Carmex Lip Balm

About a year ago, I was part of a team that created the new Carma Labs website.
I worked with the designers, and took all their artwork, and built this site in SwishMax.

Over the past couple weeks, I got a chance to practice some small amount of my design skills.
A new phrase “It Protects” was added to the Carmex tag line, and I got to design the art for that. So that new bit was added to the Intro, Visual Timeline, and Product(one of the now 4, random images that start the product display area) pages.
Tightened up the News pages, and put in some new stuff.
More changes are in the works, but I can show this much of what’s to come.

Here’s a cool update I just did for Carmex Lip Balm :slight_smile:

Did a neat little animation for the main page.

It only plays the one time, so if you’d like to see it over and over again, check this one out.
Just click on it to re-play the anima…

I can’t enter, but some of 'ya all can.
Have fun :wink:

That’s pretty horrible. Total waste of Flash. And as mentioned, you didnt pull off the ‘retro’ look, it just looks shoddy, poorly designed and dated. Seriously the body copy’s typography is atrocious. And little things like the aliasing on scaled images bother me.

I’m sorry, this really is sub-par if you ask me.

That animation is kinda neat though, I do like that :slight_smile:

Oh well…
Thanks very much for the feedback.
It is always appreciated.

It’s a bit funny to me.
About half the people I have shown this to over the past couple years it’s been live,
like it a lot, and about half simply hate it. I very much wish I could take credit for the design
of this site, but alas that honor belongs to Mercury Communication.
All I did was the anima/programming.

I guess the biggest reason I bumped this up to begin with, was because of the video contest.
I figured the students around these parts might be interested in that bit, regardless of the design of the site.

Still, I am looking forward to seeing all the entries.
If anybody from here enters, best of luck to 'ya :slight_smile:

Share the tinkle… Hehe!

… I’m only 5 years old! :smiley:

I think it looks pretty neat.

Not crazy about the movement though, I would have loved this site in CSS. If you want to use flash you need to… flash it up a bit :stuck_out_tongue:
