Design detail from a little Dreamweaver experiment

Site banner detail from a little web design project I'm working on at the moment, I have no idea what the outcome of this will be at this stage but its really just an excuse to explore a bit of Dreamweaver CS5. Liking the retro colours, but not liking the prospect of disappearing to the dark side and being consumed by html and css!

352 favicons, 1 poster, 0 hours sleep


Is it me or do I seem to be using a lot of black and white in my designs lately? (must be the inner goth trying to get out)! Anyway, here's a burst of colour for a change.

UK Space Agency logo concept for Wired Magazine




Ok so not actually comissioned by the UK Space Agency, but Wired Magazine ran a piece on Britain's answer to NASA (our ground control being based in Swindon)! Their analysis of the logo was less than enthusiastic, describing it as "tatty old white-van-man Britain" (not to mention the blatant Doctor Who rip off) and then opened up the challenge for readers to do better alternatives.

Although mine has a subtle, national pride come intergalactic exploration idea behind it, and a more rounded-futuristic looking typeface I might add, I have to say the best interpretation had to go to the person who designed a logo consisting of Admiral Ackbar posing patriotically in front of a Union Jack flag... Genius (just wish I could find a web link to it, see the 'rants' section of July's printed issue of Wired UK)

Glass frame mounted print of symbol designs


A couple of test shots while trying to find some good light without getting too much reflection off of the glass surface... quite difficult it turns out! Colours are nice though.
