Site Launch: Activate.ie
25 May 2009 | Filed Under: Portfolio
The first of a few completed sites I’m late adding to my portfolio. Activate Ireland was a slightly unusual project in that this was an existing site with existing logo, content and layout that just needed to be ported to WordPress and given a new container – a facelift rather than major structural work, if you will. I’m mad keen on the stripes, the flowering growth motif, and the always popular and hilariously named Vag Rounded font.

I thought it was just me who couldn’t keep a straight face when confronted with VAG Rounded. How do you keep a straight face when discussing it ?

Oh thank God, I thought it was just *me* also!
The only way I can manage it is to avoid saying it at all – so it’s always “your font” instead of “the Vag font” or GOD FORBID “your Vag.”
If it makes you feel any better, it’s the Volkwagen font and is probably pronounced VEE AY GEE or like the “-vagen” bit of Volkswagen. But despite this, no – I cannot keep a straight face.

Beautiful design, Sabrina. I love the rotating banner in the header. Very slick. Too often that technique is over-killed, perfectly done on Activate though.
