As is usually the way, personal sites tend to get a little left behind in priority lists.. However, I’ve finally got round to updating my This Is My Work site again with a selection of photography and other non-commercial projects. The project shown above is a work in progress typeface called Middlecase. It attempts to bring some of the character and personality often found in lower case characters into their upper case counterparts. The version shown above is complete and fully functional, so if you’d like to have a play with it you can test it out on my main website here.
You can click here to visit www.thisismywork.co.uk.
Also, if you’d like a copy of Middlecase leave a comment below including your email in the appropriate box (it won’t show up in the comment, but I’ll see it) and make sure to mention if you need it for Mac or PC.
Designed in keeping with her printed material (the name in Helvetica Neue 45 Light) I wanted to counter balance that rigidity with something a little softer. Using italicised Baskerville MT the identity aims to reflect the industry, who have a tradition of using established serif fonts, and to draw focus to the ampersand, which was used to highlight her initials (as & is a ligature of the latin et). This mark can also be carried through into places where a full logo isn’t practical (favicons, image watermarks etc) to maintain consistency.
I’ve just finished adding some Spring/Summer touches to the Hoxton Boutique website, no drastic changes this time, but it certainly feels a bit lighter and brighter now.

I’ve finally got round to adding a ‘Clients’ page to my site, so now older projects that may not necessarily be included in the navigation can still be found, and people can have a quick browse through the sort of people I’ve previously worked for. A quick addition, but hopefully of some use. Next up my new ‘Photography’ gallery…
As part of the launch of their SS11 campaign I was asked to produce a Flash brochure to go in L.K.Bennett’s new micro-site. Its a simple addition that uses XML to pull in the individual pages and reflects the usability of the printed version.

Following the popularity of last seasons ‘Life Is The Occasion’ AW10 campaign, featuring real women, L.K.Bennett’s SS11 campaign has even more in depth video interviews with each of its ‘brand ambassadors’. With this in mind it only seemed natural to find a suitable medium to showcase the full campaign and five individual video pieces, and today I was given the go ahead to launch the L.K.Bennett ‘Life Is The Occasion’ YouTube Channel! My first time working with YouTube Channels I was surprised by the flexibility they offer for customisation, which allowed me to adapt it to reflect the brand and look quite nice at the same time (if I do say so myself..).
Above is the main campaign video, and if you’d like to check the full channel out you can take a look here

I’ve just had sign off on the new HTML email template I’ve designed & built for Sefton Fashion! The new template is much lighter on the inbox with as few images used as possible, and now has three versions so they can send much more targeted campaigns.
I don’t want to spoil their surprise, so images will be coming after they send their first mail out with the new designs later this week. Alternatively you can go to www.seftonfashion.com and sign up for their newsletter to get it direct to your inbox!

Twittertry was set up both as a bit of fun and as part of my ongoing experiments with feeds. The idea was to pull random Twitter feeds and put them next to each other in a familiar format and see if an occasional relationship formed between the lines of text. As Twitter runs an instant commentary on day to day occurances from a world wide perspective it’s sometimes nice to see what someone might want to share from one side of the world, placed immediately next to what someone else might be thinking on the other.
Take a look here www.twittertry.co.uk
(If you refresh your browser it searches for a new feed for each line out of a set file of 100 or so)
