The Littlefield Website

The folks at Lads Entertainment group asked Trischler Design Co. to design a new website for their flagship restaurant, The Littlefield. We first worked with Lads on the visual identities for Branch and Night Drop, their most recent restaurants. Unlike that project, The Littlefield website project did not involve an identity update. The purpose was to build a website that the staff can easily change and also to make it accessible to a wide range of guests (generation Z to silents). Their previous website was both challenging to update and confusing to navigate.

Technologies like the internet disrupt industries through the decentralization of information. Is the same true for religious institutions? That is a question I had in mind when I began my first assignment in Research Methods, a course within the University of Cincinnati Masters of Design program at DAAP. We were tasked with interviewing several members from different generations of our family about a topic of our choice so that we may discover associations across the participants. My subject was Catholicism (my family’s faith tradition) and how it has or has not been influenced by technologies across the different generations.

Hi, Subscriber Name I’ve benefited from the following thoughts and matter this month, and I think you will too:

Dementia Diaries - Audio
I’m currently researching dementia for class and found this site with audio recordings of people with dementia talking about their daily journeys. It’s touching.

Blacks Who Design - Site
There is no excuse for a design conference full of white people.

Notion - App
Notion might just be the app of my dreams. Imagine Evernote, Dropbox Paper, Trello, and Google Docs wrapped up into one application… That’s Notion. I’ve been test driving it on a group project and love it so far. Thanks to Akshat S. for the tip.

Paper Phone - App
”Paper Phone is an experimental app which helps you have a little break away from your digital world, by printing a personal booklet of the information you’ll need that day.” Thanks to Chris G. for the tip.
