Just finished first preview for a great new project im working on. I am trying to aim for more of a portal type front, that will enable the customers to access all features of the site quickly and organized. The biggest challenge is to make it function that way, yet making it look nice and clean.
As this is my first try its going to be a small preview :)

The colours and fonts are chosen by the customer, for start I thought it was going to be hard job to make them work, but in this design I think it really works very well.

Got this joke via email today from Graydon:

Golfers can be a callous lot !!!
Verne was teeing off from the men's tee. On his downswing, he realized that his wife, Lucrecia, was teeing up on the woman's tee directly in front of him. Unable to stop his swing, he nailed it, and hit her directly in the temple, killing her instantly.

A few days later, Verne got a call from the coroner regarding her autopsy.

Coroner:" Verne, your wife seemed to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and hit her in the temple, is that correct?"

Verne: "Yes, sir, that's correct."

Coroner: "I also found a golf ball wedged up her @rse."

Verne: "Was it a Titleist 3?"

Coroner: "Yes, it was."

Verne: "That was my provisional."

Just finished creating a temporarily under construction page for Barton Mawer, and now going to work on the rest of the site. His old site needed desperately a refresh.
Barton Mawer is a very talented race driver, and has been driving in many different car classes, like Formula 3 here and in Europe, but also last season was test driver for the Australian team in the A1GP!

This season '08 Barton started driving in the Australian Porsche Carrera Cup (GT3), and has a very good package to do well as debutant in this new class.
Its already been very great working with Barton, very helpful and straight down the line plus good communication level, so no doubt this is going to a super project for me.

Vision wanted to show the audience that their product was designed by and in Australia, as that means quite a lot.

So I climbed into my digital drawing board.. and came up with a view version and after a healthy and always important "tug of war" about what to achieve with the customer "vision", in most cases Mr. Wayne Bosley responsible of design & development, Australia had to look more Australian, but original enough to stay away from already out there versions.
Potential was there in the designs, but none of them were winners, and so I left it for a couple of days.. et Voila! Meet final result..

Really came again to a good result with Wayne, and again it took some persistence of both.. nice job!
Whipped up a 3d version for the site also:

I finally finished the design I cooked up months ago to my likings for sublimesleep.com.
