Previous to October 2004 individual press releases:

ARIZONA HIGHWAYS MAGAZINE LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE WITH DESIGN FROM TORNADO DESIGN

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — August 14, 2003 — Few states have a greater single voice of marketing than does Arizona. No one can ignore the power a simple magazine has on shaping opinion about the state. For over 75 years the magazine has been "the" state publication telling the world about the beautiful deserts and mountains in Arizona.

So it's no surprise that when the opportunity arose to design the web site for Arizona Highways, we said yes! Arizona Highways picked a local development firm we have worked with on many occasions to handle the project, and they turned to us along with one other Arizona firm to present designs.

Our design was selected as the most appropriate in March and after being integrated with a Coldfusion backend, launched at www.arizonahighways.com.

Arizona Highways has a circulation of more than 350,000 copies monthly (with 75% being out of Arizona) and estimated readership close to 1 million every month. Every month the magazine features scenic photography and travel stories from some of the best writers and photographers in Arizona.

 

SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST (SXSW) INTERACTIVE FINALIST: THE 35TH INFANTRY DIVISION IN WWII WEB SITE

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — March 11, 2003 — The web site we produced for the 35th Infantry Division Association is a finalist in the 2003 SXSW Interactive competition!

When asked for his reaction, Chris Tingom, Principal, said "we're excited about the opportunity to see our work recognized among so many other great sites, and we expect the value of our work to be seen by the fine people at the Smithsonian Institution, PBS, National Geographic, and some of the other big names in interactive education. Sites that make knowledge accessible are our favorite kind to create."

The site, which launched in September 2002, continues to receive high amounts of traffic, appropriate for its role as a learning resource for the generations born after WWII as well as a resource for veterans of WWII to meet and talk.

 

SIGN OF THE TIMES? CYLEX SIGNS, A MAKER OF SYNTHETIC ROCK SIGNAGE, ASKS TORNADO TO PRODUCE A NEW WEB SITE AND BROCHURES

SCOTTSDALE, AZ — March 11, 2003 — Cylex is the premier source for quality signage for golf courses, residential and commercial properties, as well as for entrance and other rock signage. Cylex has been building signage for companies around the world for over twenty years and is considered the market leader in golf course signage.

We worked with Cylex to build a comprehensive web site and also a series of brochures.

The new web site at www.cylexsigns.com uses photo galleries to showcase the wide variety of signage that Cylex has created and helps potential customers evaluate their needs and see what is possible with Cylex signage.

For each of the three kinds of signage that Cylex specializes in, we created three brochures to accompany the website. Each brochure features bold colors and dynamic uses of copy and images to convey quality and style.

Tornado and Cylex continue to work together on enhancing the Cylex online presence and other projects.
