Sarah Graham: Darling of the art world

Client: Sarah Graham for Designation (2009)

Details: Sarah Graham is one of the up-and-coming darlings of the art world. Her paintings are fun and engaging so the website had to follow suit. The homepage is clean and simple with lots of interaction (using the MooTools framework) with colourful thumbnails showing off her work. The site is content managed (CMS) so Sarah can keep her fans up-to-date with all her latest news.

I produced in conjunction with Suki Bains this site showcases Sarah’s work and allows her to manage her portfolio and news content with ease. If you’re an artist and would like a portfolio site please check out this offer.

Client: Kyocera for Designation (2009)

Details: As part of Kyocera’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) mission GreenLight is a hub for information and interaction on the topic of business and climate change. If you’ve got an opinion, an insight, or need inspiration then it’s the place to go.

I worked with the Kyocera Marketing team to conceptualise the site, oversee the brand creation and the design and development of a theme for the Drupal CMS that runs the website.

“John has been excellent from beginning to end of the projects he ran with us. Taking our rather loose briefs and turning them in to outstanding end products. He has created 2 themes for websites we have run on Drupal, he managed the project from beginning to end within budget and has been on hand for any queries, questions etc afterwards. All round excellent work and service.”

Using the great character illustrations produced by the Oddies team we produced a number of Flash and CMS driven websites covering both Oddieworld itself as well as the ReadWithMe week campaign that was rolled out over the following years. I was involved in the production of all the website as well as interactive CD’s that supported the ReadWithMe campaign.
