We just launched the newly re-designed site for inluxuria, a luxury concierge and travel services company. We utilized a full frame flash layout to create a dramatic and expansive "wet floor" type effect. Additional content and a mobile version of the site are on the way. Check the site out here.

The new blog is up and running!

A new blog design has been a long time coming as our old Wordpress version was getting long in the tooth. We decided to use ExpressionEngine for the basis of our re-design instead of Wordpress, a decision which I have been more and more happy with during the development process. ExpressionEngine's template system is extremely flexible, and also pretty easy to work with. I have been putting the new design through it's paces, but if anyone sees an error, let us know!

Designer Position

05/15/2008   10:07 PM   Author: Version-X   Tags: News

Did you become a designer to be a drone slaving away in a cubicle, or to work in a creative environment where you will generate great design and have some fun doing it?

Version-X is an award-winning boutique design studio specializing in (but not limited to) identity and web design. We’re a small team who are passionate about design and looking to add another designer to our group. What we lack in dental plans and 401Ks we make up for in a collaborative environment where you can push your creative boundaries, learn new skills, have your ideas heard and work on a wide range of projects across an array of disciplines.

What we’re looking for from you is enthusiasm for your craft and a portfolio of work that demonstrates creativity, originality, and a strong design sensibility. Since we are a small group, you need to be able to work well with others and show initiative. You need to be versatile, learn quickly and accept criticism with a good attitude. You should be well versed in the typical design applications. Any web design/Flash skills are a HUGE plus, but not required.

This is a full time on-site position at our office in Burbank. Salary depends on what you are bringing to the table. If you are interested in working with us, read the do’s and dont’s below and send an email with the requested materials to jobs at version-x dot com.

Do:

• send us a Version X-specific cover letter and resume
• send us a pdf or portfolio url of your work
• provide us with your hourly rate/salary requirements

Don't:

• send us the generic cover letter you sent the last two dozen places you applied
• call or drop by the office
• ask us if we are interested in an off-site arrangement
• expect to be considered without providing samples of your work

Version-X featured in HOW’s 9th Annual Interactive Design issue

The work we did on Scratt Surf (the flash version of the site) was a Merit Winner in How Magazine's Interactive Design Awards. We're really excited about this as it is a strong follow up to our STEP Inside Design Best of Web award from last Fall and is hopefully the start of many more to come.
