Volvo Snowbombing Roadtrip microsite
Microsite design and build including custom jQuery and interactive panel.
Techdept. website
An in-house web design and frontend build while I was Lead Designer at Techdept with a 'science/tech/precision laser-cut' feel. Built using .less CSS and custom jQuery functionality throughout.
A custom layout grid, respectful of common display ratios, was developed to display content via interchangeable panels. Stark, bold colours of a limited palette add to the minimal approach, with not a gradient or rounded corner in sight.
The Josef Müller-Brockmann-inspired graphic design shows web typography with attitude – you've never seen Arial so good!
Harry Hill / AOL
A Harry Hill short video microsite for AOL, via Creative Orchestra. Illustrated by Ziemowit Maj, my task was twofold: 1/ unlock weekly episodes 24 hours earlier for AOL-only subscribers; 2/ take the layered Photoshop artwork and bring it to life with quirky animation, triggered by auto timers and user interaction.
Volvo Snowbombing Facebook App
Design and frontend build of both Facebook tabs and a Flash 'character creator' where Facebook users can create and share their own character. Illustrations by Flameboy.
Interface design for IPTV channel "BOX OFFICE 365" from BiBC
I was lucky to have the opportunity to design the interface for soon-to-be-launched IPTV channel 'BOX OFFICE 365' from internet TV pioneers BiBC. The polished design takes into consideration various IPTV screens and their differing degrees of processor performance. Certain visual flourishes such as drop shadows can be dropped from less capable screens as the technology uses standard web languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript). Further visual design considerations centred around text size vs user/screen distance, careful use of brighter colours and avoidance of hairlines in the design.
BiBC wirefames and UX planning
The initial user experience research involved various wireframe approaches in order to determine the most suitable user journey for accessing the on-demand content.
Further 'BOX OFFICE 365' interface screens
The interface allows for easy alphanumeric input and visual feedback is given as the user progresses through any input fields.
