A banner I recently designed for an event organised by eCommerce Futures. As well as being used to promote the event online, the graphic was used on printed event materials, agenda, speakers etc.
Spendigo the holiday expense tracker app - interface
I've already posted about the icon I designed for Spendigo here so thought I'd follow up with a look at the app itself.
The final interface as seen in the app
An alternative (as yet unused) interface...
If you're interested in an app to keep track of your holiday spending, then you could do far worse than grab a copy from the App Store.
Wild Hills identity and website design
Another recent project: design the identity for Wild Hills - a consultancy firm providing a portfolio of global services delivered locally.
And once the identity was finalised, the next stage was the website.
And finally, if you're interested you can download a copy of the brand guidelines here.
Merry Christmas Everybody
CSfD logo
As well as designing a website for CSfD, I also had to come up with a new identity for them - I'm rather pleased with the result.
CSfD Header Collages
I had a great time designing the website for CSfD recently and one of the bits I enjoyed the most was this set of collages I created for the header images for each section.
BT – A Song Across Wires
Today I have mostly been listening to BT’s wonderful new album, A Song Across Wires.
If you already know BT then you probably know all about it and what to expect, if not then you really should take a listen and see what you’re missing out on.
The only problem from my point of view is that there’s 3 versions of the album but only 1 version of the cover artwork, so I made a couple of variations on a theme for my iTunes library and thought I’d post them here for anybody else that’s sad enough to care about that sort of thing…
Just click on either of them to grab the full size versions.
Spendigo the holiday expense tracker app
I’m pleased to announce that my friend Torsten’s first app, Spendigo has just been released in the App Store. Apart from a serious amount of beta testing, I’ve also supplied the icon and splash screen.
Spendigo keeps track of your holiday spending so that when you get back you can find out where all your money went – in fact the app was called Where Did It Go? during development:)
It’s simple to add an expense, assign a category and get on with your day. The app handles currency conversions, different views of your spends and running totals (don’t worry, you can switch the running total off if you’d rather not know how much you’re spending until you get home).
A lot of love and hard work has gone into this app and if you’re looking for a way to track your holiday expenses then you really should take a look: click here for App Store link
AmbiHue app
AmbiHue, our latest app, has just hit the App Store
You may have seen those high-end televisions that feature ambient backlighting where the TV casts a wash of light on the wall behind itself, changing colour according to what’s on the screen. AmbiHue is designed to help you recreate the same effect in your own home for considerably less!
All you need is a set of PhiIips Hue bulbs. Place one or more bulbs behind your TV, launch AmbiHue and point your device’s camera at the screen. Now watch your bulbs change colour in response to the on-screen action! Of course you don’t need to use AmbiHue with your TV, you can just use it as a fun way to control the colour of your PhiIips Hue bulbs to create dynamic mood lighting effects. Why not point the camera at your clothes to match your lighting to your wardrobe? Or point it out the window so your home lighting changes to match the sunset?

PhotoFrame app for Windows Phone
PhotoFrame has been the most successful of the apps we’ve released for iPhone, so it seemed the natural choice to see how it would fare on Windows Phone.
Since I know next to nothing about coding at all, the folks over at Digital Living Solutionshandled the build and publishing side of things.
The app only went live a few days ago so it’s a bit early to tell how things are going but once we’ve got a better idea, I’ll do a follow up post and compare the different experiences. In the meantime if you’d like to try it out, PhotoFrame for Windows Phone is available here.
