fullscope.co.uk getting into shape

After promising myself to design a new site for months on end, fullscope is now looking halfway decent. See what you think, send me an email what you like/don't like. At time of blogging, only the framework is in place. Portfolio content needs preparation, and I'm not happy with my brand at the moment. Its a start.

Some new sites that I think are very impressive. Laserlines - very clean and a cool navigation system. For curve-lovers, visit preloaded, clean and smooth grid system but with the cool authority of a blue blue colour scheme. Smacks in the face of those claiming that 'chicks dig circles, dudes straight lines'... but thats another peice of work I've still to do.

Footballers speak out


Caught this in the Observer last weekend (19th March 2006), made me smile on what was otherwise a dull trip back from London. Not a happy chappy is Meesta Ronaldo, especially with one Pele.

On other another note, entertained my nephew with the fantastic monkeehub.com website this weekend. The Flash vid of Radiohead's Creep from the LowMorale series is always amazing, but he was more into the pesky JCB song.

On another random note, the website I work on for the Everquest game I play has been updated - visit the NC site here. The screenies are produced my me but will make no sense to most. Some are nice to look at anyhoo.

Happy days

Catching up today with Mike and Katie, mates met from travelling a coupla years ago, I found myself reading my old travel blog. Photos are offline so there are several empty links but for me at least its an ace trip down memory lane.

New site I've designed has been launched. www.nonsuchrotary.org is a website for a colleague involved in the Rotary in his area. Brief was quite open; blue background was mentioned but the rest was up to me. I'm pleased with the watermark effect in background and the general layout sits well and cleanly on the eye. The scrolling content is passable I think, but at least it operates well in both 800x600 res and 1024x768.

Flashy

Testing image links with having this Blog hosted away from Blogger.com. Thus the random news item on the right.

Flash animation gets better and better - www.thestreakinggame.com/

Excellent graphic design reference information available at www.bamagazine.com. Helps fill in some*cough* knowlege gaps.

Ronaldinho spoof vid - I was utterly taken in and had to have it explained by a mate at footie on Monday. Felt like a tw*t. The direct link to the vid is bust as its been taken down, but check out this site for whole host of random stuff movies and stuff. The Ronaldinho el Maestro vid is pure class.
