3.The Lucky Voice project was in two stages, the first as shown in fig. 1 is the player, we wanted to see if we could recreate the experience of karaoke at home, at karaoke bars the most sophisticated systems are usually dual screen... but my solution enables one person to sing while another browses thousands of tracks without disturbing the vocalist. The system allows for the user to search and add tracks to the current party and also employs a drag and drop facility when the user can simply drag a track out of the playlist to remove it
The second stage was all getting people to use this great system, working closely with Lucky Voice and their web developers who created a social environment for people to create parties, I was given the job to translate the Lucky Voice brand online to an ajax environment.
The site was invite only, but now open to everyone!...

3.An Affectionately Regarded Product
Created with
NB:Studio, this is a site for their client
VGL, a leading specialist in screen and digital print. The service, Surface
View searches out dramatic images that lend themselves to home or commercial interiors.
We created a flash environment based on a room set, with each section taking a different place in the area; users can browse the collections, view them in-situ, and then customise them using their own dimensions. They are then sent an email showing visually showing their specification and Surface View then liaising with them to make it a reality
SurfaceView is constantly developing, and mimeArtist has recently launched phase 2 with new products, and new improved customisation tools.
Surface
View has just been featured in Creative Review's The Annual (May 2008)

2.One Idea. Executed Beautifully
Created with
madeThought, I was entrusted to create the site for their client
Established & Sons
The process was very much a growing experience, as madeThought came up with requests for the design I was agile enough to adapt to their requests. Much
of the elements coming through starting the build really early on, and adding features and touches along the way.
These included really thinking core pieces of interaction, from how the site would react to the back button being pressed, up to the clever search functionality, and all accomplished without leaving
the overall theme of the site.

1. The printed collateral consisted of a very dark grey stock, to keep this consistent online for both Mac and PC users, we detected the browser, and chose the grey accordingly

Bodysong
Working with film director
Simon Pummell I created the online version of his film, Bodysong, a film of mans life made up from stock footage. The site allows you to fly through and find out the story behind every clip.
The project won a BAFTA award for interaction design, yes that is my chubby face in that photo!

The Mill
The Mill have been a client of mine for nearly 10 years, from their very first site, a design in-house, to this latest version which I continue to attend at mimeArtist.
The site works to fit around how The Mill works as a company, with different workflows coming together to create a site that is updated almost everyday.

The 'mill' meaning
of Christmas
I came up with the idea of The 'mill' meaning of christmas, and designed and built a number of applications that allowed Mill staff to request a unique link to be emailed to them to enter their details. In turn a simple mechanism allowed one user to check the messages before publishing, all with minimum effort from staff at a very busy time of the year for them.
The result - Each message was turned into a snowflake, with could be sent out to individuals or en mass... There was such a good response that I had to add a search facility... have a play!

Studio aka
I've been lucky enough to have worked with Studio aka on a number of projects, one of which - 'Compaq Bird', won a silver at the D&AD awards. I also built their original site back in 1999, and I'm back again.
Some interesting stuff about this project is the way in which it detects the users screen dimensions, and the number of images to be shown and loads the relevant size, and with a clever bit of programming you see the images at their best.

BarberOsgerby
This is version 2 of the site I've created for BarberOsgery. The site allows the user to simply view all their products, simple and elegantly, the user can browse the site, or they can type in search terms to narrow down the list of results, all without leaving the page.

Scirocco Studios
Scirocco Studios is a moving creative space. Touring four of the UK's most creative cities on a whistlestop schedule, a pop-up exhibition brings the spirit of the Volkswagen Scirocco to life in unexpected forms. I had under two weeks to create the site from the ground up, but am pleased with the results...

Lola
Lola is a post production house based in London, a simple interaction device of a pack of cards was given a little twist.
The site allows the visitor to go backwards and forwards through the work, and play videos within the site.
The biggest technical achievement was an intelligent loading system whereby the site would start to load images wherever you were in the stack, and then go back and find the next images once the ones in view were downloaded. This loading device was further developed on
SurfaceView www.lola-post.com

Hmm... perhaps I should take the hint

Planit
Formed in 1992, Planit is a project-based event organiser who specialise in the spectacular, providing sensational settings for large events in central London. Working with NB:Studio I designed a site that promoted the array of their offering while working in parallel with NB as they developed collateral for the company.

Finalcut
FinalCut have been a client of mine for over 5 years, I designed their last site and content management system. They have since started using Wiredrive (an industry standard in digital video delivery) and wanted to integrate this system as well as designing a new site.
A number of technical challenges resulted in an elegant solution where Flash was combined with Ajax, overlaying movies on top of a Flash website... Have a look and spot the join :)

VooDooDog
VooDooDog is a creative animation and direction studio. I was asked to create a site for VooDooDog. So I created a fluro style 3D world with a kennel at every corner... it's difficult to describe, so best you have a look yourself!

A List of sites I often visit each morning.
Not too many on here, as need to get some work done occasionally, and sometimes a walk or simply not looking at web sites is the best inspiration!
Perhaps this is why I need to work on my own! This list is live from iTunes in my studio... Apologies for its content...
