Wanna go play nanny in the States? Feed orphans in Africa? Spice up your French in Paris? Switch rooms with a student in Hong Kong? Then pack your bags and check in for some testimonials, tips & tricks at ‘Go Strange’: a Design is Dead creation for JINT vzw.

Always in for a wacky Design is Dead creation, Pienternet assigned us to create an online quiz to kickstart the new school year in a fun yet educational way. Which led to the creation of the Ass Kiss Class: a game where you have to answer as correct and fast as possible to please the teach and win some Pienternetastic prizes.

With the financial crisis reaching wuthering heights, finding a job becomes a mission more impossible than ever for young people. Pienternet asked us to create an online portal that provides those transit-people with some guidance in the big bad world called “the labour market”. Thanks to our witty designers, navigating vacancies, writing résumés and scanning your rights and duties becomes a piece of cake. Very tasty cake, for that matter.

In a world ruled by K3 and Mega Mindy, bringing classical music to children is quite a challenge. Luckily, DeFilharmonie decided to team up with Design is Dead for the apparent mission impossible to make a website for children about their orchestra. We mixed, matched, animated and created a fun, playful and very intuitive discovery tour through the wonderful world of violins and wind sections. It earned us –amongst others- an honourable record in Weekend Knack magazine. Beat that, Mega Mindy!

To promote the carefully redesigned Pienternet pages, we launched the “SmartAss”-story, seeking for the craziest images and stories possible. Inspiration is to be found and posted on the SmartAss minisite. A bunch of artistically trashed up webpages and a golden tip if you’re seeking for some friday afternoon entertainment!  Think of crazy inventions, hilarious situations, creative Rednecks and amazing stories.

In order to create some noise and visibility around Pienternet’s SmartAss campaign, our designers went completely loose, which resulted in a series of postcards that many a youngster would kill for and a flyer that will probably never leave the pocket of their pants again.

For the launch of the supercalifragalistic Pienternet website, we hosted a virtual cocktail party. During a three-hour live streaming, visitors were repeatedly invited to come and join the very happy hour at our headquarters, or to share the joy from a distance by raising a glass behind their own PC. Never knew that F11 could cause such a hangover!

Designing a kickass website that appeals to the young and restless? Now, that’s our cup of tea! We developed a crazy, contemporary and extremely userfriendly blog to guide them youngsters through the jungle of life, school and work with a hint of humour: Pienternet. After a thorough usabilty-analysis, we delivered a product that put a big smile on the client’s face, and enlightened many a student and teacher.

When Sancta Media decided to cross media and borders with this cultural project for kids, we gladly crossed those borders with them. Gently trashing up the cultural heritage of China, Mexico, Mali and India, we came up with a street-artistic website and some Design is Dead-cool animations.
