05/2011 Live Radar site design for Paul Barton

Live Radar is a new site by Paul Barton which allows users to enter in their location and view all the nearest music gigs happening around them ordered by date. The site uses feeds from myspace and Last FM and provides a really useful service to people who are looking for the best options to complete a good night out. The site also allows you to search for a particular band or venue for people who have something a little more specific in mind. Paul asked me to put together the look and feel of the site and has had very good response from the final design.

03/2011 Another new site design!

It's time for another new personal website, a lot has changed since the last re-design. I now work at Propaganda in Leeds and live in the lively city center. Web design, photography, drawing still all play a big part in my life though.

10/09 Fashion Designer Site Re-Design

It's time for Ross Barnes to update his online image and he's asked me to do it!

Ross' oringal site was designed by myself and I'm very glad he's asked me to do it again. As a starting point I'm looking into turning his site into a completely flash driven site with a full screen option. I'd also like to make his new site feel more like a media hub displaying a collection of fashion videos, press releases and his latest works in quite an ephemeral way. You can view Ross' site here: ross-barnes.co.uk.

10/09 New York Fight Club Blog

I've been asked to design a blog for a soon to be released online game created by interactive designer Stella Kim. My second international project this year.

The idea for Stella's game is pretty cool, you can design your own manga style fighting character and then you can pick any website online and a time and fight another member of the fight club. I like the idea of picking your place to fight as though the internet is an actual physical space. To view the game click here
