An example of branding that makes an impact through its unique use of colour and shape. The orange of the background immediately grabs your attention, while the mark itself really works as a combination of house and detonator.

Yes, they're just some buttons, but they have a certain something about them. I like the warped sense of perspective and the drastic way in which they jump out at you. It's definitely striking!

Goody Curve
A fascinating project that aimed to redefine the user interface of current hair dryer forms. The handle design and button placement are the biggest changes, it would be intriguing to see how much of a difference this makes.

A well structured and intuitive portfolio site for a web designer. I like the use of colour and motion that the arrow elements give the site. The gallery is simple but functional, with colour fading in as you scroll over an entry.
