Citi.com Website

 

Designed in col­lab­o­ra­tion with Critical Mass Toronto, Citi.com was a rev­o­lu­tion­ary rebrand­ing project that took the refresh from the web­site to print instead of vice-vera. It also changed the way online bank­ing can be per­ceived — truly a design that thought of the end-user first instead of only focus­ing on inter­nal bank­ing perspectives.

The design process was very detailed and focused on such things as keep­ing clients above the fold, allow­ing them to bank in one screen, cus­tomize the site to sat­isfy their most fre­quent tasks, and add more usabil­ity than ever before includ­ing an online finan­cial advi­sor tool. The site, orig­i­nally designed for the United States, was so well received that it is being rolled out Internationally includ­ing both Asia and Europe.

Mobile Wallets — Coming to a Cell Phone Near You!

I admit I was once a doubter of how North America would adopt the idea of using a mobile phone for more than just calls, cam­eras, and music. As the love for all things “App” has emerged, it has become evi­dent that North Americans are embrac­ing the idea of a cell phone that does it all. Paypal recently acquired mobile pay­ment provider Zong for $240 mil­lion dol­lars! So, the ques­tion is, how long will it take us now to get rid of our tra­di­tional wal­lets? More >

Viva la iAd revolution

Michael Gramlow, CD at Lollipop, talks about the impor­tance of adopt­ing the same adver­tis­ing men­tal­ity that Apple has done through iAds.

As far as I am con­cerned, Apple is like a virus that spreads rapidly through­out the world. Its a virus that is con­stantly mutat­ing forc­ing the world to catch up with it at every turn. Apple’s lat­est stroke of genius: iAds. Essentially, when you down­load an App, these iAds are embed­ded within it and are capa­ble of being a very rich, inter­ac­tive expe­ri­ence — beyond ban­ners and reach­ing mil­lions. Michael Gramlow, CD at Lollipop, pushes on to say that adver­tis­ers should be push­ing to have their media dol­lars spent in such a rich expe­ri­ence — no mat­ter what mobile device they have!
