Vintage Invitations – website launched

Posted on August 8, 2012 by richimgd

Although slightly late to write this post from being very busy – here is my most recent website for Vintage Invitations. They are a London based studio who create hand made vintage themed wedding invitations and a growing range of related items. The website features Ecommerce / online shop functionality which was both designed and developed by myself. I enjoyed experimenting with different processes when it came to the design which were different to much of the more minimal and typographic projects I tend to work with.

If you’re getting married any time soon, give them a shout for some hand made invitations!

New MySpace 2.0 Profile

Posted on December 22, 2010 by richimgd

I have been working on some new MySpace 2.0 profiles so I thought I would write a quick post about the new format, a few thoughts on where the social networking website is at from my point of view and what my clients can expect with it in the not too distant future.

Updated IMGD Website Online

Posted on December 15, 2010 by richimgd

So here it is – this is the first blog post on my updated website. Having been online for well over a month it has been a fairly slow and quiet transformation – this is mainly because it has been under construction for a while so the less attention it got the better!

The portfolio is the main focus of the website and where I spent the most time developing. Work can be viewed by Media or by Client, depending what you are interested in. Selecting Branding, Print, Websites, 3D and VFX or Illustration will quickly display an overview of all the content in that section with just a single click. Since what I create for a client often covers multiple media’s, browsing by client will list all the relevant media for that client, again as an overview of work produced. If more information is wanted for a piece of work, another click on the image will display higher resolution images and also a brief description. The plan is to give the user the flexability to choose how and what they view, and not to over face them with too much content at any one time. The site is also easy for me to manage with a CMS since I only ever have to enter the work once.

Masters of Illusion update

Posted on March 10, 2009 by richimgd

moi-t1

I finally got round to getting one of my designs printed onto a t-shirt. This is strictly a one off for now, just to test the quality of the print. I am looking into getting more printed along with some other designs to, watch this space! The actual print process used is direct to garment (DTG) printing which might not necessarily be used if I was to get a bulk order done. The effect is nice and sharp and the colours are nice and bright. Check the picture belows.

Here are a few last remaining composition shots from a project I worked on at Sunderland University before the hard drive containing all the raw footage died. The project was due to be part of an experimental promotional video for Sustained Records which looked into different extremes of climate change. Seen in the scenes below are fellow design graduates Matt Easom and Chris Winch who didn’t hesitate to join help out on the shoot – Cheers guys!
