Portfolio Scroll Effect

Adobe Portfolio is not a new concept, and may only be a rehash of Bechance ProSites, but the landing page designed by Andrew Couldwell and built by his team is quite impressive. I especially liked the portfolio scroll within the device as the whole site scrolled. This was a nice subtle effect and I took a stab at trying to recreate it.

Keep Calm and Design

A friend recently bought a Game of Thrones based t-shirt online. I love Game of Thrones (Who doesn’t right?). On seeing the design, I decided I probably could do a bit better.

Duplicating things

One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections. The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment. His many legs, pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked. “What’s happened to me?” he thought. It wasn’t a dream. His room, a proper human room although a little too small, lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.

A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer. Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather.

Hello World Redesiged

Hello World. Finally had a go at redesigning my 3 year old site. Have also started writing blog posts for the first time and have decided to make a conscious and concerted effort to write and publish more.
