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)
I’ve finally had a bit of time to update my personal micro-site ‘This is my work’. It now shows selected pieces of work as scaled backgrounds chosen at random (more to be added as the week goes on, once I’ve dug the files out…). It’s nice and simple, with updates etc controlled by the one XML file so from now on I’ve got no excuse for neglecting it..

I’ve just uploaded a little experiment I’ve been working on this morning, it’s part of an ongoing personal project playing with the Google Search API (among other feeds) and ways of translating the results. You can have a play here, and let me know what you think!
I’ve just been asked to re-work the Islington based fashion boutique Sefton’s HTML email design and template. With the design I produced for them last year (pictured) being quite image led, I think it’s time to move to a ‘lighter’ version. Check back here in around a week or so to see the results!

I built this page on the L.K.Bennett website as a tool for press to promote their events. Combining video and a Javascript gallery it provides an engaging interactive experience that allows the press department to show their previous events off to possible future collaborators.

I’ve just finished working on the L.K.Bennett Ebay Outlet pages! It was a challenge to maintain brand identity while also having it made clear that it was separate from the main brand, but I think the end product achieved that quite well. With the reversed version of the logo, and black overlaid navigation it has a slightly less airy feel than the usual designs I produce for them, but still feels clean and in keeping with other elements of the brand. With limits on which photography I could use (they didn’t want to show products that weren’t being sold on Ebay as it could be misleading, and some ex campaign usage rights issues) we decided to instead use tight crops of the L.K.Bennett logo as it appears on the products. Some of the most pleasing results came from cutting in extra close to the logo embossed on the hardware of handbags or zips on boots, but all have a certain quality I think.

The L.K.Bennett Look Book has just gone live, another simple yet functional addition to the site! Designed to be clean and fit with the brand, it’s JavaScript built with infinity functionality, and I quite like it (even if I do say so myself)! A fair bit of tweaking was involved in both getting the images as we wanted and getting it to work perfectly across all browsers, but I think it paid off, see what you think-

I built the L.K.Bennett ‘Anna’ bag Flash teaser as both a bit of fun, and to promote the upcoming release of the ‘Anna’ collection of bags. With a dynamic countdown to the release time & date and a ‘spotlight’ style mask to give a sneak peek it brought a little intrigue to the launch!
You can see a non live version here, if you’re curious…

Having designed for Hoxton Boutique for quite a few years now it’s always nice when they get in touch, and this time it was a blog that they were looking for. They had a pretty fixed idea of what they wanted it to look like so this time it was less of a design project and more of a front end development job. I installed WordPress on their server and adjusted the CSS accordingly, ending with a characteristically quirky whilst functional blog.
