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!!!

golpys

a new site for myself is on the cards folks..... i've been plugging away at it for the past few weeks and it's nearly finished.

i'm aiming for this weekend, so keeping checking it out !!

golpys photography

Nick Bentham Photography

I have recently been working on a site for Nick Bentham, Photographer. The site was cutting edge but unfortunately due to the current situations..... the project did not go ahead.

The site would be full screen resizeable and to navigate through images.... the user would drag the images left and right, would would reveal the next full screen image. This site was supposed to give the user a taster of his work, which would be updated every other day.

The test can be viewed at www.golpys.co.uk/nhrb/fullscreendrag/impact/gallery.swf

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.

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

golpys.co.uk

I have now started to update my website, getting rid of all the crap and inserting new projects I have completed recently. I will also be changing the categories to Services, Web Design, Brand/Advertising, Photography, Extra Work, Contact.

This enables viewers to clearly understand what it is I do, I will also be pushing the promotions of my invitation designs as it could be a little earner for myself on the side of working on the big projects. So if you have a friend or relatives birthday coming up, give me a shout. Examples of my invitation designs will be uploaded onto golpys.co.uk in the near future.

I am currently in talks with 60 Hope Street Restaurant in Liverpool with regards to re-designing their current website. The restaurant is fantastic and just needs a website to match.... let's hope all goes well.

Visual Arts Course

Myself and fellow student Tom Myers are to create a hybrid catalogue for the Visual Arts course at Salford University. A brief at Uni undertaken by graphic design third years was to create a catalogue for the Visual Arts end of year show. My pitch was successful aswell with Toms, so now we are creating a hybrid catalogue.

Tom's front cover imagery will be used in my catalogue format and layout along with the website designs I created. As I will work on the catalogue and web design, Tom will be producing an invitation to the show, and promotional posters.

Horizon-Media

I created his new website for Horizon-Media which needed to be different. The two page website tells the user everything they need to know. The streaming video adds to the viewers experience. www.horizon-media.org
