My visit in Cyprus helped me evaluate my clients concerning this web design project. I had a number of long meetings with various companies and organizations and I came down with 3 potential clients. I think the following 3 cover the requirements for an interesting and stimulating project which includes an enterprise importing and distributing international brands, an advertising agency with plenty of output material concerning our field of graphic design (motion graphics, advertising, branding etc), and finally a non-profit organization of adventure seekers and 4x4 car lovers.
These are the profiles of those clients:
1. Kirmico Ltd
Kirmico is a company involved with office machines and equipment for almost 50 years, for the last 12 years they have been specializing in Printers, Automatic Coin Processing Machines, and Professional Scanners and document Shredding machines. Kirmico has been importing well-known office machine brands like KYOCERA printers, SCAN COIN and FUJITSU.
The company always employs trained and experienced technicians and engineers for the installation and support of the proposed printers and various machinery. They are in productive cooperation with many respectable companies involved in the Information Technology.
Furthermore, they organize training seminars to a number of technicians from the I.T. Dept. of various major account customers which makes them capable of first level repairs which saves a lot of down-time cost to all parties concerned.
2.Contact Advertising Agency LTD
Contact are following an evolutionary route from a traditional advertising agency to full spectrum Communications Company. They offer Integrated Communication services and they generate ideas that build value for their clients' brands and ensure their success. They also believe in strategic partnerships in order to accelerate their evolution for their clients benefit.
Contact's Mission:
Generate strategic ideas that help brands resonate in people's hearts and thus they create brand loyalty and brand preference.
3.Extreme 4x4 Adventure
The Land Rover story runs parallel to the history of 4x4 driving and adventure seeking. This could not have been any different in Cyprus and these locals or visitors who enjoy this exciting side of life… those who dare.
Adventure does not necessarily need to be on the wild or even dangerous side. It can very well be, of a pleasant type. Those who seek it are those who like the adrenaline to run above normal everyday levels hoping to be just enough to add some spice in their life.
The website will be dedicated to all those enthusiasts’ who love Land Rovers and their unique capabilities. It aims to promote everything related to this particular make of automobiles and assist those people who want to enjoy such an experience. It will attempt to explain and bring to their attention what they may need to know.

It's feeling a wee bit corporate at the moment- are they going to let you have some fun with what you propose?
Although your research and explination of the three companies you want to work with is thorough, can you however remind me of your main objective with this project, ie:
Is it to update corporate image on the web, is it to identify a national look or to unify within a european aesthetic?...or another motive maybe?
You also need to eliviate my major concern that with 9 weeks remaining you can undertake the design of three 'live' websites.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM STILL AWAITING A REPONSE TO THE CONCERNS THAT I RAISED REAGARDING YOUR PROJECT, DATED 2 APRIL 07.

I apologise for my late response to the concerns about this project. Last few days back home were extremely busy. Clarifying my objective through this web-project, my aim is to thoroughly practise and strengthen my skills in Flash web design and introduce myself and my work, in the minds of the Cypriot market industry. During my research over there, I tried to get hold of companies whose activities would be interesting enough to be part of this years’ Final Show (advertising, print, fashion etc.).
All these companies have very poor looking html websites, done amateurishly by either themselves or freelance designers. They wanted to update their image on the web, since they seem to be having a growing progression in the market and the public’s awareness, and they trusted me with the task of providing them with this successful new web-look. All the contacts were made through people I know.
GTS’s concern that 9 weeks may not be enough to undertake all the websites (3), have raised a similar concern on my part as well. Although I am confident that I can complete the project, I feel that possibly I can accomplish a better standard outcome, if I only engage in 2 websites, instead of 3. I would really appreciate GTS’s view on that. Having said that, the 2 websites that I feel would be best to work at, are the one representing Contact Advertising and Extreme4x4Adventure, since I like the fact that one is a non-profit organisation and the other is a full-working experience advertising agency. I think they would look compatible together. I have complete freedom from the clients to work in any way I want, since they believe they are gaining a much better website for free…
