VIRGIN BOOKS

Virgin books wanted to update their old web site and make it more "young and funky" to reflect the new titles available in their online store. I took a highly visual approach to the design, keeping the homepage uncluttered and simple whilst maintaining the Virgin brand. Virgin loved my storyboards and my pitch won the contract for Hyperlaunch DMG.

IAN BROWN - THE GREATEST

I was asked to produce the official web site for Ian Brown's greatest hits album. The final concept uses key imagery from his career as a map to navigate through the site. I met Ian Brown when the site was finished and he was very enthusiastic about it. He described me a "Class websiter" - a high accolade indeed.

GARRY GO

As new best mate of Gary Barlow, Gary go supported Take That on their tour and got himself a record deal with Decca. Garry's musical creativity is due to the dominant strength of the right hemisphere of his brain, although the more analytical left side still finds the time to chatter on Twitter.

I pitched on Garry Go's new web site and my design concept was chosen by Garry's management - winning the contract for Hyperlaunch DMG.

BORDERS BOOK TOWER GAME

Borders books wanted to highlight a new range of promotions in their online store.

The reward is access to progressively higher value vouchers after completing each stage of the game. Books in the discounted range are also highlighted when playing the game.

HARRY POTTER

The 5th film in the Harry Potter series "The Order of The Phoenix" was due for UK theatrical release in July 2007. I was asked to design and build several flash widgets for Warner Bros, and a promotional web page and mailer for Tesco Entertainment.

The flash widgets were deployed on social media websites. They displayed a countdown to the release of the new film and provided clips, trailers, and desktop wallpaper downloads, as well as pushing traffic to a competition website.

The Tesco web page and mailer was used to promote a store discount on the first four films, as well as other Harry Potter merchandise available online. Tesco liked my work so much that they commissioned several similar projects, and stated the success of the Harry Potter work as the reason for the repeat business.

W14 MUSIC

Legendary music producer John Williams formed W14 as a sub label of Universal Music to showcase and nurture his best loved artists of the past 3 decades. I was briefed to reinvigorate the brand and visibility of the music label, and produce a web design with an "iconic, and classy" feel.

I designed a simple and clean looking site that allowed the record artwork to stand out. The flash header was designed to have a CMS driven music player that can be embedded in other websites.

JACK SAVORETTI

The artwork for Jack Savoretti's debut album "Between the Minds" was a faded sketch of the artist on an old brown envelope. I used this as the basis for the website design, designing the other elements around this theme.

LUKE TOMS

The self styled "philanthropist, dandy, songwriter and world class moustache grower" Luke Toms lives in a small flat in central London. Despite this Luke has always dreamed of living on a country estate, possibly in pre-war times where he can entertain guests such as The Great Gatsby.

So, for the benefit of his website I designed him his own stately home. Explore the grounds of Luke Toms imaginary house, and maybe play a game of croquet before tea.

MARVIN THE MARTIAN

Marvin the Martian or "Marv" to his friends, is a lyricist and rapper from Peckham, London. I designed his new website from a brief that specified a "distinctly urban feel".

When I built the flash based site I had originally included a flock of birds flying past the tower blocks in the distance, at random intervals. I was asked to remove them though as apparently "there aren't any birds in Peckham!" What.. not even pigeons?

THE MODERN

The Modern are a British Electropop band with an 80's sound. They were signed to Mercury records for the release of their first album "Modern Industry". I designed their official website using bright flat colour for an 80's feel, and included the industrial imagery featured in their first video. The site is built as one continuous animation that a user can interact with by dragging the "ray gun" icon on the navigation bar - moving backwards and forwards through the entire site.

ZOOMSTARZ

A modern day revival of Mini Pops, with an album of hit songs being sung by kids. My concept and design won the 4 way pitch on offer from Polydor Records. The main idea behind the website was the creation of a personal "Zoomie" character. Your Zoomie would sing along and dance to music with you in the "z-pod" player, and be featured in games and dowloads on the site. Unfortunaley not all of the design features could be implimented in the final site due to a reduction in budget.

PAUL WELLER

Paul Weller's record company wanted to update his website. My design concept was based around a timeline of his discography. Moving through the timeline would allow a visitor to read press clippings and stories of each year of his career, see album and single releases and associated photographs of Weller from that period, listen to clips of tracks they don't own, and maybe even buy a digital download from iTunes.

Weller fans would be able to log into the site and comment on each timeline entry, maybe to share how a piece of music affected their lives, relate a story from a particular gig, or just leave a message for The Modfather to read himself.
