TIM Grid - Part 1

Jul 30, 2008: 8:26 PM

If you’re wondering how the progress for the new TIM sites are coming along… well, Tim has finally approved a layout that seems to work for the both of us. Below is a sneak preview of just the top half of the page (click to zoom).

As you can see, we’re moving things around slightly to accommodate new projects we’re launching over the next few months. The new grid is a simplified version of what we currently have - we’re bringing the navigation back to the top horizontally and taking away the homepage slides in the middle. I’ll unveil the new colors and fonts over the next day or so while we put in the finishing touches.

Give us your comments on what you like and dislike about the current site and we’ll try to incorporate them.

TIM Design - Take 1

Jul 28, 2008: 9:31 AM

As promised, here’s a little sneak peak of what we’ve been working on for the new TIM family of sites… only problem, Tim decided it was a little too professional and boring for his taste… which in hindsight makes a lot of sense.

You see, Tim has a very clear vision of what he represents and how he wants his audience to react and interact. My job is to grasp that vision and make it a reality for him. All is not lost with this new design however; we talked about aspects he liked and disliked, and I’ll unveil a new version later today.

Maybe this version was a little too Obama like :-)

Who is Pallian?

Jul 27, 2008: 1:21 PM

I keep getting emails asking me who I am and why the name Pallian. Well, I guess I should have answered this in my first post… but here’s a little bit about me:

My name is Adarsh Dilip Pallian, and I’m from Vancouver, BC. Staying up very late and obsessing over the minute details is my idea of a job well done. I specialize in branding, marketing, user interface design and website design, and have a deep understanding of typography and grid systems.

My studio, Pallian, is based out in NYC since almost all of our clients are in Manhattan. I have a small but extremely talented team of animators, designers and coders who help make Pallian unique and stand out from the crowd.

This blog is my archive of the accumulative sum of my pursuits in art, design, photography, friendships and love; both successful and not. And occasionally, my puppy Oliver will make an appearance :-)

You can reach my studio, Pallian, at 1 800 490 0487 or simply email hello@pallian.com. You can also find me on:
