Last week we saw the launch of the custom website we created for Word Refuge. Word Refuge is a boutique advertising shop specializing in Creative SEO Copywriting Services. It was both a privilege and an honor to work on this site. We started from a blank slate on this project and saw it through from stage one. From the branding to the content management system, we built the complete package for Word Refuge and it payed off ten fold. We have already received tons of great feedback on the site along with features on CSSMania, The Best Designs, The CSS Awards, and many many more. So don’t waste any time and go check out Word Refuge!

Also with the completion of Word Refuge we have a new begun yet another blank slate project that has landed on our desks and this one has us excited beyond belief! The project is called Private Grave and is being created for illustrator / aspiring tattoo artist Albert Grave. We can’t show off any design or development work just quite yet but you can check the out the logo for the project now in our Identity section.

We have seen a huge surge in new project leads over the summer but that doesn’t mean we aren’t here to tackle your next project. So give us a shout, we would love to hear from you!

This is a must have if you are a texture fan and we are sure you will love them. We sure do!

A couple of months back we were contacted by Sons of Nero, a design agency who we have kept up with and admired through the years and in their own right are one hundred percent on top of their game. They approached us to create a website for a band called Every Time I Die. Being listeners of this band made this opportunity even more sweet so we jumped right on it. From design, to development, to the CMS we carefully attacked the project with as much precision as possible and wanted to make it something to remember, so go check out the site HERE!

Yes this news post is short but we have been working like crazy and can’t wait to show off the new work this summer. From new album art, to new logos, and new websites. It’s all coming!

Keep tuning in..

Over the past year we have had the opportunity to work with so many original and hard working businesses. From creating branding for Photographers, CD packaging for bands, to full custom websites for international music composers. Our firm did ( and is still doing ) exactly what we wanted it to do. Bring clients that knew what they wanted with their brand and take it to the next level. It has been both an honor and a privilege working with these individuals and teams and we can’t wait to see what the next year of Ectomachine brings in.

So, if you are business or individual that needs some design work, web development, content management system..really…anything, please feel free to contact us. We are always ready to work and our passion for the web and branding is hotter than ever and we can’t wait to utilize and share the things we have learned over the past year with you and your business.

Lastly, thank you all for your return visits to keep up with our portfolio, drop a kind email, and give us the motivation to keep going. It amps us up beyond belief and still want to hear from all of you so keep dropping by. Oh yea, and spread the word!

Stationery design is a masterful design within itself. In order to create beautiful stationery design that stays within the confines of the identity, the designer must see the vision of the design all the way though. From the logo, to the typography, to the color scheme, and the general mood all around.

It truly goes without saying that creating inspiring stationery design is a craft. Seemingly letterheads, envelopes, mailers, and business cards can seem confined and a bit dry by themselves, but it is within those confines that the identities beauty lays. With that being said we would like to show you some the best stationery examples we have come across in recent memory. Enjoy!
