New Year, New Work: DEC

(January 4, 2011)

What better way to ring in the new year than with a fresh identity and website.

DEC is an innovative engineering firm that is pushing into some very exciting territory: district energy sharing. Imagine reducing the energy and water consumption for a building, a development and even an entire municipality by as much as 50%. The new techniques and technology being developed – and installed – by DEC are achieving some impressive results, but their identity and presentation wasn’t reflecting this.

I’ve been working with Gary McCartie Productions over the past year to create a completely new identity for DEC and the first use it’s been put to is their new website (developed by Ben Leather).

I’ll have more details soon, but this was a tricky and rewarding project that introduces an unusual but satisfying navigation system that encourages reading over skimming. It is also optimized for touchscreen browsers, so check it out on your phone or iPad.
