OUR APPROACH
It’s all about the details.
A large part of the assignment was to help push the brand forward and re-imagine M3’s overall creative direction. We chose a more minimal aesthetic that’s really brought to life with detailed interaction and nuance. Our goal was to create a tactile experience that feels alive and engaging and tells the story of who M3 is and showcases their amazing body of work.
The user experience and content structure for the site was an incredibly detailed and extensive process. We studied page structure and flows, created hi-fi wireframes and prototypes. Then positioned content, transportation mechanisms and calls to action throughout the site in appropriate places to optimize the experience for new prospect conversions.
DESIGN SYSTEM
Let the work speak for itself.
A significant amount of effort and a ton of collaboration with the M3 team went into developing the case study pages. One of the design tenets we adopted at the beginning of the project was to let the product brands and assets be the main visual focus. This allows the work to be showcased and more impactful. We created a design system that allowed us to use a modular approach and to give each one its own customized design to best tell the story.
Lee and Harrison helped introduce a level of visual maturity and enhanced user experience to our website while still ensuring we remain true to the M3 brand. They knew when to push us, but also when to listen and absorb constructive feedback. We're extremely happy with the end result.
