Discover Guild Wars

Tuesday 12th December 2006

Discover Guild Wars Discover Guild Wars is flash based promotional site for the Guild Wars trilogy of games. I set about designing Discover Guild Wars at the end of 2006; the project later expanded in to a two-man team project which was great considering the amount of work to be done. I’m quite pleased with the results, the original designs didn’t have to change too much and with Flash supporting Blend modes and layer styles, it makes life alot easier. Anyway, Discover Guild Wars is available in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish. Nice.
I learnt a few things too. Mainly, that this mctween class is awesome (nice one Marek).
And never, ever use shared Library items in Flash. They’re an utter pain in the arse.

On my 25th birthday, I had a pirate party and dressed up as a pirate. The costume was great - from The Costume Studio in London. Highly recommended.

Exteel

Tuesday 13th June 2006

The European Exteel website, is one of the smaller projects I’ve worked on at NCsoft. It’s a teaser site for a mech game, Exteel. But oddly, this site is one of the most pleasing pieces of work I’ve ever done. I think perhaps due to it’s scale, I’ve managed to complete everthing to the standard I’m happy with and at the same time not had to compromise my design too much through the amends process.

Maybe it’s the use of Pin Light blends and those awesome hexagon patterns that makes me like it. Or the BIG ROBOTS.

MeckOnline

Thursday 11th May 2006

Meck OnlineI worked on MeckOnline.com as a freelance project, working directly with Meck himself. DJ Meck is a number one selling pop DJ in the UK charts. He needed a web presence with specific tools, like a podcast, photo galleries, biography and a place to give the latest news on his goings-on. Along with designing and building the website, I completed a content management tool, allowing all the content on the site to be updated by him and his team. Including an MP3 upload tool for use with the podcast.

Auto Assault

Sunday 11th December 2005

Auto AssaultThe European Auto Assault Website was the first full community site I designed since starting at NCsoft in late March 2005. It was also the first full site I had ever produced in multiple languages, in this case: English, French and German. The temperature guage at the top of the site was an idea that came about from the wanton desire to burn the entire thing. I got to implement over an over the top, ‘burning design’ with lots of heavy flash content, ahem, at the discretion of the user.
And if you’re half-clever, you might try turning the site up to 11…

Wet Breasts Challenge

Sunday 10th July 2005

Wet Breasts ChallengeWet Breasts Challenge was essentially the same as the ‘Assess my Breasts’ website, with the only difference being - submitted entries had to be erm, wet. It was a special summer edition site, to coincide with a Nuts Magazine summer special and being the magazine that Nuts is - Wet T Shirt competitions, in summer come as standard. Once again, it seemed everyone wanted to upload pictures of their chests to the site which proved just as popular as before. Both websites stayed online for around a year (when the server crashed), receiving good web traffic throughout.

Assess my Breasts

Sunday 10th April 2005

Assess my BreastsAssess my Breasts was the first of 2 websites for Nuts Magazine. It was essentially a version of one of the many, many ‘rate this’ websites, such as ‘Hot or Not’. You’d visit the site, see a randomly selected pair of breasts and then rate them between 1 to 10. Users could upload photos of their breasts to the site, and once approved - they’d appear.

The site was a massive success, appearing as a feature in a special ‘Breasts’ edition of Nuts and was promoted in the magazine a number of times. Literally thousands of people uploaded their breasts to the site. And I say ‘people’ because they weren’t all girls…
