Stoltze Design has worked with the TV commercial production company September Productions long enough to understand every nuance of the business. When the opportunity arose to redesign the website, they gladly accepted the assignment.

“The main purpose,” says art director Clifford Stoltze, “is to have an online portfolio of the directors’ work along with contact information.” The objective was to make it clear, easy to use, and appealing to the agencies that hire the directors. The finished web design is sophisticated, innovative, and thoroughly engaging.

“The large, soft-focus backgrounds provide a dramatic setting for the detailed layouts and typography,” says Stoltze. “A great deal of time was spent on creating interesting, subtle transitions as you navigate through the site.”

The simple interface and aesthetic of the design was based on the content and objective. “We really wanted to allow the work to take a front seat,” says Stoltze. A custom movie player was developed to display September clips.

“We hoped that we could create a unique site for September that would reflect the personality of the firm and its work,” he continues, “and be noticed and enjoyed by creative types. The fact that it was included here makes us feel we achieved our goals.”
