As an advisory business, Armstrong Bonham Carter holds the key to success for many an organization. In a way, so do we -as a design agency. For the occasion, we put on our slick suits and treated them to some pure and elegant interface designs, recalling the smell of success, grandeur and professionalism. Yes, we do high-class too!
Luc Van Acker, musical centipede and pioneer, needed himself a webspot. One that has balls, one that reflects his personality, his current and past activities. One that is noisy, rebellious, rough and somewhat sharp-edged. Yeah, well… just our piece of cake!
Since Live Nation is responsible for most of the musical actvity in Belgium, they absolutely needed a neatly organized online location listing all this earcandy.

In order to promote their very own and very new MasterCard, BASE asked us to come up with a fingerlickin’ concept. So we did. We created the fictional character Guy, who becomes hugely popular with his family and friends for treating them to all sorts of MasterCard benefits.

Storing archeological finds in a museum is a wise idea, for many reasons, but dispalying them online –in a clear, informative environment- as well is an even better idea. The Dutch city of Breda decided to collect its archeological heritage in an online database, where it is accessible for a large audience, and easily browsable by period, by theme, etc. This concept is available for adaptation by other cities.
Armstrong Management Group is a London-based headhunters agency. They don’t just hunt any heads however: specialized in executive career building, we’re talking CEO-worthy heads here. So, evidently, their website needed to be one that is attractive to this specific kind of heads. This clear, classy and transparent design should do the trick, we think.
When designing for an artist, there’s one rule to keep in mind: never steal his spotlight. Which is why, for the portfolio-site of photographer Jean Van Cleemput, we pulled out some black magic and a dark room-esque scenery to optimally frame his colourful pieces of art. Yes, we can be humble at times.
Kunstbende is a recognized arts contest where youngsters join the race to a spot in the spotlights. We came up with a supersmooth and -dare we say?- hip, racetrack-based and crash-proof website, stimulating those ambitious young ones to hit the road to fame and fabulousness.
