Auto Obsession

I’ve been working with the go2space guys (they place advertising on VWGolf.net.au and JDMST) for a while now on a new online project. Auto Obsession (AO). AO is an online shop and my job is to give the shop a front and the brand a face, energy and also to generate a community around it. I’ve skinned the site using the same tweaks I’ve done to this WordPress blog (which is the same as JDMST’s blog) and again I’m calling on the amazing talent of Matthew Mead to make my work come alive (I’m a huge Mead fan!).

It’s not live yet but I thought I’d share the development site in any case!

Melbourne Day 1

Christina and I just got back from Melbourne where we celebrated our 4th year together. We got back last night and I had a track day out at Wakefield today. I’m buggered! I’ve got a lot of pics to go through. I’ll start with day #1!


We ran into my sisters friend/client Michael at the airport, turns out he was on our flight! He also offered us a lift into the city as his partner Kerri was picking him up (together they run fashion label Amar from Sydney).


I was happy to see Melbourne now has a bike share system. Go Melbourne!


We pimped it and decided to stay at the Westin right in town.


Christina trying on some Melbourne Cup fascinators.


My mate Andrew who runs Semi-Permanent let me know that he had a show at the GPO so we checked it out.


Later that night I had a Bond style Vespa Martini and what came next was epic. I’m saving it for a new post!

Ozhonda

Ozhonda is Australia’s largest Honda Forum and they’ve just updated their VBulletin software and skin. Winode (founder and owner of Ozhonda) asked me if I’d like to re-design their banner and I was more than happy to oblige.

30inch


30inch baby.

Christina bought a new 27inch iMac and she’s given me her 30inch Apple monitor. Plug and play! I’ve now got my big monitor (which is so tiny in comparison to the Apple 30″) set to portrait on the right of the 30inch.

MC Cyclery


New MC Cyclery web site.

When I met Grant from MC Cyclery a couple of years ago I’d just missed out on the opportunity to re-design his web site for him. It turns out he’d already asked Damien and Zann to design his site, all good as both Damien and Zann are my Australian INfront business partners (small world!).

A couple of days ago I was asked to re-design the site, to make it clean and simple in order to not alienate everyday customers. It’s a new direction which Grant is taking the bike shop. Where we were once gunning for everything rad and gnarly we’re now focussing back on “suburban bike shop”.

Current site: http://www.mccyclery.com.au
My new site: http://www.mccyclery.com.au/blog/

Yes it’s built in WordPress, yes you can see it’s using the same theme that I’m using on this very blog. Clean, simple, flexible and most of all easily up-datable. It’s a work in progress but it’s pretty much ready to go live any day now.

Top One Automotive


New Top One Automotive web site holder.

I’m always happy to do design work for passion related stuff and I’ve offered my help to Dedy from Top One Automotive for years now. He always told me he had someone working on the site and being the nice guy he is he didn’t want to stuff relations up with the guy who was working on it.

Well the site went live not too long ago and I almost fell off my chair when I saw it (you can check it out here: http://toponeauto.com.au/oldsite/).

Yeah……….. so I pleaded with him to let me take the site down and put a one page site there instead. 1 page sites rock out in my opinion. No confusion, clear contact details, done. A simple business card online.

Designer Disco

So INfront’s Designer Disco kicked ass last night. So great to see some of the old crew (designer veterans yo!) and meet some new faces too. I snapped a few pics but I did spot photographer Keith Saunders (who took shots of me for the BIG exhibit) rattling off a few shots too so I’m hoping Keith will send me some better shots soon.
