Bluecadet Interactive

This was an exciting year at the American Association of Museums annual conference in Minneapolis. Bluecadet projects received four MUSE awards, hosted a session on creating interactive exhibits, and attended a party at the Minnesota History Center that included an elderly nun giving free massages.

Bluecadet's work for Counterspill won three Webbys! Counterspill received awards in the Green and Activism categories, plus a People's Voice in Activism. We are thrilled and humbled by the praise.

Counterspill.org challenges corporate and governmental spin on energy disasters. The site is a mixture of reporting, history, and social media, and both the Webby board and the voters found it worthy. Thanks to everyone who voted for us!

Bluecadet is excited to have received 3 nominations and 10 honorable mentions in the 16th Annual Webby Awards.

The Financial Times is famous for keeping its readers in the know on global trends and changes in world markets. For three days they shared some of this information in a big way. From March 27th to the 29th, Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Terminal was transformed by enormous 3D projections, including an interactive map controlled by 225 square feet of interconnected sensors. In addition to the map, the projection displayed infographic animations about the world economy, focusing on the United States, emerging economies, mobile use, recession, and recovery.

The interactive portion of the projection showed a giant map of the world.

In case you couldn't tell from the many great projects we have worked on at Bluecadet, we love Philadelphia.

Bluecadet's designers get their ideas from all over the web. Recently we were passing around this collection of vintage 50s advertisements when we realized our inspiration didn’t have to stop at merely viewing the ads. Why not try making the featured dishes?

Our SXSW panel takes on Requests for Proposals, and brings them down to size. We're teaming up with Happy Cog, Weblinc, and Four Kitchens to improve the RFP process.
