Modern Masters BBC1 : May 2010

The Modern Masters site highlights the life and works of Matisse, Picasso, Dali and Warhol. I art directed the site build and managed the design sign off 'gates' on various parts of the project. From initial mood boards to the final designs the visual cleanness of the site makes it work well.
 

The site included of downloadable art walks in various cities around the UK.

Eddie Gachegua the designer at Lion TV did a really great job for brilliant design skills, patience and flexibility. The site produced was clean and crips allowing the content of the "Masters" to shine through.

Hands on History

This was a nice little project hat worked really well. Quick turn around and a pure 'in house' job.

Celebdaq GVL 2

Some screen designs of a website that didn't make it despite the best efforts of everyone involved. 

Celebdaq was a fake Celebrity trading game where players make fake money gambling on the success or failure of real Celebs. Some really hardwork and effort went into the design phase of this project so I thought I would show it.

Move like Michael Jackson

Move Like Michael Jackson was a site where users could upload their favourite MJ dance move to the site and other users could rate them and Judges could awards. At several round of wireframing  Eddie at Lion TV worked up some great designs.

The Beauty of Maps

I worked with Chunk Media (http://www.chunkdigital.com/) based in Glasgow and in house editorial and technical teams to produce this site to complement a BBC Four series.

Chunk were a great agency to work with, Donnie (creative director) was always happy to discuss options and produce a variety of solutions. They were open to new ideas on look and feel and art direction. Chunk were particular strong on there integration of deep zoom and flash to produce some really slick immerse interfaces.

Chunk were also familiar with the prescribed design process (wireframing, persona creation, sacrificial concepts, style and colour treatments) . Adhering to the BBCs website page grid (Global visual Language 2). They were happy to comply with search engine optimisation standards (SEO Aka 'googleability') and the BBC accessibility standards on issues such as colour contrast, link conventions and tab ordering.

Vision multiplatform indie commission process Diagram 2008.

I found working out the project flow for new media projects was becoming  a challenge. Especially if is tight timeline  with multiple stake holders. Figuring out and visually displaying a  process graphicallycan really help highlight the problems and show others that improvements could be mad 

Hamlet BBC4 December 2009

The Royal Shakespeare Company were putting on a performance of Hamlet and BBC2 filmed it. David Tennant (x Doctor Who) playing the lead. The indie commissioned were Traffic Digital, they came up with some great ideas around user interaction, such as interactive timelines and adding archive data from previous productions at the RSC in... so we did.

Jose Deniz (producer) and myself wanted a dark brooding but modern look to the site to reflect the stage production. Jose also wanted a strapline with the impact of a dramatic Eastenders plot line.

 We user tested a few different staplines on secretaries and canteen staff and this one stuck

"My father’s died,
my mother has married my uncle
and I’m being watched" (could happen in Albert Sqaure)

In addition we wanted to use the richness of the scenery and clothing of the production. Traffic were and are great to work with always flexable and friendly.
