We start with Ben (the artist) creating the miniature water color painting of the mountain snow scene, the centerpiece of the message.

Now the fun begins, here Keith and Ben create the warm interior setting, complete with twinkling lights on the tree and a fire in the fireplace.

Let it snow Joe. Each flake was hand cut, positioned

and last but not least, through the magic of Joe’s editing, behold the final product…ENJOY!

Sometimes a request may come in to create a holiday-themed video or animation. Check out this concept stop animation we made using an iPhone 4 to present to our client. The photo above shows how Ben Moffett created a stand for the iPhone to keep it in place, and then he began to paint a 1.5″ x 1.5″ painting, that was later added to a room scene. Come back in the next couple of weeks to see the final product, and who we did it for.

During the Spring of 2011, Drum Creative had the privilege to work with Canal Insurance to design and  develop a 1.0 Version of an iPhone and Android App. Drum partnered with an application software developer to help with the navigation programming, and programming features in the Apps. We began the process by meeting with Canal’s claims management team and the programmers to discuss the functionality and navigation of the the Apps. Together, we needed to answer the following core questions to create the infrastructure of the App:
1) What will the user see on the home page when they launch the App?
2) How will the user navigate through the App once they leave the home page?
3) What critical functions do we want on each page?
Once we answered these questions, we began the process of designing the App and building the navigation for each page based on the discovery phase. We provided an iPhone  screen storyboard of each page that was viewed within the app, and illustrated each interactive step the user would see and be required to perform.

After we received approval from Canal, we began to implement the design into the programming. When programming was completed, we ran a beta test of the App with Canal in a meeting room for them to approve the launch of the App. Once the App was approved, we walked Canal through the description process, created the various display icons that were needed for the app store, and administered all of the necessary submissions required for each marketplace. The uploading process was almost immediate on the Android market, but it took a few days to go through Apple’s approval process.

Be looking for version 2.0 this coming Fall…

It’s always exciting when we take on a new client, and it’s even more exciting when we’re able to work with a group that is passionate about what they do. Performance QSA’s goal is to help their clients “Train Like an Athlete,” and they do just that. Our job was to help them fine tune their branding from the inside to the outside. We started by redesigning their website, and helped them segment their training in to three distinct categories, Personal Training, Women’s Bootcamp, and Athletic Training. To help differentiate between categories, we visually presented those segments through color separation, and imagery. We provided QSA a content managed solution that would allow them full control of their website. No more call the web guy and waiting 2 weeks for the change to be made.

There is much more to come with Performance QSA, so keep your eye on them, and if you want to get back in shape, or become the best athlete you can be, start by going to their website www.greenvillepersonaltrainers.com

Developing character for brands or services can take on many forms. In Greenville Rec’s case, it came in the form of Petey the penguin, Darby the otter, Homer the duck and Clyde the dolphin.  Greenville Rec chose Drum to develop a family of characters to help build recognition and promote  their family of parks among the community.

Putting a Face with a Name

With the opening of two new waterparks just 5 months away and the marketing plan for the family of 4 parks to be determined, Drum went to work. First step, develop consistency among each of the park logos and bring them together as a promotable family. Drum chose an illustator and style to accomplish this goal.

It’s Show Time!

Each character was intergrated with their respective park name and the logos were completed for 4 parks. Next, all 4 characters needed to be developed as a family for cross promotion purposes, and the REC’N CREW brand was born. Drum also developed a REC’N CREW Kid’s Club for birthdays and special events, that added Lucky the horse to round out the total package.

Marketing to the Community

Now the real fun begins. Signs, mascots, grand opening announcements, season passes, exclusive rental offers, corporate and non profit sales packages, public relations and cross promotions, all had to be designed, produced and in the market 5 weeks prior to summer season opening. Mission Accomplished!
