Jamie Lipe is the artist behind Awakening Records. The inspiration for this design came about from the relationship Pixelruum has with Jamie. We know that she is an extremely diversely talented musician. We also know that in complement to that diversity, her perspective on the world is very black and white. When we were working with her design, the inspiration for a tree came. And then almost by accident, we overlayed a picture of a tree from the fiery fall season on top of a picture of the same tree from the very black and white winter season. And suddenly the inspiration was born. Out of a heart of clarity, contrast, black & white, comes a fiery edge that brings awakening to everything it touches. Surrounding that is a diversity of expression that truly visualizes the life and excitement and energy Jamie expresses in her music.

Her response? "I LOVE the tree! It has so much meaning to me...... and you had no idea it did....i love when holy spirit does that. I hadn't mentioned this to you, but..."

Turns out she had been reading some things that were really speaking to her using the imagery of a tree. Another story told... we love what we do.

CapitalCitiesTour.com is a gathering point online for a movement that is holding gatherings in capital cities all over this nation during the election year of 2008. Another friend (and client), we are in sync with the heart of this tour, whose purpose is to ignite the hearts of people who pray and want to see our nation be all she can be in the eyes of God. We had a special task of creating a place online which reflects the nature of these gatherings. People who have spent their lives on prayer for certain issues in regions of this nation needed a place to come together, trade notes, collaborate, and even experience the meetings live on the web if they are not able to fly in for the gathering. Powerful design that reflects the ambassadorial nature of the mission along with high end technology that includes a wiki, blog, and live broadcasts of the meetings make the CCT website a story that literally tells itself, progressively, ongoingly, every day. And with logo/video contributions from other people with the same passion for this movement (like our friends at ADventureMarketing.com), it's been a fun collaboration of vision. We're always up for projects like this that cause us to reach for the depths... And this one has its own sense of patriotic and Christian duty to motivate us!

Higher Rock has grown with us since nearly the beginning. One of our very first clients, Ryan has allowed us to take his site to the edge of creativity. His ministry is all about having a tangible faith and helping young people grab hold of that higher power. So his site had to be tangible and three dimensional. He gets consistent praise for the website because the message he's trying to get out to his audience is being perpetually spoken, both by his heartfelt content and the secondary message in the art.

We are also excited to be helping him tell the story about his new discipleship school, which offers the core of his message in a more intense and structured setting. We can't wait to see what he does next. As long as he has passion, we'll have the raw materials necessary for great ideas that will express and promote that message. We recently launched his podcast on iTunes. Go check him out and catch a glimpse of his heart.

We've worked with Rally Call since 2000. In fact, Rally Call's website was our pioneer project. We took this project on when we had no idea what we were doing on the internet, and over the years we've made it our goal to keep this project close to our hearts and out on the front lines of what we have to offer as a company. After about seven years or so of helping this project evolve, we came up with something that we feel truly expresses the heart of this ministry in all its complexity. It might sound like a long time, but like in marriage, you keep getting to know each other every day. At least if you're having fun. Visually, we were going for modern, but Texas, with Austin flavor, prophetically expressing the meaning of the "rally call" with the silver trumpet. The name comes from Nehemiah's rallying cry when he would sound the trumpet to summon the builders. The ministry is all about the need to be both a builder and a warrior at the same time. The heart of the building and warring is to see Austin redeemed, among other things. The ministry is gifted in releasing the kind of worship/sound that inspires people to success in this mission. So the website had to encompass all of this. Equipping, Music, Writing, and Artwork that all inspire and relate the mission to the viewers. We're proud to say we work with this type of comprehensive outlook when working on our clients' projects. We just love it when a plan comes together.
