Welcome to my folio. I had planned on it being entirely temporary, with a view to getting a Flash site up sooner rather than later. But this single page has been so successful in terms of bringing in new business that I've decided to leave it! Anyway, you'll find here a cross section of the work I'm involved in. If this page whets your appetite, then feel free to get in touch. |

The project Matthew Macaulay is a fresh new singer-songwritiing worship leader from Chorleywood. He was in need of a website to link up with the launch of his first album, As for Me (link opens iTunesMS). It was a really fun, fast paced job; the original album artwork was designed by my friends at anoo, and the development was expertly executed by my other set of friends Hawkz up in Brummyham. It's a lovely little site built upon a Wordpress back-end, allowing Matthew to administer the site himself, as well as giving him full-on blogging functionality. |

The project I love Tearfund. I do, I really do. And the more I work with them, the more I wish there were more people out there like them! Our latest project was an update to LivingGifts.org.uk, their alternative gift catalogue. What's that I hear you say? 'Oh not another goat-fest!' But wait, this is an alt-cat with a difference. The short version of the story is that you as the giver buy a voucher which is sent through to the receiver. The receiver then logs on to the site and 'sends' that money to the fund of their choice. It's brilliant! So anyway, I worked with them to develop a number of Flash components which give users a fun ann interactive way of browsing, buying and redeaming. Go take a look! |

The project Anoo are a new set-up agency based in Rickmansworth, north-west LDN. Through a friend of a friend, of a friend, of a friend (see Matthew Macaulay above) Alex Normanton, the Creative Director and I have started to collaborate on a number of projects. The second of which was his own website. This little ditty is actually anoo's 'holding page' as we're currently in the process of developing the phase 2 website; a full Flash front-end - or FFF if you will - sat a-top a CMS and CRM system. Look at me with the achronims! Watch this space for updates! |

The project So, while you're stuck at Heathrow's architecturally wonderful, yet logistically maligned Terminal 5, you might consider many of the restaurant options available to you. Wagamama have just opened their largest restaurant on the air-side there, the installation of which includes a pair of 32" touch-screens. Brainstorm, a great little agency ( "more powerful than their size would indicate" where did I first here that? Anyway... ) based just outside Marlow, brought me in to polish and develop interactive menus to be displayed on these totems. The system included a 3D top-level navigation system, and an interactive globe (pictured above) which not only told you where Waga' has restaurants, but what the time is there too! So next time you're going nowhere fast at T5, pop along and play. |

The project ...and the Facebook jobs just keep coming. After the success of the SuperBadger icon illustrations I developed for Tearfund, I was invited to develop a series of illustrations for another app. This time it was Church of England's Lent promotion, called Love Life Live Lent. It's a kind of acts of random kindness (thanks Even!) diary that helps you make the world around you a better place in the run up to Easter. Go take a look! |

The project This has to be one of my favourite jobs to date. Momentum "is a movie marketing agency", they produce theatrical & TV trailers, plus online marketing content for Hollywood's largest film studios. So I was stoked when they approached me to pitch for their re-brand. I won the 3-way pitch and ended up not only giving the company a re-brand, but designing and re-developing their website too (with Steve Thornton, tar Stevie!). Momentum's hero content, is their trailers. So I came up with the media library device that runs throughout the website. It talks to the website's ASP .NET back-end, continuously updating its content in line with whatever the user is currently viewing. So much fun! And thanks to Momentum and Christian Perrins for being great people to work with... |

The project Okay, so this was a relatively small project, but I've had so much fun working on it, I just had to share. SuperBadger is a Facebook application developed by my friends at Tearfund which regularly presents you with issues of social and global injustice, and gives you tools to join the campaign against them. Worthy-much? I think so! Anyway, I was asked to develop a series of icons, pictured above, that would give the app a fun, but grownup feel. If you use Facebook, please do give the 'View project' link a click, and take a look. |

The project CaesarStone make high quality, quartz-based work surfaces; in fact they've been featured on home improvement TV shows the world over. The Brewery recently undertook a full re-brand for them, including a complete overhaul of their web-strategy. They asked me to come up with a look and feel, as well as new functionality that would highlight their industry/design leading edge. After much toing and froing, the site was developed out-of house, and what's left doesn't live up to my original vision, though the styling and use of photography remain... |

The project NewEdge are a US based market research company, pioneering disruptive strategies in their field. I love this site, largely because of the mechanic I developed that moves the user around the site. NewEdge are all about new strategies and frame-works, so I wanted to give them a site that not only give users the impression of that framework, of also of doing old things in new ways. Sliding canvas websites are two-a-penny at the moment, and I'd had this idea floating about for a while - that of adding a third-dimention to that slide. So rather than simply moving left/right/up/down, the whole canvas drops away, as though you're viewing the site through a camera mounted to a boom-arm which trapezes across the landscape... Anyway, it's the kind of thing that's better to see, rather than have explained! |

