I’ve recently redesigned by website and completely recoded it. It already needs a bit of an update so I’ll be doing that in the next couple of days, but another chunk of work I’ve been up to in the NMP period. I’m pretty pleased with it, its clean but with that edge to it with my work. I wanted to let the work breathe and not over crowd it. I learnt jquery in my own time for the slideshow and the fade thumbnails so that was a bit of a personal achievement after quite a bit of head scratching. Also got a php contact form in there too.

Html email template design variants here. This was kept quite simple, with not too much content. More of a light click through link to website page kind of thing rather than being very image content heavy. Although I like some of the more busy headers with artwork from the video, I think it distracts from the purpose a bit, and it looks cleaner with a block colour. The final version is the first one shown here at the top. I like the wavelength type with the lines leading off either side - wavelength fitting in with the tuned in branding, with connotations of communication.

So for the Business Cookbooks cover we’ve been working on, Josh’s mum ended up making a pie chart styled tart from scratch which we went and photographed in a studio last week. Here’s some pics of working on the cover, and the infamous tart which we never actually got to eat! Went for the overhead shot as its more typically pie chart and gets the message across better.

Photoshoot yesterday morning for the Business Cookbook’s cover. Josh’s mum made a tart styled like a pie chart which is the centre piece of the first cover.

Liked the slivers of colour here on this album cover. Inspired the tuned in imagery a little bit but far more sparse than here, and dashes of colour compared to big blocks like this.

More research and inspiration towards the Transmission glitch stuff. I like the minimal amount of type quite small on the posters with white space to let it breathe. Couple of bits of CD packaging and magazines I found that we’re good for inspiration. The cut up type stuff in the middle is something i’ve definitely taken influence from. The skull at the top, all though not appropriate for my project shows good image manipulation that could be used on other things.

Oblivion film end credits sequence. I like the geographical contours and the type treatment. By Prologue.
