The Story

Before blackthir13en studios existed, Mick Rose was looking at various opportunities to freelance in the Pittsburgh Area and began the process of building a portfolio site to house his professional works. However some ideas, never make it quiet back the basic design/concept visualizations. Kairos was one of those, all most but not quiet finished works, of which various elements have crept into the current blackthir13en studios feel. Kairos, in summery is about a moment in time. A perfect moment, if you will. And Kairos was there to create, your perfect “digital” moment or kairotic moment.

The entire site and design was greatly inspired by the Rose family crest. The Rose family crest features the phrase, “Constant and True.” This began to become a theme for the portfolio site, and also worked well when discussing website design. Unfortunately due to his exploration into social media he began to utilize a phrase blackthir13en more and more for sign-ups. And alas Kairos, evolved into blackthir13en studios.

The Result

An example of site design mock up demonstrates how blackthir13en studios could have been originally visualized. At first glance, overall font-size/readability still needs addressed. However we’ll still stand behind the product due to it’s overall functionality/design/layout. In addition to the static 1 page mock up (remember none of the links work), here are a couple alternate backgrounds that were designed for the center.
