Client: Martin Skelly for Congress

Project: Logo design

Description: Martin Skelly is running for Congress in a crowded primary field that includes over a dozen contenders between Republicans and Democrats. The district is going to be swamped in political advertising and signs by the time the primary arrives, so it is vitally important to have a memorable brand to identify his campaign and set him apart from the field. Two versions were created to adapt the logo to different uses -- the white background primarily for stationery purposes (business cards, letterhead, etc) and the blue background for bumper stickers and signage.

Project: Celebrate the two-year anniversary of theDiscust with a complete makeover.

Description: theDiscust has been very successful as a design showcase, a creative outlet, and as a satirical blog covering South Carolina politics. Having just turned two-years-old, however, the look was starting to show some wear so it was time for an overhaul. We kept WordPress as the platform, found a new template, and customized it to our needs. The new version has a more attractive interface and new features for users.

Welcome to the third incarnation of Harbor Light Media's website.

If you've visited us before, the first thing you'll notice is a completely new and brighter color scheme, designed to be more inviting and easier on the eyes. But beyond the new aesthetics, we've moved the site to a new back-end database system that gives us much more flexibility in design and content.

We've always used our home page as a live testing ground for different technologies, allowing us to work out the bugs before implementing them on customer sites. This site is now running on Drupal, an open-source, secure, database-driven content management system -- this is the same back-end we've used to deploy in most of our most recent high-end websites.
