Happy New Year from da Haus!
We've been a little behind in our monthly Hotflash duties...but we have an excuse! The Fuelhaus wünderteam has been busy writing content for a brand new online graphic design course that launches today!

The course has 12 self-guided modules with lessons and projects teaching design, design history, typography and graphic illustration. Each module is accompanied by in-depth video tutorials that guide students through the software needed to become a proficient graphic designer.

The website also serves as a virtual classroom. The login accessible "schoolyard" gives students access to additional tutorials, and resources. The interactive interface also gives them personal access to their professors and students in their social network. It's cool!

Fuelhaus has written, designed and produced almost all of the content for the course, which includes 600+ pages of content and over 30 video tutorials (...they haven't slept in a couple of months!). Want to learn how to design like a pro? Visit The Graphic Design School and sign up!

Fuelhaus has been busy developing the components for Qualcomm's VentureFest 2009. We helped come up with a theme, a logo, a cool platypus character and an internal website promoting Qualcomm's annual program.

The website (pictured at left) uses flash and CSS technologies to showcase photos, content and streaming video...and in pure Fuelhaus fashion, it has a few quirky tidbits that make it extra fun (like a spinning wold and a hovering platypus).

If you'd like to see it in action, send us a quick note. We've got a sample of the homepage that you can look at!

Ecard campaigns are a great way to send folks a happy thought, advertise a promotion or create a viral campaign. Great e-cards also build brands by creating and cultivating your brand culture.

Take a look at the sample card on the left. Fuelhaus found a way that you can send happy thoughts and get better ROI. When your image, logo and contact information are attached to each and every card, great things happen: phones ring, emails ding and new networks happen. We all want that!

Fuelhaus has built a really great web-based technology that makes everybody happy. Each person in your office (from 2 to 2000) is in control. They can upload their own email list and their own photo, logo and contact info before sending.

You (as the boss) can control the message (the actual e-card) and have the ability to track the success of every campaign. It's brilliant! Give us a call or email Michelle to learn how we can do this for you.
