web work
Here is a list of some of the sites I have designed that may be worth a
look. All are archived locally unless otherwise stated.Key : [Rª = work done on site]
Tools : Textpad / Dreamweaver / Fireworks / Photoshop / Illustrator / Freehand
Wotson (WaybackMachine archive)[ Rª = site and magazine design and production ]
"With the launch of The Wotson Pocket Directory in 2003 the true potential of combining both on-line and off-line marketing for local businesses was established."
Matt Anker
- Photographer. (LIVE)[ Rª = site design and production ]
"With 15 year's experience as a professional photographer in London, Matt also follows projects of his own. Inspired by the approach of a new millennium, Matt photographed London between 1st January 1999 and 31st December 2001. His impressive collection of reportage photography provides a fascinating record of London at a significant time in history. Architectural landmarks, street scenes, cultural references and abstract compositions juxtapose historic London with an emerging new river skyline."
thePropertyAssistant.co.uk
- PDA software for estate agents. (Archive)[ Rª = graphics (inc company logo) / html / javascript / cgi/perl ]
The site is a tad spartan (ie content-light), but that's all they were after; the rational being, I suppose, that estate agents are in a blinding rush and don't hang around long enough to gawp.
OST-Systems.com
- Training and consulting company. (LIVE)[ Rª = graphics (inc company logo) / html / javascript ]
Has more content. Under-construction
OST-Systems archived site version 1
Needed more content.
Carnaby.co.uk
- re-pitch (Archive)In 2000 the
original site was due for a major overhaul, so whilst at Lokah I did a redesign
that was to be presented at a pitch to the client (Shaftsbury) - never sure
if the intermediary PR company even took it to the meeting...
Lokah.com
- Provider of location-based services. (Archive)[ Rª = graphics / html / javascript ]
Another one of those ubiquitous start-ups.
Project X - (being archived - will contain dead some links for now) How does the phrase go? "...if i tell you i will have to kill you".
Playbug.com
- Educational toys. (Archive)[ Rª = graphics / html / javascript ]
Last site i did prior to leaving GE.
SavageLondon.com
(LIVE since 1999) - Independent Fashion designer based
near Carnaby Street.[ Rª = graphics / html / javascript / production]
Initial design done while at GE. Client has since stayed with me. I think he likes to keep me busy.
Following the third revision the site acquired the "Weirdest-HM-Use-By-Far Award!" from Webreference.com (via The WaybackMachine -- scroll down to 'Special Mention'). I'm really quite keen on those made up awards.
Flash animation by Jason Young - i never seem to have the time to learn flash.
2003: In its 4th incarnation.
For this revision we dumped the flash animation (sorry Jason). As the number of pages and products on the site have now increased beyond the what was originally planned for in 1999 (six product pages displaying 38 t-shirts!), more obvious category definitions were evolved over the years so as not to allow people get lost on the site. In total the current colour, shape, and size permutation of some 200+ products are currently running at almost 23,000. If I think about this too long I may just freak.
Treasure2000.com
(to be archived correctly) - An online treasure hunt.[ Rª = graphics (inc company logo) / html / javascript / cgi ]
The premise for this site was that you are given a bunch of questions and related sites to visit for the answers, you enter the answers in the boxes set at the right of the site and enter a tie-breaker to win "big cash prizes".
Notes: The palm trees are a restructured 3d renders of the letter J in the truetype webdings font. Also went to the extreme of 3D rendering the little animated goldfish that leap out of the water. The client was equally as much fun to work with as well.
Tip: As the links to the off-site answers are now out of date, just put any numbers in the answers box to see the tie-breaker.
Headlights.com
- Dope growing kits. [ Rª = graphics (inc company logo) / html / javascript ]
Sister site to www.seedbank.co.uk. Just not enough content.
NewDawn
- Site for roofing system manufacturer.[ Rª = graphics / html / dhtml / javascript ]
Thule
Global Security.com - International military security consultancy[ Rª = graphics / html / javascript ]
One day out of the blue these three really heavy characters just turned up at the office and asked that we do a site for them. They are an international military-style enterprise the details of which i chose not to get too interested in. The brief for the site was simply that it had to be "dark".
Carnaby.co.uk
- Virtual tour of Carnaby Street and its environs.[ Rª = graphics / html / javascript ]
The first major site that Global Edge was commissioned to do. For the virtual tour to work it required photography of the streets and shop fronts and tight liaison with the estate regarding updates for shops in the area that seemed to be moving around and appearing out of nowhere on a regular basis.
The Java app is the creative product of Piet Jonas & Carlo Lazzaris. A major tip of the hat goes to Vicky France who spent many an hour putting up with my art direction.
GlobalEdge.co.uk
/ TheInternetOffice.com [ Rª = graphics (inc company logo) / html / javascript ]
Site for small company formed with work associates at Cyberia
Poppets.com
(1997) [ Rª = graphics / html / javascript ]
Site for those chocolate covered raisins. Made after hours while working at Kingston-upon-Thames' Cyberia as 'cyber-host'. The site was designed when the standard screen res of the time was 640x480.
The site got a mention by Davey Winder on Yahoo!'s UK & Ireland Davey's November Picks.
Ca-Fé-Re-De-Sign
(circa '96-97)Just some notes for the guys in the café.
Marvel
Comics UK. (circa '80s)From the old days courtesy of Alan McKenzie's The Story Works site.
Note: 1.
"The staff associated with the magazine were also key to the modest success of Starburst. ..."
Note: 2.
"In 1981, Starburst was on a bit of a roll. Sales were good - safely above 20K - and I felt we could apply the Starburst formula to mainstream movies. ..."
