We can help you document and share your work, craft PSAs for television
or your website, or develop your story into a full-length
documentary. Our videos have won awards, screened at major environmental
film festivals, and aired on public television. From conceptual planning
and storyboarding to original soundtrack composition and recording,
we do it all in-house, which keeps costs down while ensuring a consistent,
engaging video that effectively reaches your target audience. We
shoot in high definition digital video and edit on Final Cut Pro. |
Web Design
Your website is your de facto public face, your front door to the
world. If it looks good, you look good. Whether you are a small organization
in need of a simple, sleek site or a larger institution looking

can help. More info...

We craft inexpensive yet sophisticated websites from scratch,
take on complex redesigns of outdated sites, design flash animation
and multimedia features, and program backend elements such as online
databases and content management systems (CMS). Our biggest priority
with websites is making sure they are usable - intuitively organized
and easily updated, with content that effectively gets your message
across. We program in HTML, JavaScript, MySQL, and PHP;
design with Photoshop and Flash; and train our clients to manage
their sites using Dreamweaver, Contribute, and customized CMS. |

We can help you condense everything you
are and aspire to be into a simple, evocative logo. Then we ensure
that your visual identity is consistently applied to stationery,
business cards, brochures, newsletters and anything else you see
fit to print. We also manage printing projects and help you make
sure your mission is reflected in the percentage of recycled paper
content and the environmentally friendliness of your inks. We
design in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop and work with green
printers around the country. |
Writing
For all the bells and whistles in the world of communication, straight-forward
prose is often the best way to share your stories. Our academic
foundation in environmental science enables us to accurately deliver
your information while engaging readers. More

With professional writing experience that ranges from weekly
articles for educational publisher McGraw-Hill to feature stories
for the environmental newspaper Northern Sky News, we are ready reporters,
available to cover special events, craft annual reports, contribute
to newsletters, and develop copy for brochures and websites. We bring
to all writing projects extensive knowledge of conservation, environmental
science, and green business, as well as plenty of experience with
primary and and secondary research. We write with #2 pencils and
on QWERTY keyboards. |
Curriculum Development
Tamarack goes beyond promotion and advocacy, working
with clients to develop educational materials that are grounded in
learning theory, correlated with national learning standards, and
easy to use. More

Whether your audience is children or adults, your
setting formal or informal, we can help you craft engaging materials
that raise awareness, develop critical thinking skills, and empower
environmental stewards. We have developed curricula covering
diverse subjects such as bear biology and environmental ethics.
We also produce teaching guides to accompany video documentaries
and have developed and tested an environmentally themed youth video
program. We are big fans of John Dewey and Hungerford & Volk. |
Multimedia and Interactives
All of the above. Except with multimedia, when done right, the
sum is greater than the parts. Kiosks, online games, and live
presentations are a few examples of how Tamarack bundles its services
into interactive packages. More

Tamarack designs electronic kiosks
with rich content -- including live data, interactive diagrams, video
clips, and animations such as Turbo the Turbine -- to accompany renewable
energy systems in green buildings. We have also developed the
content for online games exploring smart consumption and coral reef
conservation, projects in which we partnered with some of the leaders
in educational gaming and games for social change. And yes, we make
Powerpoint presentations that would make Al Gore proud. We are constantly
scanning the media horizon for the latest technical developments
to create cutting-edge interactive presentations. |
