When I first made my way into the field of Web design/development I stumbled across a design firm that became an inspiration to me: Vivid Studios. They were so much of an inspiration to me that I even bought their book “Careers in Multimedia”.
Sadly they are no longer in operation (vivid.com now belongs to the XXX company Vivid), but every now and then I check out some of their former-employee’s personal sites (like Nathan, Val, Drue, and others) to see what they are up to these days.
I was doing just that when I saw a link on Nathan Shedroff’s site to vividstudios.org; and what did I find but what appears to be a snapshot of Vivid’s final site design!
I used to visit their site constantly to see what the Vividians (as they called themselves) were up to in part because their culture of fun and creativity at work seemed like a refreshing new idea, but also because I secretly wished I was a part of their team. In fact the Vivid business strategy/methodology section of their website is what first piqued my interest in project management, design specs, and the like.
Thank you, Nathan, for bringing back the Vivid website.
