Chelsea 2010 kit launch

Adidas
Cathedral City
  • When: June 2010
  • Role: Design | Animation
  • View site

To celebrate the launch of the new Chelsea kit, Iris worked alongside legendary Pop Artist Sir Peter Blake to produce a collage that represents everything Chelsea. The digital hub allows users to see the making-of the collage, as well as explore the kit. We also produced a Facebook App that allows fans to prove how Chelsea they are. This is bought to life using videos of the players and personlised content pulled straight from the user's profile.

To create a new identity for the Nation's Favourite cheese online, I created a real-life Cathedral City. Using photography I took myself in and around Kingston, I comped a city-scape together. I am extremely pleased with the end result. Have a look around for yourself and let me know what you think.


Music Everywhere

Music Everywhere
  • When: May 2010

  • View site

To launch the new Sony Ericsson X10 and Vivaz handsets, I was tasked with coming up with a promotional based site that worked alongside Spotify. The site allows users to see 8 of today's top artists' journey-based playlists utilising google maps technology. We also worked with Jonathan from Spotify to create rwo product demo's, hosted on YouTube.


Website design & branding

U-Media
U Media
  • When: August 2009
  • Role: Branding | Design | Flash

I worked alongside U-Media to give their entire brand a much needed overhaul. U-Media specialise in digital recruitment, and so they needed an online space that they could be proud of. It is a simple one page site, that pulls in info from Twitter and Tumblr as well as offers space to display latest jobs. Candidates can then apply for these jobs directly through the site. Thanks to @canofpopcom for a great build job.

After the success of the first event in London early in 2009, I was asked to design a hub in which to showcase future events. I had already created a mascot for the brand with the previous iteration of the site, but with this version I managed to have a lot of fun and take the mascot on a journey around the world!


'The Pulse' Website design

Sony Ericsson
The Pulse
  • When: June 2009
  • Role: Concept | Design
  • View site

'The Pulse' is the redesign of the Sony Ericsson trade site. It offers people details on all the handsets, latest news, and the ability to compare products and learn more about them through content such as videos and interactive demos. The entire project took about 6 weeks of design time which involved concepting the main homepage flash area of the site as well as designing all of the content pages. This is the biggest project I have ever undertaken and the results are fantastic. Have a play with the site, I think you will agree that the build is absolutely fantastic. I hope to be involved in this level with future projects as it has been a joy seeing the end result.


Website design

Cambridge college of English
Cambridge College of English
  • When: January 2009
  • Role: Graphic Design
  • View site

The brief was to create a very simple and clean online pressence for a new language school based in Cambridge. The site would act as a hub for prospective students to sign up for courses and learn a little about what the school has to offer. The colour pallette was selected to denote elegance, and overall I am pleased with both the design and the build.


End of year event animation

T-Mobile
  • When: December 2008
  • Role: Design | Animation | Sound Design
  • View video

To mark the end of the year for T-Mobile Business Partners, I was briefed to come up with an animation to inform of their successes. I used strong typography and simple illustrations to get their message across. I was inspired by intro sequences by Soul Bass, but tried to give it a very contemporary look and feel.


RIM Possible animation

T-Mobile
  • When: October 2008
  • Role: Design | Animation | Sound Design
  • View video

The MIssion RIM Possible Site has been live now for over 3 months and to mark the half-way phase (and to announce the winners of the half-way prize), I was asked to design an animation. The style of the site lends itself well to motion graphics, and videos from the site could be integrated into the animation. The speedy movement was complimented with an over-the-top soundtrack.


Vaio in-store demo

Sony
  • When: September 2008
  • Role: Graphic Design | Animation
  • View video

To help launch the new series of Sony Vaio desktop computers, we were asked to produce a series of animations to be used in-store and at events. The concept of the animation was to show the contrast between using the computer for work and for play. To achieve this, I used After Effects to create a 3D environment in which to transition between the 2 contrasting situations.


Walkman launch animation

Sony
  • When: September 2008
  • Role: Graphic Design | Animation
  • View video

To launch the new Sony Walkman series, Gyro were asked to produce an animation for use in-store. We took the style laid down in the print campaign, but adjusted it to work for motion graphics. Each one of the 4 posters in the environment represent a different era of music. The camera was moved through the garage, and elements jump out of the posters to highlight the features of the products.


Staines Central

Invista
Staines Central

To coincide with the launch of a new business development in Staines, a website was produced for potential buyers and renters. The site was built entirely in Flash, and my role was to take the static designs and bring them to life online. The concept was to show all the different aspects of the development, from transport to technology and beyond.

SportsAid are a charity helping the next generation of sports people. Their site was long overdue an upgrade. As it stood, the client was not able to update content their end. A full CMS was offered as a solution. They are now able to update news and events with relative ease. This site marks the largest site I have designed to date, and i had to think a lot more about the content than I had done previously. I am overall happy with the finished site, and I hope it will service their needs for years to come.
