| Madison House Design : Home | ||
| Greetings! Welcome to the MHD website, which serves as our portfolio and link to the outside world. We are a small collective of creative and inspired designers. We specialize in art and design for the entertainment industries, but we eagerly welcome the chance to work with any and all businesses and individuals. We have worked with bands, management companies, film production companies, record labels, photographers, magzines and more. Not to mention engineering firms, health care professionals, insurance companies and the like, so we're pretty well versed. Below are some recent works and perhaps a news item or two. Don't hesitate to shoot us an email! |

| SCI Fidelity Records Website Finally, after a brave and prolific life, the second generation SCI Fideltiy records website has been retired. We designed it over 8 years ago, and needless to say, technology has changed considerable in that time. For scifidelity.com v3.0 we have implemented the enitre site using WordPress, and includes Twitter feeds from the artists, hot-off-the-press news and release info, and a custom jukebox with tons of audio and video. |

| Madison House Publicity We designed the first Madison House Publicity site about 10 years ago. Somehow, it managed to stay functional over the couse of that time, but this new site is state of the art, and possible the most complex site we've designed to date. The back-end of the site uses Joomla to control all the content, including bios, downloadable press photos, press rleases, news itmes, Twitter feeds, music and contact information. All the content on the site is easily maintained by the great folks at MH Publicity, and the sliding content areas on the artist press kits are really cool and space saving. |

Circus themes, burlesque posters and retro mathcbook covers were the inspiration for this Yard Dogs Road Show poster.
