Happy 2005 to the Dtek extended community!

We’ve been working with some tip-top clients of late: a Seattle-based photographer and creative writer, a dynamic youth organization in Brooklyn, a new Brooklyn-based band, and a state-wide educational non-profit organization in New York.

In the shop, we have work lined-up for more independent enterprises and a massive research & development project for The Media Spot, Dtek’s media education organization.

The mission of Seattle’s World Words and Images is to “communicate global understanding and awareness through the beauty of writing and photography”.

Dtek helped WWI create its online and graphic identity by designing a logo and business cards, and building a web site. The web site is powered by a database of WWI’s photos, and features an open-source dropdown menu system developed for the project by Dtek partner Daniel Gillmor.

NYSATA is a 57-year-old non-profit organization that “advances the cause of art education” in New York. Dtek helped NYSATA develop a new presence on the web.

The NYSATA web site overhaul was a massive modernization and reorganization of site content, packaged in a new graphic design. The site now boasts an elegant page layout, cohesive architecture, and dynamic menuing system that can be easily updated by NYSATA members.

Established in 1992, PSDC runs afterschool programs during the school year, and attracts kids from all over New York City to their phenomenal summer camp.
Dtek’s The Media Spot conducted an afterschool video production clinic for PSDC in early 2004. Based on the reception of the video from campers, staff, and parents, Dtek was asked to produce a promotional video for the camp.

The promotional video follows a PSDC-written script, and features custom graphics, titling, and studio recorded voice overs. Dtek authored the video to streaming and DVD formats, including custom packaging.

Likeness to Lily is a Brooklyn-based ensemble that blends the collaborative-nature of a rock or jazz band with “the traditional elegance of a classical art song.”

Dtek helped them build a conceptual, stylish web site and consulted with the band so they could easily maintain the site themselves.
