Working for Mook I animated a set of adverts for Footlocker from assets. I also integrated the adverts into the Eyeblaster platform.

There was also a set of video banners I rolled out for MTV.

Business Card

19/12/2008

“The Black Spot is a fictional literary device invented by Robert Louis Stevenson for his novel Treasure Island. In the book, a pirate is presented with a “black spot” to officially pronounce a verdict of guilt or judgment. It consists of a piece of paper or card, with a circular black spot in the middle and placed in the hand of the accused.”  Wikipedia

I have just received 300 new matte laminated business cards made up of black, gray and white, with a spot UV finish. The thought process for this began with a reverse black spot, which would be placed in the users hand. When giving to a receiver you press down on the spot and it makes a temporary sensory imprint in their hand.  I also made contact details scondary to the graphical elements.  This means that the user has to hunt for details and place the card within 5cm from the face.  I thought this concept was interesting in that I could perhaps makes a visual stamp on someones brain. The act of doing something different like this sparks a memory imprint.  The bloated cross on the front side represents the bloated human consciousness, hungry to expand.  Similarly the cross is intercepted with lines representing neurons. The metaphorical neurons can be lined up together to create a network of interconnected cards and crosses.

Asda Magazine

26/08/2008

ASDA Magazine has recently been voted the 4th in the top 100 magazines printed in the UK by ABC, wth a 2,805,052 readership. Publicis BluePrint brought me in as lead digital creative to add something extra to the online ASDA MAGAZINE for September, whilst keeping the editorial look. I have really been working hard to make each page to individually standout. I have also written the actionscript for each page.

Mexican Wave Facebook App

31/07/2008

I spent a month and half at Albion working as lead digital designer on The World’d Largest Mexican Wave. My role was interface design, After Effects creative lead and working on the technical side of how it would work (in collaboration with Tech Enlightenment).

The app has been a success and with over 4 thousand faces added to the app.

Special thanks goes to Andy for helping me export all the shirts from After Effects and also to Aaron for creative direction. Also shouts out to those who withstood the production tests, wearing shirts covered in black sticky tape!

21/05/2008

My role was to redesign the front page panels of eBay (the template of which had been designed by another designer) and refresh the look for spring. I gave it a spring green makeover, a nice slide mechanism to display products and did some reorganising.
