Infocow

admin — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 14:39:13 +0000

Infocow connects young people with useful stuff to help take control of life - sites, stories, information and inspiration.

Worked on the front end code and UI design with Nicolas Alpi and Ed Davey developing the back end on this project for Futurelab. Was a great experience with lots of brilliant feedback and user testing done by Futurelab feeding into the Agile development methodology we use here at Jiva.

Survive or Thrive 2010

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 14:05:34 +0000

A simple Wordpress website to support the Survive or Thrive digital conference put on by JISC. The work included creating a custom Wordpress plug in to allow easy updating and display of the shifting agenda on a day to day basis.

Was pleased to be able to do a design based on Conway’s Game of Life. The pixel shapes in the logo are two examples of patterns that are either static (survive) or create exponential growth (thrive) using the standard rules of the game.

Tutorhub

The project I have been product managing and designing for nearly 9 months now has entered private beta. Tutorhub is a website built to connect tutors and students. Built on a number of cutting edge technologies detailed over at the Jiva website this is something new in the market place and allows secure one to one tutoring sessions to take place using a familiar instant messaging interface.

The private beta is now live and we are looking for students and tutors to start testing.

Spent 6 days on a soundstage at Shepperton Studios preparing tour visuals with a great team of talented people for the Peter Gabriel New Blood Tour and I was coding the sound reactive visuals using Processing and the hugely useful Toxiclibs) building on my earlier work.

WOMAD

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 1999 23:00:00 +0000

The replacement WOMAD site following our decision to drop the old Lasso site after the server theft. A new OO based forum code is the main new feature on the code front.

Nothing really new up front as yet in terms of features but - like Real World Records - the site has been designed to be extended easily over the coming months with plenty of scope for custom areas.

Standards based, with proper separation and where possible semantic markup this is the final Real World site to move to PHP from Lasso and the final missing site after the theft.

Real World Records

admin — Mon, 29 Nov 1999 23:00:00 +0000

I had the majority of the site built and working locally before the server theft but with no design or UI in place. The design came together very quickly and was designed from the ground up to be easily improved upon.

This is a temporary site and as such there are some rough edges but I think for only a few days work on the UI and design it holds up pretty well with a simple and clean design, free from Web 2.0 clichés, a full search, clean URLs and sound samples for every track in the Realworld catalogue so in many ways is a vast improvement on the original site.

Big Blue Ball

Womad Shop

admin — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:00:00 +0000

Brand new replacement shop for Real World which currently has a 7 figure turnover thanks to the exclusive stocking of WOMAD tickets.

Front and back end rebuilt from the ground up to enable products to be grouped in dynamic ways so digital downloads can be incorporated in the next phase with lots of work done to make the front end as simple as possible to create a higher conversion rate despite the relatively high amount of information required on-screen.

Real World Remixed

admin — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 07:00:00 +0000

Launched in 2006 and a minor refurb in 2007 Realworld Remixed is a creative and social site built round the concept of downloading packs of samples from Real World and Peter Gabriel tracks to allow anyone to create their own remix, then upload it to the site for others to hear, comment on and rate.

Members can create their own favourite lists, use the forums and send private messages to other members.

It’s all custom built from the back end to the front with very little library usage.

Peter Gabriel

admin — Fri, 20 Jan 2006 07:00:00 +0000

The official site for Peter Gabriel. Discography, Forums, Tour Diaries, Videos… Everything you’d expect of an official site of an artist of Peter’s stature.

Always more to refine and fix, but as usual the task of actual content creation often gets in the way.
