			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Harmony and Health Acupuncture is a new acupuncture clinic in Central Phoenix where the ancient art of Traditional Chinese Medicine  is combined  with modern medical science to treat a broad range of conditions. Owner Ann Rea consulted MethodLab Media to design a website for her new business that was clean, modern, and pleasing to the eyes.</p>
<p>For H+H, we developed a website built upon the <a href="http://wordpress.org">Wordpress</a> platform giving the look and feel of a traditional site, but with the administrative ability for the client to log-in the backend of the site to make edits and changes herself. The site makes great use of the identity and color scheme we developed for H+H, and has just the right amount of movement at the top of the page to create interest, while keeping the site uncluttered. We&#8217;re excited to be partnering with Ann and Harmony and Health Acupuncture as they bring there terrific services to Central Phoenix.</p>

The Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) is a professional  association representing collegiate men’s golf coaches and their  student-athletes throughout the country.  Established in 1958, this  non-profit organization of more than 700 members is dedicated to  educating, promoting and recognizing both its members and the  student-athletes who participate in collegiate golf at all levels. The Collegiate Match Play Championship is recognized as having one of the top collegiate fields annually and has been held on some truly great venues including Colonial Country Club  in Fort Worth, Texas; Reynolds Plantation the Oconee Course,  Greensboro, Georgia; Mission Inn Golf Resort, Howey In the Hills,  Florida and in 2009 The Farms Golf Club in Rancho Santa Fe, California.</p>
<p>We developed the Collegiate Match Play site with the GCAA in mind, building the site on a Content Management System that allowed them to easily add and edit content during the event itself.  After each round of play, the GCAA team loaded news articles, picture galleries, and scoring updates to the site to inform fans, as well as friends &amp; family members of the participants.</p>
<p>The design highlights the content, while keeping the aesthetic minimal and complementary.  We&#8217;re proud to work with the GCAA and the great events they host around the nation.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ReWire is a new initiative of<a href="http://crmleaders.org"> Church Resource Ministries</a> that works with existing church leaders to help them better engage the culture around them.  They wanted a look that represented their interest in urban environments and the messy reality of our world, yet would still resonate with leaders in local church contexts.</p>
<p>We designed an identity for ReWire that balanced the two worlds that their work represents. We then developed a tri-fold marketing brochure (7&#8243;x7&#8243;) utilizing gritty, urban imagery and clean typography.  Finally, we used elements of the identity &amp; the brochure to design a few header images for use in CRM&#8217;s existing website.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sam Richard is a good friend who makes it no secret that he&#8217;ll someday be putting his name in the hat to run for Phoenix City Council.  Sam is full of great ideas and we think he&#8217;ll bring some fresh air to the usual politics of Phoenix.  We had the privilege of working with Sam to develop a fresh identity for him and his upcoming campaign. He asked us to help design a logo and identity to help him get his name out to the public. The result was a stunning design that cleanly and elegantly communicates the movement forward he hopes to someday provide to the City of Phoenix. We&#8217;re rooting for him as he begins his journey to public service.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re proud to be working with Sam to develop his personal and campaigns identities as he seeks to <em>Move Phoenix Forward with New Energy</em>.</p>

We also wanted a space that was more than just a design studio, but space that was big enough to house a small music venue, an artspace, and a community event space.  The search for this kind of space led us to rent some space in the Bragg&#8217;s Pie Factory on Grand Avenue.  Our space at Grand is large enough for a variety of purposes.  It&#8217;s a warehouse space with a ton of creative potential and it&#8217;s one of a number of artspaces in the building.</p>
<p>As we&#8217;ve been moving in and setting up over the past month, we&#8217;ve developing partnerships with some great organizations that will help us make this space even better than we could alone.  The <a href="http://www.dojocollective.com/">DoJo Collective</a>, a non-profit focused on developing mentoring programs and education is graphic design, are managing a co-working space in our building.  This means that during the week, we&#8217;ll open our offices to those in creative fields who don&#8217;t work in a conventional office setting or who are contract employees.  A co-working space likes this cultivates a unique sense of creative synergy that we hope both inspires us at MethodLab, but also inspires creatives in Phoenix to be that much better.  <a href="http://communitasphx.org/">CommunitasPHX</a>, a faith-based non-profit that has a series of community initiatives focused on the working poor &amp; homeless will also be centering their operations out of our new space.  We&#8217;re also forming a group of friends and volunteers to help us host a series of small concerts and art-related events in our space.</p>
<p>With all of these pieces coming together in once place, we like to think of it as &#8220;a collaborative space&#8221;.  And we&#8217;ve named it fractal.  the name suggests the idea of a few smaller pieces forming together to create something beautiful.  We really believe that to be true about this new space and we hope to include even more small pieces making our collective efforts that much more beautiful. Our co-working space will be open to the public starting the first week in January and our event calendar will start filling up shortly after.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re around downtown tonight, we&#8217;re throwing a <a href="http://http://www.fractalphx.com/2009/12/first-friday-preview-event/">preview event</a> to show off our new digs.  We&#8217;d love to see you and we invite your help in making fractal an important and vital part of the future of Downtown Phoenix.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While the rest of the country may not know it yet, Phoenix has a vibrant creative community.  Sure, Austin, San Francisco, and Raleigh-Durham get the press these days and certainly their creative communities have had more time to develop, but the Valley of the Sun has been coming into it&#8217;s creative own in recent  years.  With an impressive social media community using twitter to re-imagine how a city&#8217;s interacts with each other, and experiments such as the co-working space, <a href="http://gangplankhq.com/">Gangplank</a>, gaining more and more attention, Phoenix is a legitimate home to  a world-class creative community.</p>
<p><a href="http://methodlabmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/phxdw.png"><img align="right" style="margin: 10px;" title="phxdw" src="http://methodlabmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/phxdw.png" alt="phxdw" width="153" height="136" /></a><a href="http://phxdw.com/">Phoenix Design Week</a> is an example of Phoenix&#8217;s interest in developing it&#8217;s creative community and it&#8217;s dedication to becoming playing a role in the national creative fabric of the US. Phoenix Design Week is week-long celebration of the design community in Phoenix. Event organizers describe the week as,</p>
<blockquote><p>is a celebration of the local design community.  It will include a variety of exhibitions, open houses, workshops, presentations, activities, films and other community-growth oriented events.</p></blockquote>
<p>At MethodLab Media, we&#8217;re excited about Phoenix Design Week.  We&#8217;re excited because we&#8217;re designers who live in Phoenix, but we&#8217;re also even more excited because of the collaboration that will result as a result of our being a part of the event.  We&#8217;re convinced that the local creative community must celebrate one another&#8217;s successes and work together to develop the beauty &amp; creativity of our city.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve registered for Design Week, nagged our designers friends to register, and we&#8217;ve even contributed to the event as a <a href="http://phxdw.com/sponsors.php">Founding Supporter</a>.  While we have no doubt Phoenix Design Week will be a success, it will be that much better with you contributing to the creative community of Phoenix.</p>

<p>As with all of our projects, we designed this solution with their administrative team in mind.  The content is easily accessible via an administrative section and the entire site can be edited in-house without a need for knowledge of html.</p>

<p>Our work included an affordable shopping cart solution with an integrated blog feature all styled in a site design that was simple, yet elegantly spoke of the lifestyle of their customers.  The end product was a incredibly intuitive, easy-to-use product that this new company can rely on to help them get their products to the masses while building the ethos and character of their brand.</p>
