I’m fortunate enough to get my webspace provided by the good guys at BWPEB who have been friends of mine since college. Definitely check them out should you need some hosting or a dedicated server. Anyway, as an exercise I mocked up a new design for their site, complete with new logo.

Dirty's Akai Repair
This morning I was thinking back to a time in 2005 when a friend of mine – Dirty Hairy – tried to fix his broken Akai sampler. I think the floppy disk drive had broken and I had a spare, though this may have been a seperate incident – Dirty has had many more Akai mishaps since then. Opening up a sampler or any piece of electronic kit, consumer or otherwise is probably not a great idea. I can’t imagine they have a great number of user-servicable parts. Nevertheless, we had a go and I guess everything went ok as the machine lasted for many years after. I thought back to some photos taken at the time and had the idea to turn it into an advert for a ficticious advert. I was going for something vintage (70s/80s maybe?), and I hope that, for a morning’s work, it is successful!

TVBS Logo
A current project is the design of stationery and a website for broadcast consultancy Test Valley Broadcast Services. The bulk of the work is still in production and under wraps, but an “under construction” (how nineties) site has been published and can be viewed here.
I’ve taken the time today to update the pages of my portfolio, to give some insight as to why the artwork was produced in the first place. Before, it was merely a collection of images so hopefully now they accompanying text gives them some reason or justification!
A mixture of reasons has meant the development of my site has ground to a halt, and being a designer with an under construction page is slightly (highly) embarrassing. For the meantime then, this will serve as the front-end of the site. With this in mind, and if you’re visiting to download my CV, please visit the link on the right or right-click and save as on the button below.
