The Apparatus
We needed somewhere to park our ideas. A parking structure so to speak. This structure was constructed in about a week. We thought we should share with you how we did it.
The website is powered by Wordpress and Revolution Magazine by Brian Gardner. We are also using Slide Show Pro and Slide Show Pro Director. A great slide show management system for nominal investment.
I cannot stress how easy this whole process was due mostly to The Revolution Magazine. More than a theme, it’s a system. We managed to get it on sale for $75. Worth a million dollars in saved production time. Brian Garner is quick to respond to any inquiries in his forum . Good customer service, Good quality. What more can you ask for.
Obviously we are all mac users.
MadBADcat’s digital toolbox for this project consists of Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Fireworks, Stylemaster, Text Mate.
