I MAKE AWESOME
beautiful & functional design for web & print, amongst other things
Bristol Film And Media.com
This is the first website I've created to really have the kind of level of responsive design that I'm really happy with. Based on Wordpress, it's a completely scratch-built theme with HTML5 and CSS3 standards.
And besides all that technical jargon, it's a mighty lovely, minimalist site - if I do say so myself!

Cads & Bounders Flyers
When I heard that the rather splendid Professor Elemental was coming to Bristol, and I got the opportunity to design the promotional material, I was thrilled to do it! Granted, I was hosting the event, but it was still a pleasure to do the design too.

Walk in Wardrobia.com
Creating sites driven by user-submitted content is always a challenge, and there is plenty more that the client and I want to do with this in future to encourgae audience participation. Until now, it shall simply have to make do with being straightforward and lovely looking!

'Cherries On A Cloud Burlesque' RSPCA Fundraiser Flyer
Working the existing branding we'd established with Cherries on a Cloud in with their new charity of choice was splendidly enjoyable, and I think this really captured the fresh, spring look we were going for.

Mortis2000.co.uk
How could I refuse the guy who first got me into the IT business, when he came to me wanting new websites? Well, I couldn't, basically.
This is what I made of the old business website, now pointing the way to the newer sites I created for his personal blog & business site. We had good fun working Jamie's personality into the clean, professional style he wanted. Photographing him on a roof for those photos was a giggle, too!

'Cherries On A Cloud Burlesque' BHF Fundraiser Flyer
When the response to the first draft of a design is "Blooming brilliant!" then you know you're on the right track. Just goes to show that when an idea hits you square in the face, it tends to be the right one.
I'm particularly pround of the clean, minimalist look I got by using vector graphics for this one.

Polytical.org
I really enjoyed making a nice clean experience for this community-oriented site. It was also a pleasure to work with the group, as there are so much symbolism associated with the movement that I could play with to make the site more relevant and colourful.

DCIS-Online.com
All I had to go on for this site was that it should be minimal, professional, and informative. I think I achieved that perfectly well, and fortunately the client did too!
I used Jquery to create an accordion style layout that keeps the focus on the section the user wishes to read, and the images resize to fit the browser width to give it more flexibility.

Wise Umos Blog
My old boss wanted a blog for his personal projects, and I was only too happy to oblige him.
This Wordpress theme uses CSS3 technology to add extra touches to a design that degrades elegantly in older browsers that don't support the newly developing standards.

'Silver Bullet Suite' CD Cover
Emotive music deserves emotive artwork, I always say. So when I heard Leah Keller's music I knew I had to create something special.
Blending artistic styles in the same way she blends her music, I believe I did her first single justice with this cover. It is now available on iTunes, amongst numerous other places.

'Pansexual Cabaret' Flyer
Cabaret is never without character, and bringing that out in a flyer is always a pleasant challenge. The striking image used here was an excellent inspiration for the unifying style.
Sucessfully fusing delicate art nouveau with a clean & modern feel was a feat well achieved, though I do say so myself.
