It is time to voice your opinions on the greatest web developments of the year. For the 14th time, the Webby Awards set out to recognize the companies and people who have created jaw dropping Websites, Interactive Advertising, Online Film & Video and Mobile applications.
Last year nearly half a million votes were cast and the comments exulted how passionate people were about their favorites. This year, with the support of AOL, the Webby Awards hopes to surpass last year and ignite a battle for web surpremacy.

Creativity-Online recently released The Discovery Channel as their choice for “Best Ad”. This winning commercial incorporates The Discovery Channel’s various shows into a single song with an addictive chorus — which by the way doesn’t really seem to mean anything. However, the success of the commercial lies within how they were able to connect many “favorites” into a single, cohesive piece all adding up to the final tag “The World is Just Awesome.”

Global theme is something CGI has been increasingly seeing as a trend within our own client work. People today are working with more international companies and connecting with more cultures than ever before. Interactive now has to reflect this change through their design and development in order to convey our more connected world.
Engaging presentations are crucial for successfully captivating an audience. You have a lot to say, and all of it is good. But while it’s easy to fill your slides with text, it can be challenging to visualize that text into a presentation that promotes your message. So we would like to share with you some inspiration and some fundamental presentation guidelines, both from our own portfolio and from Slideshare, a San-Francisco based company that provides a platform for businesses and professionals to share their presentations online.
SlideShare recently announced winners for the ‘World’s Best Presentation of 2009′ and I have to say, the winning presentations certainly grab your attention. Among them are Dan Roam and Dr Tony Jones’ collaboration called “American Health Care: a 4-Napkin Explanation.” Voted as the winner of Slideshare’s Best Presentation of 2009. It’s clever, simple to understand and far shorter than reading the written health bills.
Let us know how we can help you improve your presentations. Check out our portfolio of completed projects.
We have recently been voted one of “Banker and Tradesman’s Best of 2009” with a Silver Award in Web Site Design Services. David Kelleher, president of CGI Interactive, said “We are very appreciative of the recognition this award brings. It is inspiring to know that so many people in New England feel our services provide the caliber of design and expertise that they look for in an agency.”
Banker & Tradesman is a leading publication in New England with a broad readership of the most influential people in the real estate, financial, and construction industries.
More than 6,000 readers responded to the annual Banker & Tradesman readers’ opinion poll, which has grown in recognition in the business community in Massachusetts. The survey measures the loyalty and satisfaction that the publication’s readers have had with service providers. It is an opportunity for the New England financial and real estate communities to speak up for those providers they believe are the best.
Every year CLIO releases its list of Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners for their awards in advertising, design, and interactive. These awards have been handed out for nearly five decades and is one of the most recognized global competitions. Not only are these awards meant to honor the winning designs, but also recognize the communication impact on modern culture. As interactive design becomes more advanced, CLIO has been keeping pace with the industry to recognize cutting edge work.
One of my favorites from the 2009 list of Gold Winners is GE’s “Plug Into the Smart Grid.” It combines clean logos, the newest in interactive technology, and promotes a message of environmental change.
