The shopper simply enters their parking space number and zone color into the app, and upon returning, the app displays a map and directions from their location, back to their parked car.  The app is free and was just released in the iTunes Store. It will soon be released as a Droid app in Google Play and the Amazon Appstore.

“We learn something new from LJG on every digital media project we collaborate on together.  Our totally new and unique parking spot locator app at Atlantic Station – the Southeast’s premier live/work/play environment located in the heart of Midtown Atlanta – is a great example. No one in the digital media business is more creative, enthusiastic and responsive to current trends and innovations.”

A longtime client of LJG, Pardee Homes, since 1921, has been providing smart solutions to homebuyers and civic leaders, with great locations, quality construction, community partnerships and industry-leading green and safe building practices.

LJG works closely with Pardee on all of their digital marketing initiatives including website creation and maintenance, email campaigns, banner advertising, 3D animation, and lead management systems across all of their regions.

“I have worked with LJG for the past decade, and our sales and marketing team look to LJG to partner with us on all of our digital marketing initiatives.  Our website is critical to our success and we are excited about the opportunities the redesign is already yielding.  The website refresh, combined with a new email sendout engine that LJG is helping us to institute, will continue to help Pardee maximize its marketing dollars and yield better, more successful relationships between our employees and our homebuyers.”

LJG is honored to be a marketing and design resource to the Chambers Group.

During the course of the past four years, I have had the pleasure of working with LJG on two website designs for two different companies. Why I return to LJG is their people; they are a dedicated group of smart, hard working individuals who take the time to listen and understand our company, our services and clients, and our industry. As a result, they produce a website that truly translates their understanding into a design that perfectly fits our message and brand.

The launch of the new mobile site helps Kazork maintain its objective of providing home sellers, homebuyers, real estate agents and other real estate professionals the ability to complete simple, efficient, paperless and transparent online real estate transactions. The tool has also been reconfigured for the iPad and is widely used today.

Kazork is a Software as a Service (SaaS) used by real estate agents, home sellers and homebuyers to complete online real estate transactions. Users registered on Kazork complete transactions anywhere in the world. Kazork does not list or sell real estate. Kazork is simply a SaaS for users to conduct their own real estate transactions online.

January has been a whirlwind already, but that’s what we thrive on.  We’re kicking off many  projects with new clients in a diverse set of industries.  Very exciting, not just because we can bring in our interactive expertise to help our clients, but we’re keeping ourselves on the forefront of many market sectors as we translate their visions into cutting-edge interfaces and campaigns.

A few of the projects we’re exceptionally thrilled about are:

• A redesigned  website, logo, and annual report for a major medical center on the UCSD Campus
• A 3D animated video and touchscreen kiosk for one of the nation’s best retail developers
• A redesigned website for a thriving and award-winning environmental agency
• A mobile and iPad compatible site for a major real estate SaaS company
• A new website for a major energy company

We’ll keep the updates coming, but for now, it’s time to get back to work!

Location Based Services (LBS)
LBS enables services to be delivered to consumers based on their location, but this will go a few steps further.  A more intelligent experience will come from context based services, depending on users’ personal preference, gender, age, profession, intention and so on.

Social Networking
As major social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter) become mainstream on mobile, they’re becoming portals and cloud storage for all types of email, messaging, photo and video data.  They’ll be driven toward a new role in acting as data warehouses, providing data to major consumer brands.

Enhanced Mobile Search
Instead of just searching, mobile users will take action based on their search result, like making a reservation, buying a ticket or placing an order.

Mobile Commerce
Mobile users will have the ability to “check in” to a store to alert a retailer that you are there, or the ability to add items to a shopping cart simply by taking a photo of an item or bar code in the physical store.

Object Recognition
Apps will soon come to the market with enhanced capabilities that allow users to rely on the camera, as well as other device sensors to search and communicate.

1. SWYP (See What You Print) Printer

This is just a concept in the works, but a very cool one.  You’ll be able to use the handy touchscreen right on the printer to do all of the normally confusing and time-consuming tasks on a traditional printer:

2. iTwin

iTwin is just like a pair of USB drives and will enable you to get the data from your home computer without a cable or third party software.

Insert one USB drive in your home computer and take the other with you. Whenever, you want data simply put the drive in any computer in any part of the world and you will be able to reach your data in your home computer without any fear of loss of data.

3. Tefal Toast ‘n Egg
Behold! The toaster on steroids. This is genius. Pop everything in the same time, and voilà! It also has a meat warmer for the bacon that will go on your breakfast sandwich- that you’ll be able to whip up in less than five minutes.

4.    Sony Playstation 3D Display

This bad boy has a 24 inch full HD 1080p resolution screen with SimulView which enables two spec wearing players to see their own individual full screen feeds in 2D. Watch TV and movies in 3D or 2D with built in speakers. It even comes with a game and 3D glasses, and is reasonably priced.

5.    Porsche BlackBerry
Porsche and BlackBerry teamed up to create  the P’9981.  This little gem is made of a single slab of aluminum and black leather back. It’s equipped for high-speed internet and recording video in HD quality, and is sure to be a popular item on the wish list!

6.    Weezy Bluetooth Music Receiver
Play your phone or computer’s music library on your stereo system using Bluetooth connection. Completely wireless, full HiFi quality and has much more visual appeal than the standard dock.

We can’t give away too much quite yet, but along with a number of website redesigns, we’ll also be working on iPhone, iPad and Droid apps, touchscreen kiosks, laptop presentations, responsive design, video, logo redesign, social media campaigns and more.

We’ll keep the blog updated, so check back often!
