What I am doing next.

April 28th, 2010, General, 3 Comments

I am very pleased to announce that I have accepted an offer from McSweeney’s to become their first Digital Media Director. The full-time position will begin later this year and I will be moving to San Francisco (work permit pending).

The opportunity to work with the great people at McSweeney’s and play a part in determining the future of a publishing company that has inspired me for many years is very, very exciting.

Of course, this means that I am no longer considering any new freelance projects or consulting work. Please direct any enquires of this nature to the awesome guys at Spoiled Milk.

Creative Review Annual 2010 iPhone app

April 22nd, 2010, General, Good things, 1 Comment

My latest iPhone app, for Creative Review, is available to purchase from the App Store today. Creative Review, launched in 1980, is the definitive magazine for the commercial arts and design scene.

This is their first mobile app and is a digital version of The Annual, a yearly retrospective of the best work in visual communication from the fields of advertising, graphic design, digital media, packaging, music videos and related media. The print version is also released today.

The application concept, design and development was done by me.

Like this? Why not try the McSweeney’s app, which I also made.

The work is arranged by the date on which the project launched or first aired. Those deemed to be of outstanding merit are featured in the Best in Book section. As well as a text summary and full credits, each project includes a selection of high-resolution, zoomable, pannable images. Where appropriate, the project is viewable on YouTube or the web. With a favourites section and option to share via email, Twitter or Facebook, the app can be used to quickly build up a personal inspiration book.
