I was tasked with coming up with a look and feel for a microblogging event based in London. Media140 brought together journalists, publishers and bloggers to share and discuss the effects and impact of twitter and other social media tools on mainstream media. This was a great project to get involved with as there was no existing brand. Playing on the 'Twitter' theme, I was able to have some fun illustrating a character featured throughout the site. The event itself was broadcast live via audio and video on the site, as well as #Media140 hash tags, appearing as a live feed. The event was a huge success, with the hash tag reaching number 1 in the trending topics. I hope to develop this brand further, with more events planned in the near future.

I am running the London marathon with a friend of mine on April 26th. I needed a blog to keep people up to date with my training, and fund raising events I may be throwing. I wanted Griff vs Lewis to have a very eye-catching style, as the main focus is to attact potential users to sponsor us. If you are feeling extra generous today, please don't hesitate to sponsor me for a great cause

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.

CooperLive are a small events company based in the south of England. I was tasked with creating an identity for the company from the ground up. This included logo design, choosing brand colours and eventually creating an identity for them on the web. The site had to showcase their list of acts and services, while making it easy for people to book online. A main focus for me in the design of the site was to contrast the top header area with the footer. I did this with both use of colour and the placement of silhouettes.

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.

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.

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.

Over the coming six months, Fran and his dog Dave will be running 3 marathons. They needed an online area where people could go to see how the training is going, see how close they are to their target and view pictures from the event. The blog was given a retro feel, and illustrations were created of the two competitors too add an element of fun to the design.

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.

1 girl, 1 month, 1 alphabet, hundreds of shows. The strapline to ABC Edinburgh sums up the concept of the site perfectly.

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.

New jobs can be posted, and potential candidates can apply for jobs directly on the site. There is also a search function built in and an RSS news feed

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.
