Design and development of the new Bond MFG website. Bond is a outdoors tool and furniture manufacturer who works with the likes of Black and Decker, Home Depot and “Pink.” In an effort to promote their brand, create a unifying and lifestyle (read glossy) feel they wanted to redesign their site to focus on large lifestyle photos, essential product information and a quick and easy customer satisfaction form.

Here at O&A we decided to give the homepage a flash accordion image viewer that showcased the products and promoted hyperlinks to each product category. On each individual page we promoted non-reloading jQuery tools to switch between portions and add a “flash like” movie feel to the images.

Designed, proofed and created “100% Capoeira Brasil” T-Shirt. Goals were to create a T-Shirt that used the both the design and the colors of the Brazilian flag, an image of a Capoeirista doing a recognizable Capoeira move and include a phrase that would stick in the viewers mind. With this we came up with the idea to use the Brazilian flag within the outline of a Capoeirista and the tag line “100% Capoeira Brasil” to be a visual and textual representation of what Capoeira is.
