I Play Math Games

admin — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:26:24 +0000

I Play Math Games is a site dedicated to making math fun. Historically this has been accomplished with math games in workbooks and downloadable pdf’s, however the future is in flash games for computers and in-class touch screens, mobile apps, and iPad apps. Clockwork has worked with I Play Math Games on both the web site as well as flash, iPhone, and iPad versions of one of the most popular games: Tic Tac Math.

While working on the I Play Math Games web site, Clockwork was also developing an interactive version of one of their most popular games: Tic Tac Math. What was once just a downloadable pdf is now an engaging interactive game available in flash online and as apps for the iPhone and iPad.

Nice Ride Minnesota

admin — Sat, 29 May 2010 21:35:45 +0000

Nice Ride MN is a new non-profit created to bring public bike sharing to the Twin Cities. Similar programs exist in Montreal and Paris, but this is the first of it’s kind in the states. Being a cyclist myself this was a really fun project to work on, and I’m particularly excited for the city tours that Nice Ride is putting together.

Clockworklings

Clockworklings can mean one of two things: children of Clockworkers, or in this case Clockwork iPhone apps. Clockworklings.com was created to showcase these iPhone apps and what once was a one page flash site (designed/built by the ever-talented Eric Hanson) is now a microsite powered by the Clockwork AMM.

In addition to designing the fleshed out microsite, I’ve had the pleasure of working on the design for several of the apps themselves. With Rocket Hunter I created the branding as well as the app UI, for Topic Tiles I worked on the UI, and I served as Creative Director on the In the Land of Cocktails app.

Clockwork

Something that had been discussed since my joining Clockwork in 2007 was the redesign of clockwork.net. In 2009 we finally made it happen. Probably the biggest single motivation for the redesign was to move away from the flash site and really use our content management system to it’s full potential. In addition we wanted to better integrate social media including the #clockwork twitter feed, revamped blog and better communicate our core capabilities.

From a design standpoint, we decided to shift from the primarily dark theme of the last site to a simplified look and feel with plenty of whitespace. However, we didn’t want to lose the personality of our last site, something that we decided to keep in the design details as well as bringing in profiles for the whole team. There are also quite a few gems sprinkled throughout the site.

I had the pleasure of working with the Minneapolis Youth Coordinating Board on a complete redesign. With a clean slate we redesigned the identity system, with a primary logo aimed at the parents and policy makers and introduced a secondary logo to appeal to the youth. The web site itself is similarly divided with main sections for parents and policy makers as well as a section dedicated to the youth.

Brew52

Brew52 was a great experiment. Sampling 52 different Minnesota brews (one for each week of the 2008 year) proved to be a little bit much, but we had some great times. There were some very well-received beers, and others that couldn’t seem to catch a break. The best beers, however, were those that we tasted together during several meet-ups throughout the year. All in all, there were 173 participants (89 that reviewed beer), 636 beer reviews, and obviously 52 local Minnesota beers tasted.

House of Balls

admin — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 21:09:46 +0000

If you’re ever in Minneapolis you owe it to yourself to check out Allen Christian’s studio at 212 3rd Avenue North. Named the House of Balls, he describes it as “an open window to my life” and during most hours of the day it’s free and open to the public. Or if you ever stop by Clockwork you can check out our “Green” conference room that Allen still considers a work in progress. You’ll be treated to devils, rats, mermaids and shark teeth just to name a few. The site is an attempt to capture a bit of Allen’s personality, but to truly let the work itself do most of the talking.
