Games Eden
Games Eden is a games industry networking group that I sit on the steering committee for. I also manage and maintain the website. This site was originally designed by an agency as a static, two column, six page site. I expanded it and implemented a content and member management system.

more card designs
And speaking of alternative card designs, I’ve been enamored of modernist and East German graphic design recently, so did this set for Yellow Horse Productions.
Going all out with the Soviet thing:
And my personal favourite, after pharmaceutical packaging:
card designs
I’ve been concentrating on the day job recently, but have had a few minutes to work on other design projects, in particular business cards. I love to do cards for creative people and companies, because, although branding is important, you can go off on tangents and play around with lots of designs.

Gameware Development
The site I did for Gameware is getting on a bit now - I created it a couple of years ago. I still enjoy the look of it, despite the fact that laptop monitors have progressively got larger and the site is looking a little tiddly these days.
I also designed Gameware’s logo.

Just completed a book design project. For this one, I did the photography, cover design and interior layout.
You can buy it from Lulu now.

stormin’
As Creebies and Yamake draw to a close, I’ve taken on another part-time contract. This one is three days a week at a company called Short Fuze. It’s a local company - just the other side of town - and they develop a product called Moviestorm, a moviemaking software tool that grew out of the Machinima movement. It’s quite interesting and rather a lot of fun. I’m doing a bit of web design, development and various other “stuff” like writing, editing, and organising competitions for their userbase.
Go have a look!

BirdNote budgie
One of my photos of a captive budgie was published in a current issue of BirdNote to illustrate a feature from the US public radio station NPR. Do listen to the MP3 of the clip. The budgie image is there to accompany a clip from Sparky the budgerigar, a well-know English talking bird from the 50s. You’ll be amazed at its speaking ability. There’s also a little mention of the late Alex the African Grey - one of my favourite birds of all time.
