One of our most recent projects was for Sitting Duck Advertising. We built the look and feel from the ground up, starting with our duck character. From there we created a website to revolve around what this company does. Sitting Duck Advertising uses frames with a built in shelf to put ads above urinals and on the back of bathroom stalls. Not only can you read the interesting ads in front of you, but you can also sit your drink, keys, cell phone, or whatever on the shelf under the ad. After the design for the site was settled on, we went on to use our duck character in different situations for each of the website’s headers. Be sure to look for this little guy next time you visit a public restroom in St. Louis!
