Dooomed i tell you.

last Friday as I was in the process of backing up my Work in progress (WIP) hard drive, the bloody thing died on me. It holds all my work files for the last year. It wouldn't reboot and just contined to make a horrible 'wrr click' death rattle. The irony is that I had just deleted the backup file of WIP to make space for the uncompressed files on my main drive.
The drive is at the repair shop now, lets all keep our fingers crossed.

Update: The drive is dead according to the so called 'expert' I gave it to. Im'm now going to try and find a duplicate of the drive and use the parts to fix this one.

Press adverts

Sportlived have started advertising the site in various specialist sporting publications, this month ive designed a couple of hockey adverts and a couple of rugby adverts. I popped into whsmiths to check out the International Rugby News 1/2 page Sport Lived advert on p.6.

I also designed the Sportlived brochure which was printed last month. You can order your copy from the sportlived website.

Freelancing again...

Synergy design, a Bolton based agency, needed an easy to update portfolio on their website. The flash site loads in the data from an external xml file containing client text and references to the relevant images. Have a look at the dynamically created menu system which im rather chuffed with. click here for the site.

Slate Direct

The challenge was to create a product brochure as quickly as possible for the company Slate Direct. After launching their products with a huge leaflet campaign they needed a website pretty quick.
You can see the end result here

Freelancing

For the past couple of weeks Ive travelled over the pennines to rainy Manchester for a bit of in-house freelance work. It makes a nice change to see how other web studios work and as they go Photolink run a very tight ship.

In other news ive completed a couple of small flash projects a map here and an interesting 3D product viewer which I will have to post a link to later once the photography is completed.
