On-spot Marketing

DQD — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:42:11 +0000

On-Spot Marketing asked me to create a Wordpress template for a very image and information rich website. Pimped with a few well chosen plug-ins, Wordpress is just perfect for this type of website. A treat to work on.

Plug-ins used:
Akismet, the anti-spam, obviously
Cforms II, complete and easy forms
Get custom field values, can’t live without this one
Google Analytics and Wassup, for statistics
NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN Smooth Gallery, for the nice slideshows
Ozh Random Words, for the random tagline
Twitter Tools, for Twitter integration

Haagen-Dazs “Sets and the City”

DQD — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 11:18:56 +0000

Häagen-Dazs are celebrating the launch of a Summer special edition ice-cream with a Wimbledon Tennis Tournament tie-in in the heart of London City, complete with a giant screen to watch the matches, sexy model waiters, celebrity chef appearances, complimentary beauty treatments, and lots of yummy ice-cream.

With a wink to the glitz and glamour of the Sex and the City film coming out this summer, I finally had a chance to create some sexy illustrations for the temporary website that will be promoting this event. Even better, I was allowed to use great amounts of pink! Have to love this job!

Templates for Sapo Blogs

DQD — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:51:30 +0000

When I was invited to create templates for Sapo’s blog platform, I was really excited at the opportunity of finally creating something totally clear from client constraints. As it turned out, it’s a lot harder for me to work in such a free manner. Staring at the blank canvas, it felt a bit more like art than design, but once I got started, I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of making completely different styles for the same layout.

The first six templates are finally available for the platform users to chose for their blogs. You can see them here:

Are you serious?, a darker theme to start.
Shinny Happy People, for bubbly teenagers.
The Gazette, to spread the news.
Missangas, for all the crafty people that want to share their creations.
Writing on the wall, for travelers and cat lovers.
Sketchbook, a spin-off of my own site, as requested by Jonasnuts.

These are just preview pages, all filled up with lipsum, the real thrill will be finding real blogs using these templates. If you find some, please leave me a comment with a url, I’d love to check out who my real clients are, after all.

On another note, if you are a Sapo Blogs user, you can also leave suggestions for future templates, I’m looking forward to the second round.

Drinks 4 Schools

DQD — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:45:48 +0000

When the UK new drinks standards for schools came out, I was asked to create a website to promote the healthy brands Tropicana, Tropicana Go! and PJ Smoothies. The challenge was to incorporate the three brands’ very distinct looks and fragmented snippets of information without losing the website’s consistency. To achieve that, it was made to look like a school notice board, full of stickers, pins, post-it notes and handwritten scraps, tying in the three juice brands with the school theme.
