“Here at slantis, we foster a disruptive mindset that seeks to create new things and stay ahead of the game 
And of course, our AVAIL interface had to reflect this. First, we classified our channels by topic or content. Then, assign one of our bright brand colors to each one.
Finally, we added a creative, content-aligned design for the channel to faithfully portray the merging of our passion, the team, our values, technology, and most importantly, our daily collaboration spirit!
Regarding the funky mesh, we collected data from our Slack channels, filtered it, got deeper insights about pj.5s, selected a generative design, personalized a code, added our color palette, and voila! 
Check out the whole process here!” And as for the more architecture-oriented channels, we chose in-house-made families and details.”
“Taylor Design was an early adopter of AVAIL and we were super excited when Channel Cards were released as it allowed us to give some visual guidance in addition to the names of the channels to help guide people to the content they need. Our orange logo helps them find loadable family content, dark grey for detail views/sheets and a variety of other logos for different types of content.”
“We recently did a complete overhaul of the content that was in the channels. We wanted something to signify a change in the channels. Our previous channel cards were simple, with the company logo in the bottom right and the channel name in the middle. Our marketing team was able to come up with something simple and still easy to understand.”
“At SNHA, we use AVAIL to index and point to our Revit content and digital assets. Avail provides us with a platform where we can access all of our content and assets, regardless of where they are stored.
We use color-coded channel cards in Avail to organize and classify our content. The cards are based on Sheehan Nagle graphic standards and standard color schemes. We use black channel cards for Revit content, red channel cards for scripting, and blue channel cards for project-specific content. This allows us to easily identify the type of content we are looking at, and also helps us to keep our content organized and well-structured.
In addition to indexing and pointing to content, Avail also allows us to set up permissions and access controls to ensure that only authorized users can access certain content. Overall, AVAIL is an essential tool for us at SNHA, helping us to efficiently access and organize our Revit content and digital assets, and maintain the security and integrity of our content.”
The colors chosen are colors we use on all of our project proposals, block plans for clients and in-house presentations. We’re especially excited about the Company Events Channel where anyone can look back on all the amazing Hendy parties and industry events. It will be a true record of our culture of hard work, design excellence and family-style culture.”
“We designed the graphics for the Channel Cards with the company colors in mind as well as adding the company logo. We also stated whether it’s English or French so the user can easily navigate to their preferred language.”
“With the simplicity of a diamond shape and its colors, our logo creates a strong presence. We found layering it in as a watermark, a great way to give immediate branding. And then to have a bit of whimsy for our structural families, we modeled framing and foundations to match the logo’s shape. The end result is quite striking!”
“Within channels, Taylor Design has employed a few features to help people dive quickly into other content we’ve categorized. Logos in the bottom right corner help identify the source of the content, images convey the general content and for 2D line-based families such as annotations we went for a throw-back style of blueprint paper.”
“Along with our logo and a title, we have added a picture from our projects to clearly display what you will find within this Key Card.”
“We wanted to make finding content easier for the user by color coordinating each discipline. Under each discipline the sub-categories match the color of the corresponding discipline.”
“We wanted to make finding content easier for the user by color coordinating each discipline. Under each discipline the sub-categories match the color of the corresponding discipline. Image attached displays what’s under the English Architectural discipline.”
“We wanted to make finding content easier for the user by color coordinating each discipline. Under each discipline the sub-categories match the color of the corresponding discipline. Image attached displays another option using icons instead of lifestyle images.”
“We wanted to make finding content easier for the user by color coordinating each discipline. Under each discipline the sub-categories match the color of the corresponding discipline. Image attached displays what’s under the English Mechanical discipline.”
“For the Key Card contest submission, I used Midjourney to create Avail channel cards that showcased our Canstruction Project Photos, online tools, Holiday Photos, Workshops, and Project Photos. Using Midjourney, I customized our office-wide template with my own images and text related to these topics, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design. I also ensured that the channel cards had a consistent theme and color scheme, using a font style that reflected the SNHA brand and the tone of my content.
“At IMEG, we are introducing our new friend Gemi (Gem-ee), to help us all have fun with AVAIL. Gemi is showing off our Detail Library while sporting our IMEG logo. No need for a library of books, because we have AVAIL. Our Revit Content shows an image that helps the consumer understand what content is included in this channel. The Structural Teams channel incorporates our entire discipline with all hands in. Go Team IMEG!!”
