Having gone through a rebrand in April 2011, I participated in the launch of a new website. With a fantastically colourful branding a beautiful design concept, I was given the role to bring it to life with state of the art UI and interaction.

The website features 3D animation, web fonts, and custom template & content management system. And with a full control of templates and responsibility of its implementation, I was also able to gracefully degrade the interactivity for browsers that don’t support the latest CSS3 technology.

The redesign of the Ning community theme for Teach For All had 2 clear goals: reduce clutter, and increase engagement.

With experience in community management, I maximised the potential of the Ning community by creating a design that not only had a strong focus on driving conversation, but also uses custom plugins codes to introduce new UI and page elements to the site.

Marketing campaign for the classified ads company Vivastreet.co.uk—I was requested to design the contents, layouts, graphics, and any interactions necessary to bring forward the STDave character as their new viral campaign.

The design incorporated various CSS3 techniques (with graceful degradation of course) and the use of YouTube API to make the website more accessible than the standard video embedding.

I was asked to create a website for the logistics management company. During the process, it was agreed that the web design work is to be done by another agency, so I helped in creating their branding, logo, and define their web strategy in reaching out to a broader customer base.

Deliverables

Logo design, branding guideline including colour and typography guides, and examples of how these would fit in the Web environment.

The Chinese site is split into two different encodings to suit those users accustomed to Traditional and Simplified Chinese. The interaction-rich but simple experience allows visitors to fully grasp the offerings of the company. The site uses a one-page layout with swift transitions to provide a brochure-like feel with as little complication as possible. The use of progressive enhancement also means that users with more capable browsers will be able to experience the spacial parallax created using multiple layers of background.
