This was one of the most fun projects i’ve worked and the contacts and the OSC proved great clients through good communication and feedback. I hope to bring more awareness to the club and all the amazing events and benefits it holds. Please have a look at the site and give them your support.

Pictured above, the homepage of the site and below, the shop.

They wanted a website and logo creating with the aim of improving how customers could make contact with them and improve sales as a result.

The quality of work that Shackeltons do is astonishing to see. Their work runs from Staircases to Window fitting all a such a high standard. I would more than recommend anyone to this company and wish them the very best in the future.

I was asked to create a simple WordPress based website for a local Golf club which could feature updatable league tables and results. I followed a simply colour scheme to present the club and made sure each of the elements fitted the theme.

The project mostly involved manipulating a WordPress template towards a design I had drafted up based on the original brief.

The site is accessible through the following link Mosborough Bandits

Using Photoshop and Illustrator to create the effects within this piece, I have brought life to a relatively plain original image by applying colour, movement and light.

Each of the images uses a similar style whilst also conveying very different modes. Each of the feelings relate to different periods of my life both positive and negative.

Loneliness

I used many complex Photoshop techniques to complete these images. I believe that each concept has its own individual strength whilst also standing alone as a strong piece of work. I hope to work with companies on the future to produce a similar result and high standard of work.

Please feel free as always to check out each of the concepts. All four pieces are 300dpi and very highly detailed so please be patient with loading times as I would love hear from you through your comments or emails very soon.

It is heavily flash and graphics based in design and portrays both the feeling andatmosphere of our festival season. The stage is drawn from scratch using a combination of Flash and Photoshop.

I have animated various parts of the image to allow the end user to interact with the environment as they shop the site for festival products.