The project RWD is a company that shows you how to run your own business, only better. They are all about efficiency, brevity and leanness. They asked the Brewery to get involved in branding one of their new products, part of which was the production of an animated product demo, describing in simple terms what the product does in a way that your average layman would understand. The sequence I story-boarded, illustrated and subsequently animated, is used at an industry exhibitions and will soon appear on RWD's corporate website. |

The project As part of their corporate re-brand, Tearfund approached me to re-design their online presence. The site is built on an extensive, internally built CMS, so the designs needed to marry up a strong new identity with a pre-existing framework. Not an easy task, but one I thoroughly enjoyed and am immensely happy with now that it's up and running. |

The project I love chocolate. Really. I do. So when I found out that The Brewery had won the contract to redesign Divine Chocolate's website, I was ecstatic. Not only were they a great brand to work with, but they're a Fairtrade organisation too; a cause close to my heart. Anyway, It was my responsibility to design their new web presence, working along-side The Breweries in-house ASP .net developer. |

The project While I grew out of using Lynx a goodly number of years ago, I've always loved their advertising. Working so closely with the Project Neutron team, meant The Brewery had direct access to a wealth of material ranging from pre-release cuts of the TV ads, right through to hi-res POS photography. This Interactive CD-R functioned as the digital component of a cross-media production, designed to put all the resources at Unilever's disposal, in the hands of sales reps and marketing execs. |

The project Harvest Digital are a "full service digital marketing agency" based in Golden Square, central London. I've been involved in a number of jobs there, and always enjoyed working with them. I was really pleased then when they thought of me when it came to doing the conceptual design work that would underpin their new website. |

The project Tearfund's Glorious Food campaign focused around their efforts to rebalance the diets of farmer's in the Bolivian Andes who live off potatoes every day of their lives. This classic arcade shooter drove traffic from schools and Church youth-groups, through to the resources available on the core Tearfund website. |

The project in 2006, the Brewery were entrusted the task of re-vamping The Children's Society's corporate identity. Part and parcel of that job, was redesigning the website. Working with TCS's incumbent intranet/CMS provider, we developed an impactful and emotive site, allowing the charity to significantly increase their level of donations year-on-year. |

The project Tearfund are passionate about the worlds poor, and it's those people who are currently feeling the sharp-end of climate change. It's no surprise then that a big push for them at the moment is the issue of climate chaos and how we in the developed world can begin to make small changes in our lives which could have big implications for people elsewhere. This suit of five Flash games was conceived as a viral component of their campaign. It was short-listed in the Best Use of New Media category of the 2006 Charitytimes Awards. |

The project HBG Construction had always prided themselves on their ability to innovate in every aspect of their business, from pitch and proposal, right through to architecture and construction. They were the first company in their industry to introduce interactive PDFs to the pitching process, when Acrobat first appeared on the scene. When they were pitching for a multi-million pound contract to build a number of PFI schools in Bristol, they decided to up the anti with a fully fledged, navigable, dynamically constructed Flash presentation. Needless to say they stood head-and-sholders above the competition's bog-standard PowerPoint presentations. |

The project The Imperial War Museum in Lambeth is without doubt my favourite London museum. Not only do they have a wide range of thought-provocing and evocative exhibitions, but they have made much of their extensive archive available online. This CD-R was created as a hand out at exhibitions, giving users a taste of the breadth and depth of their archive. The whole presentation changed colour continuously depending on where you were with in it, giving you the impression of an ever-changing tapestry of information and imagery. |

The project Possibly the highest profile client I worked on at the Open Agency, was BA London Eye. I was involved at many levels with the client, but the most fun I had with them was on this job; the Virtual River Cruise. Not only will the London Eye lift you 120 meters above the Thames, but it'll take you 5 miles along it too. This interactive was intended to give visitors to the site, a taste of the kind of things you'd see from the boat. |

The project BT have a technology campus just outside Ipswich which was, so I'm told, the birthplace of fibre-optics among other things. One of the current buildings there plays home to series of scenario-based environments, demonstrating BT's latest and greatest technologies. Numbering among them is "The Agile Bank-brach of the Future" - a fully functioning bank-branch, packed with more user-acessible hardware than your average branch of Curry's. The team championing the program needed a presentation system that could function as a presentation aid, as well as a leave-behind for Banking exec's who were unable to visit Ipswich and see the technology first hand. © 2004 - 2007 Paul Evans.
