Iowa Diabetes and Endocrinology Center Launches New Website

An affiliate of Mercy Medical Center, the Iowa Diabetes and Endocrinology Center (IDEC) is the largest endocrine practice in the state of Iowa, providing comprehensive health care services to adult patients diagnosed with diabetes and hormonal disorders.

IDEC and Mercy approached Applied Art seeking to design and develop a website that would feature and provide an education about the many conditions IDEC treats. The homepage also features a callout listing information about IDEC's groundbreaking clinical trials.

Applied Art provided IDEC with a custom web design with Flash animation, and teamed with programming house DWebware to integrate this site into Mercy's content management system which features the ability to create/delete pages and re-order the navigation.

Applied Art Produces Slipknot "Snuff" TV Spot

Roadrunner Records in New York has once again called upon Applied Art to create a TV spot. This time for the release of Slipknot's new music video "Snuff".

With little direction and even less time, our creative team lead by Scott Kaven was able to deliver in short order. The goal was to highlight the lyrics through text and to keep the background interesting, but not distracting. Of course it all had to feel like the Knot. Producer Neil Zaugg worked with Roadrunner and the creative team to turn the project around in 2 days. Within 4 days of the original request, the spot was airing in major markets around the word.

Applied Art Edits and Animates Purina Mills Video

Our old friend Joe Pundzak joined us again to create a follow up to last year’s Lightning Horse project for Purina Mills. This time Joe’s excellent writing was brought to life by three of our artists, Steve Dixon, Scott Kaven and Todd Huffine . This team created stunning 2D and 3D animations that were expertly edited by Chris Heckle to create an introductory video to Purina’s latest horse feed products.

Mr. Pundzak said of his experience, "After over 30 years as a writer/producer, I've had occasion to work with some highly talented individuals and yet, I've never experienced the pure joy of creative collaboration more so than while working together with my creative team at Applied Art & Technology. Not only do we produce super stuff, we have fun doing it!"
