URL and sending it back, the access-persons will spend 10 minutes each putting the file on the server. After that the PM will spend lets say 30 minutes compiling the file.
Result: 6 hours locked up into the “project” not to mention all the disturbances for everyone involved.

The alternate solution would be the webb-based project-managed solution; IT sets up a task (10 min), PM sends it to everyone it concerns (10 min). Everyone submits their URLs (8×10 min) then the PM sends a “Go” to the IT-department that log in and gathers the URLs (another 10-30 min).
Result: maximum 2 hours of work and minimal disturbances.

… so not beeing online is costing a lot of money.
