Luminature.net is a new site geared at European and North American healthcare providers that provides information and training for advanced phototherapy techniques.  These techniques range from cessation therapys to wound healing.  

Headed by Anita Saltmarche (RN, BScN, MHSc) the Luminature.net site will bring information, training resources, online learning programs and projects to a single location on the internet.   At this early stage of it’s life it contains only the information relating to smoking cessation training and some general information about phototherapy – but soon it will be full of training activites and programs and much more information. 

Created with only javascript, images and code this minimal and beautiful site can be viewed on your computer or on your smart phone.

Cypheraudio.com is a sound design and production studio that makes sick, wicked, and nasty sound-bombs for videos, TV shows, art pieces, commercials, and more!

John D. Black, owner of Cypheraudio came to MCM-COM with a requirment to build a micro CMS system that will allow him to add videos and images along with descriptions for newly added projects.  MCM-COM built a PHP based Micro CMS system that allows John to add new work, edit existing work, enable or disable current proejects and sort them for display on the main page. 

The clean look and feel of the site was great to work with and the result is an easy to update site just chock full of great videos and music.

Go have a listen and enjoy the new Cypheraudio.com.

We were approached by Marc Moore of Koda Media Group in early July to see if we were interested in working on a BMO interactive web tool that was already launched but needed to be taken to the next level for v2.

We agreed and were put to work on making several changes and updates to an already existing (and extremely well put together) Flash application.  Over first two weeks of July we spent many an hour creating new volume sliders, pre-loaders, modifying animation sequences, upgrading graphics and copy and generally having a ball! (Did we say that this site was EXTREMELY well done to begin with?)

The tool is very much like a guided tour of things you need to think about to ensure you have a safe and prosperous retirement.  You are guided through it by several videos featuring Dr. Amy D’Aprix who is the BMO Life Transition Consultant.

The site was done in Flash and coded using ActionScript 3.0.  It loads data externally from XML and also uses external Flash Videos throughout.  It takes advantage of several new features found in ActionScript 3 and is an excellent example of the robust and scalable applications that can be created with Flash nowadays.

You can view the site here in English.

The C-Watch is a nifty Dick Tracy type watch that doubles as a cell phone.

Well when we saw that we literally threw our iPhones and Casios out the window and slapped these bad boys on. Then we were told that they needed to be sold so we went without phones for a while.

The C-Watch website was required for a special holiday push in North America and as such needed to be created and produced in a very short amount of time.

MCM-COM, charged with this task went across the office to Felix W. of Helios Design Labs and begged him to slap together a site slick enough for a watch that you talk into. (BTW it plays MP3’s too!) Not only did they put together a great site but they also put together a nifty 360 degree view of the watch and even added some nice reflections to it.

That coupled with re-branding work, lots of photography and after effects, and a couple sleepless nights and voila… you have http://www.cwatch.tv – go have a look now. But you can’t buy one because they are sold out. A new design is on it’s way!

Xmarks Website

Auditory Relation:   Bloc Party – Silent Alarm (Japan Bonus Tracks)

Duration: The month of February (pretty much)

Location : http://www.xmarks.ca

What We Did: Built the 80 separate flash movies, wrote the 1000 or so lines of code, built the ASP.NET wrapper site that manages enquiries and downloads, and we also are hosting the site at our Tier 1 data center. 

We were approached by David Saltmarche in late January 2009.  He showed up at our door with literally 500 megabytes of 150dpi Photoshop files in “perfect register” as he likes to say.   We invited him in, he met the dogs and 2 hours later the Xmarks idea was conveyed to us. 

From I think about the second PSD we looked at we knew that we wanted this project.  The visual details alone were enough to get our juices flowing.  Not to mention the fact that this man, this classically trained artist, had already provided us with better quality assets than most of the art directors running major agencies can even offer.

So, about a month later, and after listening (almost exclusively) to Bloc Party’s Silent Alarm album about 100 times – out popped the Xmarks.ca site. 

The site itself showcases the collection of David Saltmarches’ Xmarks which are a collection of ingenuously assembled 4 or 16 panel images taken of natural occurring X formations in Northern Ontario islands.  But – like the art itself – the site is so much more than pretty pictures.   Cruise the different areas of the site to understand what we mean.  From Xmarks as Object – a visual representation of the assembly and components that come with each Xmark, to the “As Installed” section – where you can see these “objects du art” installed in inspiring and thought provoking situations.  Then off to “The Marks” where you can go through all 48 unique images, see them up close, and of course – reserve your spot for limited edition numbering and enquire about the Xmarks. 

Truly a unique and interesting site created for a very unique and interesting artist.
