My PA Online

Martin Philpot — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:00:34 +0000

My PA Online is a new site that I have just completed designing, it features some lovely typography that symbolise the focus of the business. The site was a vast improvement to what was before, the treatment I gave to the design was some add some interest and personality and to project the right messages to her wide audience.

Worked on a very cool project last summer that unforntunately ran to ground. So thought it was time I gave my favoured solution an airing. The identiy and website design were for a new online fashion shopping site, The Designing Rooms.

Somerset Choir Concepts

Martin Philpot — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 23:52:43 +0000

Did some new creative work for the Somerset choir recently, the project died unfortunately due to hidden forces, but the creativity remains striking – so I thought I might as well bung it on my blog – the project may come alive again in the new year…

Keystone Communications

Martin Philpot — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 13:22:11 +0000

Keystone Communications website has just been launched this week, featuring some funky graphics and character designs – each page had the characters adopt different colours and props to add extra interest. The site was designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7, with whom I worked to create a unique site that has tonnes of personality.

The entire site has been designed using the popular CMS bloggings system, WordPress. I love this platform as I can now offer my clients a superb design that they can easily edit themselves. WordPress makes publishing new pages and editing content a breeze, and I like it because it is pretty flexible in terms of adopting new design templates… everyone’s a winner!

Bach Choir

Martin Philpot — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:46:02 +0000

I have been producing a lot of print design work for the Bach Choir over the last months. They are one of the most renowned independant choirs around and regularly hold shows at the Southbank Center’s Royal Festival Hall.

For them I have designed and produced ads, flyers, and programmer covers and hopefully some eMarketing may follow in the future. Catch them at their next concerts by visiting their website: http://www.thebachchoir.org.uk/

Smithsbar

Martin Philpot — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 13:08:29 +0000

Just completed a new WordPress website for a bar in Chelmsford, call the Smithsbar. A colourful venue catering for an alternative crowd, the design featured a rich mix of black and a vibrant red with a flock wallpaper background, designed in collaboration with Jason Harris from Studio 24-7. I have now handed the site over to him, with a easy to follow tutorial, for him to add the content himself.

Medical Recruitment websites

Martin Philpot — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 22:38:57 +0000

I have just completed another website to go alongside three others to form a family of sites for Honeybee Recruitment. Mercury Medical Locums follows the same the design style as the previous three sites create by myself, for Honeybee, with a simple colour scheme and font style change.

The sister companies, Just Dental Healthcare, Hydra Healthcare and Military Medical, which have their own colour schemes and logo but the same site structure and concept as Mercury Medical Locums.

Woodlands Hillbrow

New website for a local nursing home. A simple, easy to read design with an in-built blog. The latest new section is run by WordPress, which is fed via an RSS feed into the side bar on the main static pages – so they are constantly updated. Within the blog section we have activities lists, for both homes, which the staff can easily update each week.

The Fleet Carnival 2009

Martin Philpot — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:31:43 +0000

Been helping out a mate of mine with organising our local carnival which has led to a really fun concept. Using the theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ I had the idea of using ‘onomatopeas’ to describe the different varieties of foods and tastes – using icons or photos would be far too cheesy for my liking – using different fonts also helped liven up this idea which looks great and is not the sort of thing you’d expect from a local event.

I have now handed the design and concept over to the Fleet Carnival team to run with and from my concepts they have been able to produce the marketing campaign themselves…. including posters and the website.

Here’s the work:
