The new site is now live

admin — Sun, 13 Feb 2011 20:43:34 +0000

After quite some time, this site is now live. Its an update to the old Flash site, but serves the same purpose,which is to showcase my design work.

The site is now much easier to manage, so expect more frequent updates. Its also built on the WordPress platform instread of Flash, so has HTML goodness – so works on iPads and the like. Its by no means finished, there is some tweaking needed that will become apparent now it is live. I also want to update allot of the content that is here – there is more work to add, and also better images of the work that is up – which I will add once it has been photographed.

The old site is still up, and you can see it by clicking the link below.

Bryan Ferry : Olympia

admin — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:44:43 +0000

The most recent album from the legend Bryan Ferry. I have worked with Bryan and his team for a few years on various Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry albums, and was called into work on this one. The photoshoot had alrady taken place, so worked on the rest of the album. We eventually released 3 physical versions – a deluxe large format hardback book, a smaller casebound book, and a standard CD. The album was complimented with an iTunes LP, which I worked on with the guys over at Vert Pixels.
