Project:	Mountain Mini Trucks	Project:	James Ray Spahn
Goals:	Mountain Mini Trucks wanted a site that would professionally display their inventory of Japanese mini trucks as well as provide information to prospective buyers.	Goals:	Our client wanted a visually interesting site for display of high end photography with a focus on architectural photography.
Solution:	The site is very simple and straightforward. The home page gets right to the point by listing the benefits of mini trucks as opposed to traditional vehicles. We used a touch of Flash animation to add more visual interest to the site.	Solution:	At our client's request, we created a site using Flash to achieve smooth transitions between images and interesting navigation. The site has a clean look which allows to user to easily focus on the photographs.

Project:	Gunnison Valley Aviation	Project:	Gunnison Car Club
Goals:	Gunnison Valley Aviation has had a website for years and wanted to update its look and content.	Goals:	The Car Club wanted to provide a venue for people interested in classic cars and trucks, raise money for charity, and provide information for annual car show registrants and members.
Solution:	The site is full of information useful to visiting pilots and tourists alike. GVA supplied a lot of great aerial photos to use in order to show off the unique Gunnison Valley and surrounding area. There are many slideshows on the site with photos of the Gunnison area, wildlife, and unique aircraft that use GVA as their homebase for high altitude testing and cold weather operations.	Solution:	The site has an online Car Show registration and promotion for participants and vendors, support and activities for members, and car information links to other sites.

Project:	Bren Corn Art	Project:	Connors Drilling USA
Goals:	Bren wanted a site that would show off the brilliant color and detail of her site. She also wanted to protect her images from duplication online.	Goals:	Our client wanted informative websites that promoted their company to potential employees. They have two websites. One site is for the USA branch and one for the Australian branch.
Solution:	We chose to create an entire Flash site for Bren Corn because it lends well to high image quality and is more difficult than traditional html sites to copy images from the site. Per the artists request, we used movement on most of the pages in order to keep interest but not detract from the artwork.	Solution:	Paragon built matching sites packed full of information about Connors Drilling. According to our client, the website has been a very successful tool in recruiting employees. Some features include online job applications, a movie that demonstrates "A day in the life" of a drill helper, upcoming job fairs, and more.

Project:	Mayan Getaway	Project:	Mill Creek Natural Beef
Goals:	When describing what she was hoping for in a website, our customer used words like inviting, classy, and realistic. She wanted to capture the essence of their vacation rental property near Cancun, Mexico and she wanted to sell vacation time slots for the property online.	Goals:	This family-owned business wanted to promote their natural grass-fed beef from the Gunnison Valley. They wanted to provide their customers with all of the information needed to purchase specific quantities and cuts of beef online.
Solution:	Capturing the beauty of the property was simple because the newly remodeled Casa South Breeze house and beachfront property are in an amazing location on the Mayan Riviera of Mexico. We used a link to rentors.org for an availability calendar and set up a shopping cart for users to purchase vacation time. Our client loves that she can control the items in the cart herself.	Solution:	Our customer was very helpful in providing very organized information to us. The site provides detailed information about Mill Creek Natural Beef and the family that raises it. Customers can order beef online to be shipped or delivered to their door.

Project:	Gunnison County Historic Preservation Commission
Goals:	The GCHPC wanted an informational site including a map and details for historic landmarks placed on Gunnison County's Register of Historic Landmarks.
Solution:	We used Flash to create an easy to use informational map of Gunnison County with links to details of each landmark in each town listed in Gunnison County. The site also includes downloadable pdf files of printed brochures from the Preservation Commission and a form users can download in order to nominate a new landmark for inclusion in the Register.
SAMPLES OF LOGOS AND DESIGN WORK Click to see enlarged versions of each design Mountain Mini Trucks Mountain Mini Trucks needed multiple logos for different applications. Their business is the sale of Japanese Mini Trucks for hunting, ranching, and other offroad use. Because many people don't know what a mini truck is, we created a logo with an illustrated version of a mini truck in it. Peterson Power Systems Peterson Power Systems needed illustrations of their service truck, a compressed air unit, a rental temperature control unit, and a rental generator for use in a trade show display and other printed materials. Using provided photos, we created vector illustrations that can be reduced or enlarged as needed without losing quality. New West Real Estate This Front Range commercial real estate company had been using a homemade logo and decided they needed a more professional look. The InSINerators The InSINerators are a local band that plays 60's garage surf rock. They wanted a logo that incorporated devilish characteristics and was easily recognizable. Sports Partners International For their website, SPI needed icons for each of the fitness programs they support. These are used throughout their website to signify which program their users are participating in. SAMPLES OF PRINT DESIGN WORK Click to see detailed versions of each design.

Project:	Idealease of North America, Inc. 2006 Christmas Card Options	Project:	Peterson Power Systems Location Map
Goals:	Each year Idealease has custom Christmas cards designed to add to a selection of past cards. Each of their locations are given the option to choose a design and have them custom imprinted by Citizen Printing in Fort Collins, Colorado.	Goals:	Peterson Power Systems wanted a 40"x50" poster of their California and Oregon locations designed for display.
Solution:	These are two of the initial options for Christmas 2006. Included in the design is the illustration of one of their new truck models.	Solution:	To retain the same look as their other printed material, we used the faint grid in the background with the CAT Yellow band behind the Peterson logo. We designed the map in a previous project and it is used in most of their brochure designs.

Project:	Snaptron, Inc. Snapshot Trade Show Display	Project:	Bisetti's Ristorante Menu
Goals:	Create a trade show display that is 81"x88" that features two products.	Goals:	The Bisetti family has owned this restaurant in Fort Collins since January of 1979. They opened a branch in Highlands Ranch, Colorado in March of 2000. Their goal was to produce an Italian menu that evokes a feeling of tradition and warmth and is durable in the restaurant setting.
Solution:	Snaptron had an existing display that was outdated and wanted a new one. We incorporated their logos and products while using a design that echoed existing printed materials.	Solution:	In order to convey the feeling they wanted, we used a warm, textured background in combination with Script headings and an easy to read serif font for the main text. Our client supplied a photo they had taken in Italy on a family visit for the inner panel. The menu was printed on smooth dull gloss cover stock then coated with a dull varnish to protect it from spills and wear.
