2M2 : Talent Agency Webfolio
and branded image bank


Posted March 15, 2009 by Bob

2M2 is a high-caliber creative talent agency and event productions company representing premiere international photographic and visual effects artists. Dynamo designed the 2M2 website exclusively as a sophisticated online showcase and repository for 2M2’s talent roster folios.

Every effort was made to enhance the viewing experience in order to allow users a detailed and immersive visit. After the minimalist language splashpage, users arrive at the main navigation and are immediately displayed a randomly-sampled rotation of portfolio imagery. The talent name listings in each of the talent subcategories display a dynamic full window preview to entice users to make a selection for further investigation. Portfolio image windows are presented in LCD monitor-friendly widescreen format and large format thumbnail images are readily accessible for quick perusal upon simple rollover on the right of the main image window.



An Image Bank recently added to the original mandate now allows 2M2 to leverage the stock and non-commercial imagery its artists create on a regular basis, making them available for leasing and purchase when a directed photoshoot is not possible or when more general subject matter is appropriate. Here are some screens of the easy to browse Image Bank gallery and detail pages, the latter containing high res samples that are automatically watermarked with 2M2's logotype through our backend tool :



The web is the primary tool for which 2M2 develops and maintains clients across North America & Europe. With talent constantly roaming the globe on project assignments, a focus on building a robust custom web-based CMS to compliment the understated and sophisticated front-end design skin was integral to our strategic approach. 2M2’s talent has individual control of the addition, editing, naming and deletion of their own section folios and descriptors – and are able to upload new folios within minutes of the creation of these assets from a web browser anywhere on the globe.

Here's a sample screen showing the simple and efficient backend that empowers all 2M2 talent to manage, update and create new galleries and upload image bank assets as they are created.

If you followed us all the way here without clicking one of the external links in the text - Bravo! Here's the live site.
