  Love design? 

  
  RRD Creative provides award-winning design and consultancy services to both private and public sector clients. They are the un-sung heroes of the much larger RR Donnelley Global Document Solutions.

  They felt that it was high time they blew a few of their own trumpets and decided to give CIVIC a call.

  We brought both teams together to produce a new microsite that would do their portfolio justice. Working closely, from initial concepts right through to final build, we collaborated to produce a site we’re both proud of.

  Entirely CMS driven, with tooltips, Google maps, Flash animations and a unique horizontal scrolling feature, we hope it’ll stand them in good stead.

  The site was released on Valentine’s Day as part of a wider advertising campaign: http://www.rrdcreative.com.

  Office of the Advocate General website relaunches 

  

  CIVIC has redesigned the official online presence of the Office of the Advocate General (OAG) in Scotland.

  The Advocate General is the Minister responsible to the UK Parliament for the Office of the Advocate General. The Advocate General is also the UK Government’s principal legal adviser on Scots law and is the UK Government’s senior representative to the Scottish legal community.

  The OAG website was implemented to complement the Scotland Office project, which CIVIC will launch in March. The site is simple, easily navigable with a clear-cut layout, developed within the newest version of CIVIC’s bespoke content management system, CCC 6.4.

  Positive About Science campaign explodes onto the web 

  

  CIVIC has unveiled its ‘Positive about Science’ website for the Scottish Government.

  The site supports the government’s ‘Positive About Science’ advertising campaign which launched today. Accompanied by the strapline, ‘Do something creative. Do science’, the campaign aims to challenge misconceptions about science amongst secondary school children including its ‘nerdy’ image and encourage more young people to consider science courses at school and university. It is also aiming to address the widening employment deficit in the science profession in Scotland.

  Working closely with the government and other creative agencies, Civic developed the online branch of the campaign. The funky, slick site features an interactive, Flash ‘Career Path’ gizmo, to encourage kids to discover the numerous, often surprising, careers from football to fashion, open to them if they study science. Inspiring stories from people who’ve found their way into cool science careers, useful FAQs and links have all been designed to talk to the youth target audience.
