American Design Awards mission is to provide a fair and ethical platform for graphic and web designers with varying experience levels and disciplines to compete on, while providing them a global audience to showcase their talents to. The American Design Awards holds two (2) Semi-Annual Design Contests, an ongoing Monthly Design Contest, and a Student Design Contest, providing various avenues for graphic and web designers to get involved and get noticed.
Recently, THAT Agency was honored with two American Design Awards for their projects, Gran Melia, www.gran-melia.com, and ME by Melia, www.me-by-melia.com.
THAT Agency was awarded an American Design Award for Gran-Melia.com due to the intricate details included in designing and developing the hotels’ online presence. Integrating the hotel’s bold and contemporary qualities into a site that was also informative and intuitive, proved to be no challenge for this seasoned web design firm. Built for marketing purposes, THAT Agency did not forget that aesthetics and functionality were also needed. Included within the home page, below the page fold is a flash map of the world, pin-pointing all Gran Melia locations, providing the user at a glance, more information about the Gran Melia Brand and allows them to easily locate their hotel of choice.
That very same month, THAT Agency was awarded an American Design Award for ME-by-Melia.com. ME by Melia’s website was more urban in feel, which represents the brands necessity for being the “IT” place to be. Utilizing cinematic elements within the home page to not only showcase their resorts, but tell a story, the ME by Melia website facilitates a refreshing on-page experience that allows users to not only research their brand and hotels, but to experience them.
