Web
I've tried to include a combination of designs from corporate to artistic. Where possible I've included links to live sites but as I work on a huge array of projects some case studies are only graphics at this stage.
The Railway Hotel - Concepts
This is a concept design presented to The Railway Hotel, I was asked by Teampoint, a local web development agency to work on a visual for the website. The idea was to create a theme of Rock n' Roll for the site with the ability to include the social aspect of the site e.g. blogging and galleries.
Unfortunately the project didnt come on board but I hope that it may do in the future at some point.
Please take a moment to check out Teampoints website at www.teampoint.co.uk
