Hot off the press!!!, ummm, well, the digital press anyway. Baby & I is a brand spanking fresh new Baby site providing a range of baby products at great prices. Their products range from maternity and babycare products to care for mother and baby before baby’s arrival to a range of pushchairs (twins, tandems & triples), prams, strollers, and car seats all the way to schoolwear and clothing for all ages up to 8 years of age.
Baby & I provide the latest offers and reviews on top brand baby products from leading suppliers such as Quinny, Mothercare, Bebe Confort, Silver Cross, Maxi Cosi, O’baby, Graco and many more.
I was approached by Baby & I’s management team with a unique problem they had. They wanted to break the mould and distinguish themselves from all the other baby sites out there. So far they seemed to find all the designs they had been previously provided were dull and not quite uplifting or colourful.
Originally contracted with the development of the site and fully managed Content Management System used for the daily running of the site, update and maintenance of their 20,000 strong product database, I was then briefed on the challenging design aspects of the site. I was able to come upo with a bright, colourful and attractive design which ticked all the right boxes in the brief. read more…»

Desperados has the answer…
This post has been sitting in my drafts for the past couple of months and haven’t really managed to get time to write it. Well, there’s no time like the present.
A few months ago, I completed and launched a couple of exciting new viral widgets to complement the Desperados Beer Die Hards website launched earlier this year and to help drive website traffic.
The widgets were well received overall and gained a number of hits soon after the official launch date.
The first widget is a personal Desperados Beer desktop clock built on the Adobe air platform in Actionscript 3 to help you keep those important meetings with your favorite brand lager.
The second widget is a neat little online app which allows you to upload your favorite pictures and get them framed from a choice of personalised Desperados frames which can be used on all your social networking profiles such as Facebook, Twitter or wherever you like.
Go on, go get framed…

To also stand a chance on winning some tickets to Relentless Boardmasters festival in Newquay from the 5th – 9th of August hosted by Desperados Beer UK visit the Desperados Beer website.

Recently completed, the development of the eagerley anticipated second phase to the Desperados Beer website. Desperados Beer is a French brand beer with a Mexican bite and is part of Heineken International (Europe) group.
The Die-Hards section of the site was developed to build upon the main site which was officially launched in January 2009 to further promote the Desperados brand and to drive brand awareness in the UK. The Die-Hards is an interactive social networking platform allowing fans of the beer to register and share videos and pictures of their favourite or most interesting Desperados moments. read more…»

Okay, so in my spare time I like to dabble in a bit of poetry. Maya Angelou is quite an influence and though I am in no way as good as her, I thought maybe I’d post one of my own and see if I could get any feedback. Feedback is good, so I can hone my writing skills, so dont hold back y’all. This one is a sad one, but I like to capture strong emotions.
Such is life…
I’m going to let this paper soak up the ink from my pen
Just like the water in this shower soaks up my tears
A heart throbbing pain, a mindblowing fear
Days surrounded on all ends by dark night
A wavering flame, heat fighting a dank cold
Such is my life of late
Such is life read more…»

Yes, that’s right my die hard fans. Lost is back. Season 5 started on Sunday and its official. We are counting down to the biggest climax of all series ever! Only 34 episodes this season and since we started with a double, that means only 32 to go. Can I get a whoop whoop! I don’t know what you doing, but don’t even try to call me on a Sunday evening. I got a date with Jack and Sawyer. That’s right, Kate aint got nothing on me. (“,)

Just to give you the heads up if you use the sidebar on your wordpress blog. I recently upgraded my blog to the latest version – Wordpress 2.7 and have found a small bug which I’m not entirely sure wasn’t there before, but I only noticed it today after the upgrade.
I use the Recent Comment widget on the sidebar to display recent comments on my posts in the form of “{authorLink} On {postLink}”. I noticed that the author link (links to website of whoever posted a comment on one of my posts) didn’t seem to work in all browsers accept Google Chrome (strangely enough).

I’ve gotten into a bad habit of scanning people’s profiles on Facebook, mainly those I went to school with, in a bid to find out where they are now. I mean, isn’t life funny. A lot of people judge success by taking into consideration other people’s successes. Its always the case of, if I see someone who only studied up to high school level and is working in customer services, I feel great. Woohoo, happy me. I have a degree in Economics. A Bsc after my name, sucker! Then the dampener is to see someone with an Msc in Biosciences. read more…»

I’ve been in the movie business for a couple of years now, and I know now never to trust anyone’s opinion of a film. I missed out on what I consider one of the greatest projects to hit the big screen and had to settle to watch it on a measly 42inch screen. Not only that, but Blockbuster didn’t have the title in Blu-Ray, so the whole high def stuff also went out the window. I mean fate must have had it in for me, because I had also just missed a free showing on Virgin 1 and ended up paying £3 to rent it. Why all the hassle? All because I listened to someone who said that the film was a disappointment, not worth me going to the cinema for it. I almost missed out on a film that ranks high in my top 10 favourite films ever. read more…»

Hi all, Just to wish everyone a happy and prosperous 2009 and looking forward to what the new year brings.
As mentioned in my previous post, I’ll be starting the NEW YEAR on a busy note as usual working on a few colaborations with Chelley Jones Designs, Crazy-Creation and Raw-Dezign on a few art and media projects. Will also be starting the year off with a few web design , 3d animation, branding and graphic design projects for a few big names in the clothing, automotive and entertainment industries.
Well, out the window goes my New Years resolution to work less
