Long before reality television took over prime time, we had the "true story of seven strangers picked to live in a house." The Real World casting website ties together the show's devoted community of viewers, blurring the line between cast member, fan, and judge. The site is designed to be an immersive experience, in which members can join the action by submitting "confessional" videos or stay behind the scenes and vote for future cast members. Killswitch guided MTV through a process, with an objective to provide long term stability to this site and was able to use our unique experience in the high traffic site model, to provide invaluable development support once this site launched. The site is a custom Ruby on Rails application that combines unique knowledge of the ROR framework and the objectives of the client, to bring into alignment the overall goals of MTV. Visit the site to see what happens when people stop being polite, and start getting real - digital-style. -

Continuing our relationship with UCSD, we've created our fourth season brochure for the university's 2010-2011 ArtPower! Multi-Arts Season. ArtPower! is the University of California at San Diego's most energetic compilation of music, dance and spoken word. The program provides exciting opportunities for the UCSD and San Diego communities to engage in discovery and dialogue with creative innovators in the arts. -

Arts and entertainment organization Gen Art hired Killswitch to design a three-piece invitation to the Motorola SLVR event at Chicago’s Millennium Park. The printed piece invited guests to an elegant stop on Motorola’s worldwide promotional tour for a new revolutionary cell phone. The resulting design is on silver card-stock paper, folded into five accordion-style panels, and printed with images and text on both sides of each panel. This fold-out was then placed into a black, leathery slip cover that was foil-stamped in a silver Motorola logo with the Chicago skyline on the back. -

Killswitch loves to represent the West Side (of Chicago) when we can, and we had just such an opportunity when the Wicker Park & Bucktown Chamber of Commerce approached us to create this walking map. The map was included as an insert in an issue of TimeOut Chicago, so beyond serving as a guide for those walking the streets of the two neighborhoods, it needed to fit seamlessly with the motif of the hip monthly. The end result is a fun, accurate and visually engaging map that reflects the ambiance of Wicker Park & Bucktown.
