Nairica – Spring & Summer 2007 http://www.idiotbanter.com/2007/09/06/photoshop-tennis-matt-vs-nairica-spring-summer-2007/ http://www.idiotbanter.com/2007/09/06/photoshop-tennis-matt-vs-nairica-spring-summer-2007/#comments Thu, 06 Sep 2007 12:12:00 +0000 Matt http://www.idiotbanter.com/?p=171 This time around we decided to focus on brushes. I think we were excited about desktop wallpaper at the time. It took us forever because no one wants to waste a summer inside but we eventually finished and I think it looks great.

Greg needed a website to promote his solo record. We worked closely with his management team and the designer of his album artwork to come up with a properly branded site design. This site includes a style sheet switcher that resizes the text. The back end is ASP.NET with a news section driven by Community Server. www.gregkeelor.com

I did everything just like Greg’s site above but this time I added a style sheeet switcher so fans could choose from 4 different colour schemes. I took steps to make sure 4 themes wasn’t too much to manage with a site so frequently updated. www.jimcuddy.com

The album is a soundtrack for a movie that was never made so the site was originally supposed to look like a movie website. This mini site kept growing and is now much more than just a site for a movie trailer and some songs.

This client came, asked for lots and lots of mock ups and disappeared. I do a search once in a while and I’ve enever been able to find a website by this name. The mock-ups were pretty fun to do. The client was very hands-on but we always managed to come up with something we both liked.
