Jeff’s design was very well received by both the Cam­pus Cru­sade staff–the ones who point stu­dents to the site–and by the stu­dents who are the true users of the site. These groups have very dif­fer­ent val­ues and needs, which high­lights what an out­stand­ing job that Jeff did to meet their needs.”
Dan Allan, St. Louis Metro Direc­tor and Sum­mer Project Mar­ket­ing Team, Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ

My team, the­LAB was hired to cre­ate a pro­mo­tional pack­age for Cam­pus Cru­sade for Christ sum­mer mis­sion projects. Cam­pus Cru­sade offers over 150 dif­fer­ent projects rang­ing from 1 week to 13 weeks. Stu­dents receive train­ing in lead­er­ship and min­istry skills.

The pro­mo­tional pack­age includes sev­eral videos, a print brochure, Web site, and a motion design project that will allow stu­dents add their faces to one of the videos. One of the con­straints of the Web design was that it fit into the visual design of the package.

Scope

  • Site con­cept and redesign using visual assets from other parts of the pro­mo­tional package
  • XTML and CSS coding
  • Revised site architecture
  • Sug­ges­tions of addi­tional con­tent to enhance com­mu­ni­ca­tion to par­ents of poten­tial applicants

Key Ben­e­fits

  • Fits cohe­sively with the rest of the pro­mo­tional package
  • Much more cheery and fun design than pre­vi­ous version
  • Clear hier­ar­chy on the homepage

Tech­nol­ogy

  • sIFR for headlines
  • Flash video player
  • Dynam­i­cally gen­er­ated con­tent for project listings
  • Flash map with dynamic content
