Qluso is a digital press agency that has developed a new form of NewsWire where editors can bif on exclusive stories uploaded by investigative freelance journalists.
The brand and app called for a simple user interface but with a friendly and engaging vibe.
I am a Co-Founder & Lead Designer of the Belfast based web app development company. A brand and web site was required for NewsRupt as well as all other promotional materials such as business cards.
The brand was developed to illustrate our modern ideas in a traditional based media industry.
Award winning, Bangor based Estate Agents, Pinkerton Murray, wanted a redesign of their website to coincide with their move to new premises in June 2009.
They wanted a clean, professional and easy to use website, that would integrate smoothly with their existing property system.
xhtml, css, PHP & jQuery was used to build the site.
Local hairdresser, Nicola Kirk, wanted to re-launch her website, to coincide with the salon's move to a new location. A modern, stylish and simple website was designed, to visually be consistent with the look and feel of the interior design of the salon.
To maximise the online presence of the business a Facebook page was set up so that clients could share their photos and experience of the salon.
Family run business, Homra Logs, needed a strong brand to help promote their products. The brand was designed to be transferable to other forms of media such as, leaflets, flyers and packaging.
The website was designed to provide static information that the view could find quickly and easily.
The Two Minds Project ran a design competition for students of the University of Ulster, to submit branding and web design visual that could be used for the project's promotional material.
In a team with Adam Turtle and Robert Montgomery, our design were awarded 1st place, therefore giving us the opportunity to design and build the website.
Local Italian restaurant, Caper's Pizzas, wanted a website to act as an online promotional brochure for their business.
The site was kept simple and easy to use, so that customers could quickly find the contact details and menu information.
Award winning beauty salon, Beauty Culture, needed a redesign of their existing web presence. The business needed an online presence that visually matched the brand and interior style of the salon.
The website uses various techniques to display a large amount of static content, with minimal amount of scrolling needed when viewed.
Dreaming of Pixels is my personal blog space for all things web design & creative media.
