Venice For Two - Design
This project is currently in it's infancy, but still worth putting up here for the time being.

Venice For Two is the website for a superb apartment in (you've guessed it), Venice. Their current website is in dire need of updating, and the client came to me requesting this very service.

At the moment, two designs have been submitted to the client, after a detailed briefing meeting. The client requested a very clean and user-focused design, that reflected both the style and feel of the apartment. These are the designs as they stand:

Venice for Two - Blue design

Venice for Two - White/Grey design

Personally I prefer the white design, as I feel it reflects the serene nature of the apartment well, but we'll see what the client decides! Watch this space!

Schadenfreude - Design & Build
This has been such a fun project to work on. Schadenfreude are a superb duo of minimal-tech producers, and have recently had a few tunes and a remix signed to some big-named labels in the tech scene. I highly recommend checking them out.

I was commissioned to create a website (in Flash) that reflected the dark and minimal nature of their music, so I began doing a few sketches, and after a few consultations, a final design was decided upon.
At the time, I was also getting to grips with making the move from AS2 to AS3, so this was a prime opportunity to throw myself into the deep end. After getting quite excited by AS3's new computeSpectrum feature, I coded a spectrum analyser for the client, which was deemed too busy (!), so I cut it down to a simple quasi-3D beat detector.
I also made the content dynamic through XML and simple text files that the client can update as and when they need.

Design:
Schadenfreude (Flash)

Due to be launched in the next few weeks after bugfixing and further XML integration.

P.S. Productions LTD - Design & Build
Brief:
Drive awareness of this new modelling and photographic agency, whilst providing a clean and professional feel.

Design:

P.S. Productions - Home

P.S. Productions - Models

Build:
I used XHTML in conjunction with jQuery in order to provide as much useability as possible. It can be viewed at http://www.ps-pro.co.uk/ - however the client is currently re-branding the site (from P.S. Productions to Allure XL), and some pages aren't available at the moment.

Welcome Aboard, Sailor
It's quite a scary thing, starting a blog. It's far too easy to sit at your computer for a good few hours, pondering over how to initiate yourself into the blogosphere, so I'll try avoid that and get down to the basics.

My name's Luke Moody, and I like tech. Web-based tech mostly...I'm a web-designer and developer by trade with almost two years in the industry (before this, I was working in the mobile arena, at a lovely company called Blyk, where I worked on designing, creating, testing, and producing mobile advertising campaigns for some quite big-name clients).

I've built this site from scratch, with more than a little help from NetTuts, and others (I like learning new things, so I dived in headfirst, and created this PHP/SQL combo blog-framework), so it might be a bit dodgy at first, but those initial teething problems will soon go away!


So, what's this site going to have on it, I hear you ask? Well...It's going to house my portfolio of old, new, and upcoming web design and development work, along with some of my own code experiments in the Development section, tasty tidbits of music and the odd music review...pretty much anything that I like/find interesting/stuck with, will go up here.

Going to work on a comments section in the next few weeks so whoever should be punishing themselves enough reading this will be able to add comments on my posts.

So, hello, traveller. Hope you enjoy your stay!

Luke.
