Mudbug Design Awards

I am extremely excited and pleased to share that the 2010 Gambit Magazine Best of the Web Awards recognized three Mudbug Media clients as the Best of New Orleans.  An ecommerce website we designed for HADAKI earned a third place recognition, while Ursuline Academy’s website and Ochsner Health System’s Choose Ochsner campaign were recognized as the Best School Website and Best Online Ad Campaign, respectively.

The Art of Illustration

Last week, Mudbug Media bought the designers something fun to play around with, the new Wacom Intuous 4 Tablet. Luckily it showed up just in time for an interesting illustration project I just started. For anyone who isn’t familiar with how Illustrator works this might not seem like a big deal, but for a designer like myself who prefers using hand-drawn illustrations, it means the world.
