Awesome Factor Deux

Posted by Shaza Hakim on June 2, 2009

The initial idea of Stampede as a place where inspiring people get to practice work they love is still very much the core of what we do. We actively seek the right people to complement our in-house talents and Stampede is happy to announce the addition of two awesome new team members: Anita Zein and See Guo Lin.

You’ll see plenty of Anita in project management and quality review, where every project must pass a set of internal reviews before certified fit for client release. I have a feeling her to-do list will be nothing short of legendary here at Stampede. She can be reached at anita@stampede-design.com.

Guo Lin outshined Stampede’s recent campus interview and by far the youngest in the team. Barely into his second day at work, the guy’s enthusiasm is contagious. Together with Dov and Shaiful, Guo Lin completes Stampede’s own trio of bros. Guo Lin can be reached at guolin@stampede-design.com.

The Modal Rebrand

Posted by Shaza Hakim on June 2, 2009

“Nailing the new color theme, getting the typography right, translating pixel details and white space accurately into xhtml/css, applying subtle mootools effect without compromising originality of the design…”

Shaza Hakim writes about the challenges in designing Modal and how a good partnership makes it all more fun. Shaza is the Creative Lead at Stampede.

Way to go Modal, Inc. for their new rebrand!

Modal and Stampede have been partners for 3 years, way back when Stampede was few months old. Together the two firms had worked on many projects that ranged from corporate web presence to user interface development. The guys at Modal are not only breathtakingly good in defining user experience that works, they are simply great people to work with too.

As such, we were ecstatic to be involved in the Modal’s new site redesign and development. Designing with Modal will always be series of rewarding challenges. And especially so in this particular project.

Nailing the new color theme, getting the typography right, translating pixel details and white space accurately into xhtml/css, applying subtle mootools effect without compromising originality of the design – these were all projects in their own right. And after barely 10 days of development (awesome work yet again, Shaiful) the website was launched in – what we like to think – all its splendour.

See the process of Modal rebranding chronicled here and the buzz on Twitter. We’ve definitely had a blast designing and developing the site. From the rest of us at Stampede, congratulations to the team at Modal for the awesome rebranding experience!
