Brand Identity + Web App Prototype

Conceptual web design for a Colorado based media production company, focused on employee clarity, cross-location communication, and a smoother, friendlier customer experience.

The Brief

Establish a classic identity for Media Masters that communicates, credibility, clarity, historic and modern media expertise.

Reflect that update in the designs for an internal web app that encourages cross-communication between different departments within the organization.

Maintain some aspects of the original web app to allow for easier adoption by users.

Avoid generic ‘camera icon’ branding and create a scalable system usable across print and digital.

Ensure reach to larger span of audience (previous ‘older’ audience and to a more digitally driven ‘younger’ group of potential clients.

Ensure a smoother transition from old project tracking system to newer one amongst employee user group.

The Strategy

Target Audience:

The first is the employee audience that is targeted with a more communicative web app, allowing for easier tracking of trappings of each project at each location and for easier communication between departments. The second is the existing group of small business, private film artists, ad and marketing agencies looking for access to recording equipment, project management, and digitization services. The third group is a new group of clients is focused more on equipment access, editing, and high resolution recordings (both audio and video/photo).
