Immortality’s Flame-Waves

admin — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 10:40:35 +0000

Immortality’s Flame-Waves is an all-female theatre company based in London, performing uplifting and illumining stories by Sri Chinmoy.

The client wanted a warm and fun yet professional look, with a mixture of 1950s and modern styling. She wanted the site itself to look like a stage, and to reflect the company’s reputation for colourful productions with an element of surprise. She also wanted lots of light with a few subtle visual effects for liveliness.

The site is thus ostensibly sepia, but with a hint of Flash and rollover images on the navigation and the homepage which spring into full colour, or light up. It was fun to design, and I hope it’s fun to visit!

World Heart Beat

The World Heart Beat Music Academy envisions a world where music, as a universal form of communication, bridges cultural, political, economic and linguistic barriers.

The Academy aims to bring the myriad of the world’s cultures together through music, providing an environment where all people can experience harmony with their fellow citizens and be empowered to create a feeling of identity and oneness with humanity at large.

I was lucky to be able to design the site and colour scheme from scratch to reflect the joyful, fresh and diverse nature of the Academy. The site is a full content management system in WordPress, so the client has control over the content.

Temple-Song-Hearts is an all female vocal and instrumental ensemble, founded in 1988 and devoted exclusively to performing the music of Indian spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy.

The website features an original design in the shape of an Indian Temple, using henna illustrations. The structure is based on i-frames so the background stays static while the content can be scrolled. It also features a Flash-based media player so visitors can listen to the group’s latest releases while browsing the site.

This is a portfolio site for amateur photographer Unmukta Gerretsen of The Netherlands.

The design is clear and simple so the images can tell their own story. They are categorised by country, following the client’s subtitle for the site: Boundless Journey

The structure is based on Airtight Interactive Flash tools, so the client can manage the photos himself. There is also a Flash music player.

The Fragrance of the Heart

The Fragrance of the Heart is a café in Oslo, Norway.

I have tried to replicate the harmonious décor and peaceful atmosphere of the café. Shades of pale blue, soft lighting effects, and a pale wood pattern on woven background give a clean, spacious but friendly look.

The header on the homepage includes a Flash slideshow to bring some extra life to the site.

Anglia Productions

admin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:02:18 +0000

Anglia Productions is a major supplier of news reports, features and documentaries to a broad range of international media companies. Clients such as BBC, CNN and Sky Network over the years have come to rely on their reputation for quality and professionalism.

I was fortunate to be able to redesign their branding from scratch, plus build a new website and print collateral. I decided to add a Flash slideshow in the form of a filmreel as a feature on the site, to give an immediate association with company’s field of interest, and to show some examples of their work.
