For this project I updated the interaction design to accommodate the addition of the ball to the product types available in the Kitbuilder process and also had to rethink the way in which the system handled image upload for the team badge and sponsorship logo to make the experience more user friendly.

In addition to this I redesigned the back-end system providing a simple intuitive interface for local business units to edit the product catalogue along with the creation of new new stores across the globe.

As a member of the R/GA team I have been working on the NikeStore producing the ID for all content to appear on the site as part of the ongoing world cup campaign.

The initial phase went live at the beginning of March and will continue to roll out during and after the tournament.

Will working at AKQA, among the many ‘one days’ I was often tasked with, they asked me to design a couple of desktop images promoting the latest handset and growing suite of apps available on Ovi.

The resulting images were then used at Nokia World that weekend and placed on their press site for use by journalists.

Description

This was a nice simple visual design job, which was fun to do in amongst all the ID that I have been more focused on recently.

The client had an existing blog with regular readership and asked me if I could give it an overhaul with a fresh and friendly feel.

For this brief I flew out to Berlin and met the Nokia team working on the production of this new mobile app. Although the product development was complete they required a Flash demo of the interface to mock the interaction for a press event.

I returned to London and working closely with a Flash developer to build the demo, liaising with the guys in Berlin to provide visuals and feedback on progress throughout the week leading up to the show.

The end product can be seen in use here on Youtube.

I was hired by Flow Interactive to come in on visual design capacity working closely with two of their IAs. The brief was to create a completely new online experience for the Sony Europe and Asia business group. The site was to encompass their entire product catalogue and would serve to bring all their e-commerce activities under one umbrella.

The visual design I produced was based around the idea of a virtual shop in which the user could explore and interact with the products as though engaging with them on the shelf.

One Stop Blogs is a new blogging aggregation site from MacMillan Publishing for people working with in the language teaching profession.

Armed simply with existing branding of One Stop English I created a totally new site site, developing a unique look and feel. The site is built on an existing code structure which I was constrained to but then given the freedom to stretch it as far as I could to come up with something fresh and exciting.

The design I produced brought life to a previously dull uninspiring content model. Once I had the design in place I kicked of the css work which I then passed on to the in-house development team.

Nature.com supports a large amount of blogs within its network. Each one is on a different specialist subject, with it’s own identity, will fitting within the styling and structure of the nature.com site.

I was asked to design a generic template for this array of blogs which could be adapted simply using the css so that each blog could use it’s own signature colour and place a unique image in the header to identify it from the others.

In the day I had to work on this I produced a couple of variations. The result being that the final template is based on the second but pulling a couple of elements from the first.

University Presbyterian Church approached my partner looking to breathe life in to their website – a flash based, unintuitive and unengaging experience.

Our brief was to produce a user-friendly, visually engaging interface which presented the human side to their organisation.

My partner handled IA and development, with my consultation, while I handled the visual design.

The result is a clean, modern and friendly site which is easy to use for their diverse demographic, supporting the congregation and drawing in new members.

Following on from the success of the previous designs I produced for FPU, they commissioned me to mock up a stand alone news and events site for the university. The client put together a general brief relating to content types. They requested that it should be clear to the user that the site was independent but at the same time linked to their main site.

My approach was to use the same template but to change the colour palette, within their guidelines, and give the site a more serious, informative feel.

I also expanded the number pages designed to cover content level and an events calendar. This gave me the chance to document the consistency of the design and spend more time analysis the interaction process for users accessing the calendar.

With the visual design done, the in-house technical team are currently working on the build, with the site due to go live later in 2009.
