God knows why, but ie7 doesn’t like this simple piece of css. Here’s a workaround for your ie7 stylesheets..

body {text-align:center;}

#wrapper {text-align:left;}

Parsnip monster. Evie (my 3 year old daughter) scribbled a shape in our sketchbook. I finished off the drawing for her, not sure this is what she had in mind…

It’s great to see your design work on a huge scale.

I designed the shopfront for TyreFinders new depot in Redruth, Cornwall. There’s four signs, front; side; back; inner, which together give the brand a strong presence and high level of memorability. With a limited colour pallet and high contrast, they certainly catch the eye of drivers going by.

The whole depot look great, bags of room, loads of new equipment (no idea what any of it does!), all brought as one packaging by the signage.

If you need tyres (or exhausts, tracking, batteries…), this is the place to go!

nevver:

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” — Steve Jobs

New site launch: www.e-tricity.co.uk. The brief was to design and build a clean, fresh and easy to use site that conveyed the company’s ecologically friendly and business savvy characteristics. Though it is primarily a corporate site, it needed to be attractive to potential residential customers. Utilising the existing branding made this part easy.

It’s a fixed width, classic 960px build. There is currently no requirement for a responsive or adaptive layout due to the business to business nature. However, all websites need to be usable on the rapidly expanding mobile and device environment.

This is a good opportunity to show a section of the huge range of monitors / devices + orientations / operating systems / browsers that web designers need to test on.

Thankfully quality markup using web standards leads to fairly consistent rendering across most platforms. Though, they all behave slightly differently, and as usual ie7 needed some special attention, but only for the central hover feature on the homepage.
