Incorporated in the sketchbook idea is a narrative intended to demonstrate how the designer’s day-to-day observations influenced and inspired different aspects of the vehicle’s design.</p> <p>It was an approach that was not solely focused on the Car, but rather everyday elements of information that is relatable, but can also stand alone in terms of interest.</p> <p>The result:  a thoughtful look at how Hyundai’s first European designed CUV embodies an inspired design.</p> <p>The “inspirational” content is brought to life through small animations and audio and video clips - all of which are shareable.</p> <p>What also makes this particularly cool is that the content and the approach we took to building the site allowed for speedy and efficient development, along with some great technical programming elements and techniques.</p> <p>We used Cufón - a modern Web font rendering technique that is Web standards-friendly and accessible. This makes the site’s “Cufóned” text completely accessible to site visitors using assistive-technology to experience the site, and it optimizes the site for search engine indexing.</p> <p>This allowed us to not have to rely solely on Flash or images, but rather, plain HTML, which makes it easy to edit copy and for users’ browsers to output the text in the font we specified using Javascript.</p> <p>We were able to reuse most of the creative assets for the French version, reducing the time it took to deploy the French site. We only had to swap in the copy and tweak the positioning. By not relying solely on Flash, we were able to follow proper web standards while building the site.<br/><br/>A series of 7 supporting rich media banners were created as a tease to the site. Using short videos, we tied specific inspirations to content on the site.</p> <!--EndFragment-->http://mighty.ca/post/393391954http://mighty.ca/post/393391954Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:55:02 -0500<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="533" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9360321&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF"><param name="quality" value="best" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="scale" value="showAll" /><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=9360321&server=vimeo.com&fullscreen=1&show_title=1&show_byline=0&show_portrait=0&color=00ADEF" /></object><br/><br/><p>The invasion of dragons in Mighty continues.

Apparently, they came from the Mighty Elves …but where they really came from will forever remain a mystery. My podmate Nick already completed his, so filled with envy, I decided that it was time to build mine too. As you can see in the photos, I’m cheating and referencing his completed model. The next picture is the progress I’ve made to date (I’m pretty proud of it!). It’ll take me a bit of time, but I’ll be sure to post my progress regularly :)</p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/nrHFm.jpg" align="middle" height="337" width="450"/></p> <p><img src="http://imgur.com/RSTFH.jpg" align="middle" height="337" width="450"/></p>http://mighty.ca/post/365556452http://mighty.ca/post/365556452Mon, 01 Feb 2010 15:29:00 -0500DragonModel Kit<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx6986hBdu1qa6qfio1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wow.
