Design The Planet

In 2013, Rodrigue Studios, and owner George Rodrigue – an indelible figure in the Louisiana art scene – partnered with Design the Planet to translate his unique style and vision into an interactive online presence. The collaboration was a success, and we were able to launch a website to help showcase his iconic work with the world.Over the years, we continued to assist Rodrigue Studio with their website, adapting to the changes in George’s art. After George’s passing, the family turned to us to help transition the brand into something that would ensure a lasting legacy for the famous “Blue Dog” artist.in 2018 - It was no small feat to elevate a brand that George had worked a lifetime to create, but we were able to take our original masterpiece and modernize it. The result is a complete redesign of the initial site – one that captures the spirit of the Rodrigue aesthetic, pays homage to the past, and looks far into the future.How we did it:Striking Contrasts and TypesetsCustom WordPress DevelopmentInteractive TimelineCohesive NavigationResponsive Web DesignRobust EcommerceWe look forward to our next project with the Rodrigue family as they continue to promote George’s art, share his unique history, and advance his philanthropic goals.

Branding & Logo Design – “Making Louisiana Smile”Over the years, the LSU School of Dentistry has amassed many milestone achievements. We realized the direct impact the school had in fostering a healthy, smiling Louisiana – approximately 80 % of the dental professionals in Louisiana are graduates of the school. For this reason, our first goal was to create a logo that symbolized this impact while also honoring the 50 years of top-tier dental education producing nearly 6,000 dental professionals.More about the full campaign here ::  https://www.designtheplanet.com/portfolio/lsu-school-of-dentistry/Compendium VideosPerhaps one of the best ways to share the story of the LSU School of Dentistry is to hear from its people: students, faculty and alumni. We successfully concepted, scouted, shot, directed and edited several videos to further highlight the state-of-the-art facilities, the dedication of the students, and the accomplishments of those who’ve graduated.Interactive TimelineDesign the Planet developed a historical interactive timeline that captured some of the most important moments along the school’s 50 year journey. Starting from 1968, when Dean Jeansonne began to assemble the pieces needed to form an accredited school, and spanning through to present day, the timeline captures it all. It works on any device and is ready to accommodate future milestones.SEE the Timeline :: https://www.lsuhealthfoundation.org/dental50/
