Munki

Was given a very open brief, to propose a website design for this guys clothing brand, Munki.

The guy had apparently come to 26 and come woth some crazy plan of having a warehouse with 12 different clothes stores in it, one of them being Munki.

I was just given a logo, which wasn't great! with the slogan 'Be a little cheeky' and told nothing of any style or design that the guy wanted other than Munki is similar to high street shops as topshop / H'n'M etc.

So after a lot of research and general idea bashing I came out with this homepage...

I wanted to go for a clear and clean look, black and white imagery with a single bright easy colour to lay on top of the monochrome stuff! Thus having a little cheeky colour!

Few bits of detail, the main photo is a flash image changing to the one below, as is the 'Be a little cheeky' design on the right of the page is a flash image, changing in colour.

After designing the home page I started on the mens and womens page, keeping the same layout for each one, having 4 different link options for different areas of clothing, jeans to t shirts etc

From here I moved on to designing the blog, this is something that pretty much all other clothing brands have on their websites so I thought it would be wise for Munki to also have one!

I had a go at creating one of my proposed flash images for the home page,

Its obviously supposed to loop like, but i think it would sit well within the page, suiting the tone of voice and target market.

Dolce & Gabbana

Was quite excited when I was asked to do some work for D&G, but unfortunately the task was only to put together their newsletter, and they had very strict guidelines on what they wanted the newsletter to look like,

Thus the end result being a little bland, but I think its definitely something to include in my portfolio...

Everest Amendments

I was given a small job by one of the junior designers in the studio to make some amendments to some website pods for the client, Everest. Nothing too exciting, just 3 variations of the same thing!

Clairol

Was asked to perform a simple task of taking an asset of a designed web page and saving it in Hi-Def, or so I thought.

The icon (below) was the asset, and it was tiny and when enlarged, even slightly, distorted and pixelated badly, So I spoke to the account manager and explained the problem and offered to attempt to recreate the rosette icon.

Ended up with this...

Took me an hour or two, I think I could have spent a lot longer on it but to no avail really, as i wasn't sure if a vector image would be ok for the client. So sent it to the account manager, who seemed fine with it only to later find out that the client replied with saying it wasn't this that they wanted but instead they wanted the slogan from the page in hi-def, which I did in like 10 minutes...

Iams

Got a brief to design some certificates for Iams. They held a competition on Facebook to find Europe's cutest cats, having winners from 23 different countries.

It stated in the brief that it would have to be in a similar style to the designs on Facebook and the Iams website (see below)

So I recreated some of the assets and came out with these...

and here they are on the Iams facebook!

First proper work for a client, went ok I thought, experienced the restriction of a client, working to a preset model if you will.
