Guy Clark Website
September 16, 2009
Guy Clark is a true national treasure and folk icon, a legendary songwriter who doesn't merely compose songs; he projects images and characters with the kind of hands-on care and respect of a literary master. We've been fans of Clark since his classic first album, Old No. 1, was released in 1975 (that's 34 years ago!), so it was a real pleasure to work on this site. Clark has a brand new album, Somedays The Song Writes You, available September 22. His new site provides a one-stop information and entertainment source for all visitors: fans, press, media, etc. All of Clark's albums feature streaming jukeboxs where visitors can listen to every song in their entirety. Social media links, tour dates, news items, photos, videos, downloads, it's all here. Find out more about this site.
Ernie Hendrickson Website
August 27, 2009
Ernie Hendrickson is a fine Americana singer-songwriter from Chicago. His new album, Walking With Angels, is due out in October. He wanted to make sure that a new, completely overhauled website was in place well before the launch of the new album. We worked with Hendrickson, using artwork from the new album, to put together a website that should serve him well for quite some time. Social media links (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, SonicBids and Reverbnation) are give prominent positioning on the Home page and featured on every other page throughout the site. Visitors can find everything they might be looking for, be it song samples, videos, photos, tour dates or news items. Find out more about this site.

DVM, along with BURN, won two Merit awards at the first annual AIGA Nashville CASE Awards. The awards were for our George Canyon and The Roys websites. Both websites were designed by Torne White at BURN and we here at DVM coded, authored and built the sites based on Torne's design. The CASE Awards celebrate and reward effective visual communication in the Nashville Area. They are a showcase for the best local talent, showcasing identity, print, web & interactive, motion, photography, & illustration works. The show is also unique because it is the only show that allows members of the organization to be a judge. AIGA members participated in the member judging event and had a hand in the process.

Rob Blackledge Website
June 9, 2009
Rob Blackledge is an exciting new artist who's debut album, Inside These Walls, is due to be released by One Revolution Entertainment this fall. Blackledge is a very interesting artist (he was a high school baseball star) who has made a terrific album. In the summer of 2008, Blackledge met Dean Miller and Iris Thompson and quickly signed with their One Revolution Entertainment. Blackledge wrote or co-wrote every song on his debut album, which was produced by Jeff Coplan (The Moffats, Love And Theft). His music fits the mold of intelligently crafted pop songs along the lines of James Taylor and Guster, but he breaks out of the box with his driving melodies, charismatic vocals, and refreshingly jazz-influenced tunes. His website keeps fans and media connected and up to date with everything Rob. Find out more about this site.
Nathan Lee Website
May 15, 2009
Nathan Lee is releasing his first album, Risk Everything, through One Revolution Entertainment this summer. Getting his website up and running several months in advance was a big priority for the label, as they really understand the importance of building a fanbase from the very beginning. While Nathan is plugged into Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace and other social networking sites (links to all of which are prominently featured on his site), his own website is the hub for everything happening with him and his music throughout the web. Nathan had some very specific ideas about how he wanted his website to look. We had a lot of great photos (by Michael Gomez) to work with and with these photos and Nathan's ideas we came up with a design and layout that reflects the passion and intensity of Nathan's music. Find out more about this site.
Anthony Smith Website
April 22, 2009
Anthony Smith is a new artist just signed to the recently launched Stroudavarious Record label out of Nashville. With a new release coming this summer the label needed a temporary site until the full site is ready to launch. They wanted more than a simple "coming soon" page though. We worked on this site with our friend Torne White at Burn Design. Torne did all the design and we built and coded the site in Flash to provide action, movement and animation. The result catches your attention and gives you a good visual idea of what expect from Smith's music. The site also includes a jukebox to listen to several songs and a signup form for his mailing list. Find out more about this site.
One Revolution Entertainment Website
April 21, 2009
It's always great to be involved with a company from the beginning.

