Whilst working on a pitch for a top London design agency, I was involved with developing a new information architecture for the London 2012 Olympics website.

The work involved reviewing the existing website from an IA, usability, accessibility and user experience perspective and making recommendations of how to improve it.

I worked closely alongside the creative team to ensure the IA vision was delivered and the resulting designs conformed to usability and accessibility best practice.

The result of our combined efforts is a solid pitch document that I hope will win the said agency the contract.

Eurico Goncalves, Portuguese National Longboard Champion is in the process of setting up his own surf travel operation. I was asked to develop a brand identity for the Portugal-based surf company. In its early stages at the moment, the initial identity can be seen below.

The logo is based around a stylised wave and clean typeface and uses an eco-friendly colour pallet. The accompanying website will be coming soon.

Shire competitive analysis

February 15th, 2009

Whilst working at Bostock and Pollitt I was asked to undertake a competitive analysis for their client, Shire (a pharmaceuticals company).

Usually I would conduct such an analysis and present the results in visual fashion using Adobe Illustrator. In this instance, due to time constraints and the way in which the information was going to be presented (in a Powerpoint presentation) I developed an Excel spreadsheet that scored each website against a set of usability, accessibility and user experience criteria. A total was then calculated for the site as a whole and used to rank it against the competitors.

Deliverables

  • Competitor analysis matrix (Excel spreadsheet)
