It’s been quite a while since the last update so here’s an update. I’ve finished my degree now (I got a first :D) so the projects mentioned before have all been finished. I’ll post up some links for the AMA site and my final major project in a little while.

Instead of joining the real world just yet; me and two friends succeeded in applying for a fellowship at Teesside University through Digital City, they’re basically giving us money and all the office space we need to set up our own web company. We’re starting a social network for backpackers and travellers (more info to follow, its still all a little hush hush at the moment).

I’ve just today been assigned the title of Lead Developer which has a certain ring to it although admittedly I did choose the title and I’m yet to acquire any web monkey slaves to do my evil bidding.

As well as the fellowship I also have a few other projects on the side.
Firstly I’m working on a revamp of UK Disco’s website aimed towards gaining them some more wedding and mobile disco work, I’m pretty pleased with how it’s going so far and the designs I’ve done have been very well received.
Another site I’m starting work on is a website for the excellent illustrator, photographer, painter (pretty much anything) Catie Atkinson. From design ideas she’s sent so far It looks like the site has real potential to be very good.
Finally I’m working on a music & design blog with designer Pablo Munez which will finally give me somewhere to vent music I like as well as any good design happening that we find.

That’ll do for now I think, toodles!

In the words of me with not much to do; “woop woop woop, my new website is nearly quite half way done!”. The site has got a brand spanking new look as well as the bloggy bit i’m writing on now. Still left to do is the portfolio page (showing off some of my work), an about me page (10 points for guessing who that page is about) and a resources bit where I’ll be posting some tools I’ve been working on as well as some useful links, free icon sets etc.

The new design is mainly inspired I love Typography (interesting articles about guess what), BearSkinRug (the personal website for illustator and designer Kevin Cornell) and A List Apart (a really good blog on everything from web standards to design). Erm, yeah… Thats three links that I already need to add to the non-existant resources page so that one is already going quite well.

Any comments on the new design would be groovy. In fact any nearly legible ramblings at all would be brilliant for the first post of my new site. PS: How is your dog?