They've signed two new artists, Nathan Lee and Rob Blackledge (we're also working on sites for both of them) who will have albums out shortly.

Blue Mile Design Website
April 8, 2009
Dan Harding does a lot of great design work, much of it for the music business. He designs CD packages, promotional pieces and ads, logos and much more. Like many designers he never could seem to find the time to put together a website to showcase his own work. It seems he was always too busy working on someone else's project. Harding (also like many other designers) knew the value of a website and finally made the push to get his own on line. He designed the look and feel of the site and we built and coded it so it functioned and worked exactly like he wanted. Learn more.
Sometymes Why eCard
February 27, 2009
Sometymes Why is a mesmerizing trio of modern-day sirens with a new CD on Signature Sounds. Kristin Andreassen, Ruth Ungar Merenda and Aoife O'Donovan have honed their recipe for ruthless tenderness with utter disregard for conformity or convention. Their songs tell the secret tales of our own lives and beg us to believe in the power of revelation. Their vocal intensity, sparse arrangements, and passionate lyricism whirl into the air and cut a cyclone's path through the heart. To help spread the word about the CD and the group we built a custom eCard that showcases the release. View the eCard on our eCards & Flash Design page.

Tamara Reynolds Photography Site
February 6, 2009
Tamara Reynolds is a fantastic photographer from Nashville. She needed a site that would focus on her photography and not clutter up the impact of the photos with too much other stuff. The layout for this site was designed by Janice Benight. To achieve the functionality and effects that Tamara wanted, the entire site was built in Flash. This allowed for the animated thumbnails entry and the ability to easily switch back and forth between "normal" sized images and "supersized" images. The thumbnails and images are loaded dynamically via an XML file. Additionally, the "Home" page dynamically loads one of five different images so that visitors are constantly presented with a different example of Reynold's photography.

Our New Website
January 19, 2009
Well, here it is, our new website. It's been over six years since I launched Digital Vision Media and a new website was way overdue. It seemed one thing or another always got in the way of designing and building a new website for DVM. Afterall, the clients always need to come first and I've just been so busy with projects that I never found the time to work on our own website. Finally, I just couldn't take it anymore and made a determined effort to set aside some time each day to get a new website together. I've been working on it for the last few months and it's finally ready to launch.
redpepperLand
December 18, 2008
redpepper is an amazing marketing and advertising firm in Nashville that I really admire. They've just launched a brand new website built entirely with WordPress. Neely Catignani at redpepper did the design and I coded and built everything. This is by far the most complex WordPress design I've done to date. We really turned the program inside out to get it to do some amazing things. redpepperLand is basically five blogs in one with a ton of content. In addition to the various blogs there is also a fairly extensive Portfolio, Contact information with embedded Google Maps, downloadable wallpapers and banners and much, much more. Learn more.

Torne White is an award winning graphic designer in Nashville with a unique style that sets him apart from everyone else. Over the past few years DVM has partnererd with his company, Burn, to build and develop several websites for musical artists, including Keith Urban, The Roys and Jill King. Often times Torne will design a CD package for the artist and convert that artwork into a complementary website design that provides especially strong branding for the artist. We take his designs and do all the "heavy lifting," coding, building and authoring the actual websites. George Canyon, a great country artist from Canada, is our latest project. Find out more.

Jenny Kerr Site
July 21, 2008
San Francisco native Jenny Kerr has been wowing audiences throughout the US and Europe for several years now. She had reached a point in her career where she needed a website that better represented and reflected the high quality and professionalism she maintained throughout her music and live performances. We designed and built a site for her showcases her enormous talents and skills and provides visitors with easy to find information. Her site contains many of the sections and pages you would expect to find on a musician's site: news, tour, bio, reviews, mailing list and contacts. Additionally, a music section allows visitors to listen to each of the songs on her three albums and a video section showcases some outstanding live performances taped in Europe. There's also a store that connects to PayPal, an online press kit where media folks can download images and files and a place for fans to sign up for a mailing list.
