Creative Nation ~ Website design

I was approached by this newly formed creative production agency and asked to design them a simple and quirky site.

I created large monochrome and red image backgrounds which expand to fill large monitors. The content sits in layered boxes on top. The idea behind the backgrounds was to give the site some visual richness at a stage while this fledgling business is still collating the first pieces for its portfolio. Each page has a background image relating to the content, the site can be easily refreshed by creating new images.

Great North Museum ~ Medieval Case Study Interactive

This interactive was part of a set of digital installations provided by Cogapp to the Great North Museum : Hancock in Newcastle upon Tyne for their launch on 23rd May 2009. I was lead designer on the medieval project, coming up with the concept, handling all design work and overseeing the build by Joshua Routh, Cogapp’s in-house flash resource. Cogapp developed the installations in conjunction with The Great North Museum, Casson Mann and Nick Bell Design.

I collaged images creating a touch-screen table top environment where children can explore the three sections of the interactive, finding out about people and objects from Medieval times and about archaeology.

Tindersticks Gig Poster ~ Poster designed for Melting Vinyl in Brighton to promote a rare Tindersticks gig. The band all loved the poster, which was a thrill for me since i have been a huge fan for about fifteen years.

Journey On ~ An event organized by Brighton & Hove City Council to mark the re-launch of their online journey planner. Cogapp created a GPS/mapping tool which was used by cycle couriers and school children at the event to write ‘Journey On’ dynamically onto a Google map using mobile devices. The event ended at Brighton Station where there was a large screen mapping the progress of the participants.

I was on foot photographing the event and uploading photos to Flickr on the move, this content was then being projected on the screens at the station. The highlight for me was meeting Flickr hero Lomokev, who was photographing the event from his brompton bike.
