A very quick little build to publicise a new DVD about the life and career of renown tennis player Mansour Bahrami.
The design was drawn from pre-designed publicity and from the DVD cover design itself.

A redesign for a TV writers’ agent. The brief was to create something clean and easy to use but also to maintain an element of colour and visual interest.
It was also important to make sure that site visitors could find the writers’ CVs easily and print them out in easy to read formats.

Jack Stalwart is the hero of a series of children’s books written by Elizabeth Singer Hunt. Jack is a nine year old super spy who travels the world solving mysteries and thwarting criminals with an array of amazing gadgets.
The aim of the site was to allow the visitor into Jack’s world, to become a spy and investigator for themselves. It was also key to include many of the informative and educational elements of the books, particularly features on world geography and culture.

The site lets kids explore Jack’s own bedroom and through it, his world. The aim is to extend the site as the books develop, adding more features - especially games, always a popular feature with children.

A small website for a TV / technology company for them to showcase their work and keep news updated.
I designed the site based on their pre-existing identity. A straightforward static XHTML build.

I have worked on various sites for the iRB (through Lovelywork) over the years, building templates for their content management system, usually to designs by Will Richards.
The irb build always presents an interesting challenge, requiring an easily adaptable, modular site build, while maintaining the design and keeping the code simple and valid.

I built the the html templates for this site, following designs by Will Richards, to integrate with the back end content management system.
I also developed the various Flash elements across the site, again following Will’s designs.
For every programme that makes it to air, there are many that die on the way, whether strangled at birth, brutally murdered along the way or eventually euthanised to put the audience out of their misery. It is these programmes that are the Remainders of radio broadcasting.
The Remainders is a sort of pilot for an almost sketch show for, pretty much, radio. It was written by me, Finbar Hawkins, John Millington and Sally Hawkins and features all of the above plus Bill Nash and Jack Tarlton.

A blog about design for the garden for the lovely Carole & the estimable Ross. The blog is aimed at showcasing interesting and useful design for the house and garden.
I built templates to designs by Will, but this time going mano a mano with Moveable Type, which actually proved to be reasonably flexible and very useful for easily setting up a blog that Ross and Carole can maintain for themselves.

This was a pilot for an interactive soap for the BBC. The audience would have a mocked up ‘desktop’ and would receive video messages from the characters, each containing a segment of an episode’s plot. Occassional ‘instant messages’ would allow the audience to interact with the characters, altering plot outcomes by making decisions.
I was heavily involved in the development of the concept and the eventual show. I helped structure the interactive segments of the drama and how they fitted in with the main plotlines.
I also built the Flash application for the pilot, using Flash video, XML data and components to create the desktop effect (to a design by Will). The interactive sequences required the video to seek and jump to different cue points depending on the audience choices.

An HTML site build for lovelywork to designs by the ever brilliant Will Richards. A fairly straightforward static site build.
