more sites

i know..... my blog looks proper dull, i will post some images up asap and liven things up a bit.

10th Feb 2009

Just a quick update with what's going on at the minute....

Jobs include re-branding of a handful of photographers - some of which are in need of websites. All these photographers have amazing images and it's a pleasure to work alongside them. As well as online promotions, offline advertising will also be pushed with some of the photographers - as a drive to web.

I've also been commissioned to design all the print material at a Wedding, work includes bespoke invites, save the dates, and thankyou cards. A photo shoot is arranged for this coming saturday.

As well as all my design work, I am still plodding along with photography, as I aim to improve my skills.

www.golpys.co.uk

A new home for myself has been placed online, www.golpys.co.uk, has had a wonderful makeover.

I would appreciate any feedback on the site, whether you like it or don't, think any projects are stronger than others, any you think don't just quite cut the mustard to be on my site? Design is all about opinions, and I want to hear yours!!!

wes simpson

ok, so a re-brand is in order for wes simpson photography. initial ideas have been thrown around and we are looking to create a new brand identity for the company, and also create printed promotional material such as a look book run along a new website.

here is one of my initial concepts for web.

golpys photography

Nicholas Bentham - Photographer

I approached the very talented Nicholas Bentham regarding his current site and after a few polite emails, the project has started to re-design his online portfolio site. here is my first attempt.



the initial concept is intended to be full screen images with a clean typographical box situated in the bottom left corner of the window at all times. this site is supposed to stick in people's minds, and give them a taster of what nick does...... so what's different? the answer is..... the way people view the images, instead of just clicking next and previous, the user will drag the images right or left to scroll to the next image, and at full screen - this looks bloody amazing! i'm getting very excited.

i'll keep you all posted.

Production Company Website

I have been working on a website for a production company. Here is a video to sample the feel of the site, which will be going live within the next week or so.

Villa Bella Vista, Kalkan

NESTLED INTO THE HILLSIDE PROVIDING PROBABLY THE BEST PANORAMIC VIEWS OVER KALKAN HARBOUR AND THE BEAUTIFUL ISLAND STREWN BAY SITS THE VILLA BELLA VISTA.

FACING SOUTHWEST TO ENJOY THE GOLDEN SUNSETS, THE VILLA BOASTS A TRULT STUNNING LOCATION, THE PERFECT SETTING FOR A MAGICAL TURKISH HOLIDAY.

more can be read at www.villabellavistakalkan.com

the site has now gone live after I designed and created the new site in a very short period of time.

grenache restaurant

grenache is a new decadent dining restaurant located in walkden, just outside of manchester. the new site has been uploaded iand is now live for all to view. the idea of having something different from every other restaurant in the area and extra elements in the site that added extra value to the users experience: for instance, the menu is rollover, so when it is hiding - more of the imagery can be viewed. when the user rolls over the navigate section - the menu pops out and when the user rolls over each category - customers quotes appear, bit of friendly added value. the other extra element in the site is that the images can be hidden or viewed, the main intention is to utilize the wonderful image we produced. www.grenacherestaurant.co.uk

Sir Golpys

I received a phone call today from Lawrence Giles, Head of the Tech Media Course at Salford University asking if I would be interested in taking up a role at the University for the Advanced Tech Media course. The role would involve creative direction, tutoring, marking papers, assessing concepts and ideas, and generally helping students with any problems they have.

I am flattered by the offer as I think this role would suit me down to the ground, its also a bonus that it doesn't harm my freelance work as I will only be in University 1 day a week.

So yeah, let's see what happens.
