  Cannon Design is an international architectural, engineering, and interior design firm, whose unique ideas-based practice yields stunning, award-winning work. They are no stranger to Killswitch either. Cannon is a long time client of ours and we had the pleasure of working with them this year on their 2012 interactive New Year's card. The card was created to spread the message of change and was sent to Cannon employees and clients around the world. The card was developed using javascript and was intended to create a unique experience as a user scrolls down the page. At specific scroll points (marked by white dots), a new image of an influential person fades in while a thoughtful quotation scrolls up from the bottom of the page, creating a unique experience.

  When Lauren Fine, a singer-songwriter based in Dallas, released her debut independent album called Paper Airports, she provided the perfect opportunity for Killswitch to fuse the title’s “paper airplane” imagery with the sophisticated subtleness of the music she created. Incorporating photos of birdhouses, a blue and white color scheme, and origami bird diagrams, the album’s liner-notes can actually be folded into an origami dove. The end product is a unique piece of interactive, hands-on media for the listener to experience above and beyond the music. Impressed by the work done on Paper Airports, Lauren then hired us to design and construct a fresh new web site. Visit the Web section of our site to view the finalized version of Fine’s online presence. CDs are available for purchase upon request.
