One of my good friends, Darren Cooper, was involved in a serious car accident and was saved only by the fact that he was airlifted by the Surrey Air Ambulance to King’s College Hospital, London with time to treat the injuries sustained.

Darren wanted to give something back to the Surrey Air Ambulance and so set about organising a walk to raise funds for the charity.

The brief was simple: Advertise the walk and get people to donate!

The Result

The result is a highly informative site that displays all the necessary information whilst being highly search engine friendly. Using the Surrey Air Ambulance logo colours we were able to reinforce the link between walk and charity.

In 2008 the event raised over £7500 pounds for the charity and this year’s walk hopes to raise even more!

The Brief

Henry Doulton is the stage name of actor Henry Everitt. Henry needed a site to showcase his acting and modelling ability.

The Result

A clear succinct display of Henry’s acting credentials with video showreel, photo gallery and profile.

Benjamin Hubert is one of the UKs most successful young product designers. Ben needed to update his original Flash website to an easily manageable HTML site but keep the slick animation and feel of the original.

The site needed to focus on the project work and images with minimal copy but still be easily indexed by search engines.

The Challenge

By far the most challenging aspect of the site was to keep the animation from the original Flash site. From a homepage draft design from Ben we worked closely to add that extra bit of polish and finesse to make the design come to life.

Ben needed to be able to easily update the site by himself using Dreamweaver.

The Result

The result is an engaging and slick user experience showcasing Ben’s project work to its best. The site makes extensive use of the jQuery javascript library for many elements including accordion style navigation, rolling images custom scrollbars and form validation.

Ice Cold - My First Blog

Hi all,
This is my second attempt at installing the infamous wordpress package. The install was actually very simple I hasten to say, but having done it once before it couldn’t be too tricky.

Anyway, so. This is my second blog post, but my first here at alloftheabove. My previous blog was at www.thedesignelevator.com/tim where i just stumbled through how to style that shit up.

This time its for real!

I hope anyway. Before work, other commitments, or the novelty just wears off. We’ll see.
