We love music, good causes and foundations that supports them. On April 2009, the Playing for Change Foundation (PFCF) is releasing a fantastic CD and DVD. The CD and DVD features the collaborative efforts of film director Mark Johnson, a Grammy Award Wining director and various artists from around the world. For the past decade Mark has worked with some of the most renowned musicians and producers in the film and music industry. As the co-founder of the Playing For Change documentaries, Mark Johnson has perfected an innovative outside, mobile technique for recording musicians outdoors, combining musical artists from around the world to create universal music sessions.

Of Note magazine provides a platform where art is not bounded or filtered by subject matter, medium or popularity but rather founded on empowerment activism, and social dialogue. The artists and artistic works featured in Of Note demonstrate a commitment to global citizenship and social change. The mission, of this online publication is to increase participation and improve access to artists and artwork that celebrates people of color.
Indigo was more than happy to work with Of Note and organize their vast, extensive material allowing the variation of artwork and media to be experienced in an accessible and visually appealing way. We worked with Of Note to develop an online newsletter that would create a clear visual impact and also allow email delivery to be compatible with most emails clients as well as webmail.
Throughout the newsletter readers are provided with the most current as well as previously featured news in art, photography, theater, and dance. Of Note views these art-forms as seamlessly connected. Indigo respected this viewpoint throughout the newsletter design navigating viewers directly from one art-form to the next, from artist to artist.
The Of Note newsletter allows readers to be first introduced to the artwork within the broader context of the featured collection, then receive an a more in depth look at the artists other work and background. Furthermore, the newsletter familiarizes viewers with the respective venues displaying the artwork channeling visitors to explore the extended collection.

Since 2005, the Volvic+UNICEF partnership has been dedicated to providing clean drinking water to thousands of children in Ethiopia, Niger and Mali. The latest “Drink 1, Give 10″ campaign will provide critical support to one of Ethiopia’s most water-scarce regions.
When Indigo recieved this project it became clear that the main focus should be educating people in a instantaneous and memorable way about the water situation in Ethiopia. This meant using clean, clear images, overlapped with Flash to lead visitors through the site with a navigation support system developed around the patterns of questions visitors have on the workings organization. The fact page was used to present the urgent issues in Ethiopia in a very direct method using images and reiterating the underlined statement of the organization in Flash animation.

“Hope North is a much-needed sanctuary for young people whose lives have been stolen by a brutal civil war. I hope you can join me in creating opportunities for these terrific kids.
-Forest Whitaker
Hello! Hope North is a non-profit based in Uganda that we found out about through one of our clients, Keisha Whitaker (Kissable Couture). They’re doing some amazing work and we were thrilled to work on enhancements to their site. You can check out a few links below, but also consider donating on their site. It’s a great cause.

Volvic’s at it again with another admirable campaign. We’ve just developed and launched “Play 1, Give 10,” a sister site of sorts to Volvic’s Drink 1, Give 10 site. The gist of the site is to promote the athletes and adventurers who have pledged to work with Volvic to further promote the “Drink 1, Give 10″ initiative. Check it out at p1g10.drink1give10.com.
