This past April a new travel web site, BrilliantTrips, was launched. Conceived as a site for young adults who are looking to get more out of their vacation (volunteer, learn a language, take a cooking course, or independently tour places off the beaten path), BrilliantTrips offers a range of travel packages and independent travel options.

When Re:Vision was originally approached by Rich Whitaker to design the Brilliant Trips web site, we were thrilled to be a part of such an exciting challenge. As a start-up, Brilliant Trips needed a logo, branding, and a web site with impact. Dave and I worked directly with Rich to ensure a solution that met well-defined goals, and we worked hand-in-hand to bring the best mix of technology and design to Brilliant Trips marketing efforts.

The challenge of the BrilliantTrips web site was to develop a site that presented complex information and multiple access points in a simple, easy-to-use interface. The BrilliantTrips web site is a great example of the best of traditional and web 2.0 tools and ideas.

The great thing about working with BrilliantTrips is that because they offer such a unique and interesting travel product it really got our creativity flowing, which shows in the final design. And the feedback has been really positive!

More recently we designed the BrilliantTrips blog: Brilliant Tips, which provides travel advice and ideas and a forum for like-minded travelers.

In support of Massachusetts Ballot Question 1 to eliminate the state income tax, Dave and I conceived and produced this politically incorrect animation. Posted the Friday before Election Day on youtube, we proudly got over 1,000 views and even landed on Michael Graham’s blog (The Natural Truth, 96.9 WTKK).

Unfortunately, the initiative lost by a landslide, but the worst part is that all the taxes opponents of the question claimed would happen if it passed are actually happening now anyway (higher property taxes, higher tolls, additional tax increases). Not to mention, our state government officials are being arrested, endicted, or subpoenaed every week…so clearly, another animation is on its way…stay tuned.

Looking for a little inspiration, or just want to get your hands on an old favorite? The Little Red Hen (Little Golden Book)
is a great book, and definately worth sharing with the children in your life. I really love the Golden Book version of this story, very old school.
