My friend Shaun Wallace has set up a mobile recording business and he asked me to make him a website. It needed few pages and to look unique and fun!
I made him a ‘marvellous machine’ made out of musical instruments based on traditional travelling fair organs to keep the mobile theme and used bunting to show his name. I made a light background of rainbow colours focusing on the machine with a burst of brightness in the centre. Finally I used a ‘.pgn’ to mirror the machine as if standing on a glass floor, in an Apple store style. With Animation Shop 3 I edited the animation partials of the website such as the organ and amp lights. Below is a screenshot of the website, details, background and early renditions and stages of my design. See the site here: www.shaunwallace.com

Web and Myspace design for the tribute band ‘The Rollin’ Clones’.
Being unable to use any copywrite logos or images of the The Rolling Stones I used images of the bands promotional and live photos to make posters of old tours to suggest Rock concerts and musical history.

Task:
To make a website for my band Laserlong and then to use consistent designs for other promotional websites like YouTube and MySpace. I made the book like image for the site to give the feeling of something that is crafted and has a history. Together with the hand written styled type on the menu and stamps with Franklin marks it has a more artistic look. The website type is Georgia. The images are contained into Polaroids as it means there is a uniform to each page and there can be different images in the Polaroids.

To clean up the main page of Twinkleboi.com. The site hosts a collection of pages that have no link to each other as Twinkleboi is a Podcaster on BTPodshow. The site also contains music, photos, films, blogs and other features so the main page just needed to make the site look presentable.
2008: A very simple Helvetica design listing the most important features at the top of the menu.
2007: Website with generic background image added by Twinkleboi.

To Design a logo and website for The Dot Cotton Nightclub. After a basic meeting with the clients we talked about the club and looking at the desk I thought it would be fun to make a website that looked like the night managers desk, with notes and pages of information.

A University project was to make a modern image for Bizet’s “Carmen”. The brief was to subvert the meaning of the play by inventing the theatre company who would perform the play, and then invent there interpretation of the play. Then make the poster for the production.
Below: A feature for serial advertising with the images progressing into the next frame, like the scenes of a play.

In building the website I was thinking that the client wanted people to grown inside themselves so I demonstrated this with the trees as a person. This formed the main basis of the work I presented as the main content was just text based.

A website for the Cambridge County Council to promote disability inclusion networks. The sites design came from a meeting when someone talked about “social circles” and I thought of a Lily pad. From that a garden grew in my mind as you can see in the designs and video below.

For the CBGay.com website I created a image that was relevant to the LGBT communities without being stereotypical. To aim was to have a website that people could look at without feeling dogma or feeling the website would draw attention to them. The people on the website where ‘blanked’ out to be members of the LGBT Community to show that they could be around you and you not notice until its hi-lighted. The site ran from 2003-2006. The last image is an advert for the site.
