Virgin Media - Mix It Up TV | |

This website was built to go along with the Virgin Media TV campaign. I was asked to build a few of the pages, using valid XHTML and to AA compliant accessibility standards. The HTML pages provide a different version of the page if Flash isn't enabled in the user's browser.

Head and Shoulders | |

This was a product selector for Head and Shoulders France. The bottles switch and move back and forth as the mouse rolls over. It was built using Object Oriented AS2, with separate classes for the bottles, using the tweener class for the animation.

Orange Virtual Village | |

Orange Virtual Village shows how communication may take place between different sets of machines. The microsite was done entirely in Flash, and I made amends and updates to the site that had already been built by a different agency. This meant I had to rework the code in certain areas, work out how it had been built in the first place and then add to it. Additional design elements were also added, alongside additional navigation areas and document printouts.

Pantene | |

Work for Pantene included email campaigns, html builds and flash elements that needed to be updated or reworked. Work was also done across all of the European Pantene websites - which included France, Germany and Greece for content updates and development. In particular, I have shown screenshots of the Pantene Greece Model of the year microsite, which I was responsible for building. This had a PHP backend and selection of models all displayed dynamically.

Alfa Romeo 147 Collezione | |

I built the Alfa microsite, as accessible as possible but still rigidly adhering to the designs. It validates as HTML strict and also incorporates javascript and flash elements. The flash video was filmed offsite, alongside the model who was also layered on top of the existing flash. The flash on the homepage triggers the navigation bar at the top of the page. It was also hosted on .Net server, and some of the functionality was written in C#.

Olay | |

The Olay site needed updating with Flash elements and a new section to the Olay products range. I added the flash and html elements, and also bugfixed on the Olay products homepage. I also redeveloped the html version of the products homepage, and added the extra ribbons section.

Vauxhall | |

I was brought in as a contractor for BMB to work on the frontend code for the Vauxhall VXR testdrive site. The site provides information about the VXR range of cars. I was responsible for the HTMl and CSS - it works cross browser, and is also accessible in a text only version. The backend information was stored in a MySql database, using Pear and PHP. This was developed by a colleague at BMB. This gave me an introduction to Pear, and its functionality. I implemented the accordions within the site - developed using MooTools, a javascript toolbox, that reduces development time, and provides a solid foundation to work on.

St Gobain / B-Live | |

St Gobain needed a character that could be used to get across their identity to young people within the Bedfordshire region. It was designed using Illustrator, and ultimately was to be used as an animation in Flash. The character fulfilled a number of design brief outlines - primarily to appeal to a younger, casual audience, with a laid back demeanor and cool branding.

Big Yellow Storage |

Big Yellow work included tweaking existing banners, idents and artwork, coding up web pages using CSS and MooTools where applicable, and also creating some flash and javascript elements.

Pedalite

This site was built to sell the pedalite pedal. I completed the logo design, site design, development and build, plus flash elements and Shopcreator ecommerce implementation. The site was built using a mixture of PHP, flash and css. It ranks highly in search engines, closely monitored using Adwords and Google, and is now the only sales outlet for the Pedalite product.

Agreon

Agreon are an IT provisioning company with offices based in Sydney and Ireland. They provide IT services for banks and telecoms companies, such as Vodafone and ANZ. I was responsible for the requirements analysis, design and implementation of the whole site, it uses Python, Zope server, CSS HTML and Flash.

I also helped with the development of the Intranet, using Open source collaboration software, and messaging systems to help with scheduling of tasks, project and client management.

The Sons

The Sons are a Derby based band, and I was asked to design their website to portfolio their gig dates, provide information about the band, and allow band followers to get in touch with the group. The overall design was based on their album cover. I designed around this idea further to create the stars and rocket that light up the front page. It was supposed to be a bit cheeky, and offer something a little different. The site uses flash, is wholly CSS based and some Javascript. Band members are responsible for site updates and content.

First Call Communications

This website is a brochure site for the Poole based communications company, First Call. It provides information on products, how to contact the company and sign up to the mailing list. The website was built using CSS, Flash elements and a PHP backend. I designed and built the whole site - including the layout and logo.

Great Western Wine | |

I designed the front end to the Great Western Wine site - with some design requirements specified by another agency - to be kept simple, classic and adhere to brand guidelines. The site incorporated Iconography Ecommerce and Content Management.

Westland Helicopters | |

Westland are a multinational 2 billion dollar company, that make the world renowned Apache helicopter, plus many other types of aircraft. I designed their site whilst at Iconography. It was designed to exist alongside their parent company website which has a similar look and feel. Developed in Coldfusion, CSS, HTML and used Flash elements to engage the user.

Clarks | |

This was a character created to be part of a multimedia booth concept. I was responsible for the design of the character, his movement, and the rest of the presentation.

ZoomOnMe.com

This site was designed for the Los Angeles photographer Shaun Alexander and is used to profile artwork and build business. There are three main sections - the main content managed area of the site, the gallery and the flash enabled area. It relies on clean interface design - which was intentionally minimalist, to ensure audience focus was on the imagery of the photographer.

South Somerset District Council |

This site was designed to fit in with the Oracle CMS which their backend was built upon. The site contained approximately 20,000 existing pages, and was redesigned to get across the information more intuitively to the end-user. (The current site has been redesigned by another organisation.)

Somerset Youth |

The Somerset Youth site provides a way of communicating with both somerset youth side and adults / carers, in different capacities.

The front page is a flash selection page - offering two choices. Once a choice has been made, the user is directed to the appropriate part of the site - youth or adult - and is able to switch to the other area if required. The site was built around the iconography Mobeous CMS, which also contains a forum and gallery.

The logo was also used on stationery and clothing.

Food Standards Agency |

This was a multimedia CD to accompany the Food Standard Agency's Annual Report. It was developed in HTML and Flash, and incorporated PDFs which linked off to other documents when required. I was responsible for the application interface design and development, using imagery and guidelines provided by the FSA.

Mobo Awards

I designed the whole site - both backend and frontend. This also included code, and flash elements that were put up on the site. Also arranged ringtone and download revenue. This was an assignment that publicised the MOBO awards and allowed users to vote for their favourite artists, songs and MOBO music. I was also involved with some of the magazine publishing and organisation, and other graphic design work. The Site has since been redesigned.

It in a Tin

I designed the whole site - both backend and frontend. This was a small brochure site for the IT company. Used PHP and CSS only design to publicise the company's IT solutions. (Has since been redesigned by another organisation.)

Dancestar

I was responsible for a number of flash elements on the Dancestar site - sister of the MOBO music awards. This involved mainly flash and HTML work. (The site has since been redesigned.)

Classic FM |

I did a number of designs for the Classic FM website, whilst working for GWR at KOKO.com.

Paintgreece |

I designed the whole site - both backend, frontend and logo. This site also has a dynamic gallery, and content management area - built in PHP and MySql.

Sunwiser |

This site had a very clean design to promote the Sunwiser hat and clothing brand. (The site has since been redesigned.)
