prius site wins fwa site of the day
quick note — the Prius experience microsite is the FWA site of the day for may 26, 2009.
huge thanks to the fwa, and congrats to all team members at evb, saatchi, and laika.
behind the scenes at atlantico.
Korneel Bouman and I ran Atlantico out of a loft space in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Our factory was in Portugal, and our business partner (Luis de Oliveira from De La Espada) was based in England. While many things can be done remotely, refining the design of fifteen modern furniture pieces isn’t one of them. So Korneel and I spent a week with Luis in both London and Portugal — ensuring that production of initial prototypes was going well, tweaking the design, and getting to know the personalities at the factory.

prius.
for the past two and a half months, i’ve been holed up at EVB with my team, cranking away on an absolutely amazing site. it’s been an interesting experience — at times painful and emotional, at other times fun and exciting.
the effort finally paid off today, when we launched the experience website for the 2010 toyota prius.
we worked with an amazing team at saatchi la, and one of the best cg studios in the business, laika. everyone is extremely proud of this site, and rightfully so — it’s one hell of an accomplishment.
yet another website redesign.
the old husani.com was too dark. i’ve changed that.
yay.
enjoy the reel.
and i promise to actually use this blog more. really, this time.
website redesign. yay.
i spent a lot of time converting the old husani.com into a wordpress template. it was my first time doing such a customized wordpress build, so i ended up editing quite a bit of the core. wanting the ability to upgrade when required, i recently decided to start over — this time, not touching the core and simply making a theme.
granted, there’s some backend work happening in the theme (mainly for connecting press/award pages with portfolio entries), but now i can safely upgrade. i also decided to re-skin things and make it a bit less boring.
welcome to husani.com v8. and, you know, the future and stuff.
(updated to add: i haven’t done a full IE6/IE7 test yet, so apologizes if things are … weird, in a microsoft-browsers-suck sort of way.)
