Following up from my recent post, the Life in 2050 website is now live. Competition entries are online and the winners have been announced. Commissioned work will be uploaded on the 19th April and the online shop will be launched with the exhibition on the 22nd April.
The image galleries on the site are side scrolling, and we opted to use the browser’s own scrollbars for this rather than mess around with javascript or flash solutions. A few bits of jQuery in the page template help things along and power the slideshow on the home page.
The shop is powered by Big Cartel, which is designed specifically for artwork sales. This was my first time using Big Cartel and it was a pleasure to use. Straightforward for the user and extremely easy to fit to our template. Highly recommended.

The exhibition is definitely worth checking out. The private view is on Thursday 22nd April, 6 – 8pm. Get in touch with Transmission if you’d like to attend, and I’ll see you there…
It’s always a pleasure to be working with Transmission and this time it’s the website for the forthcoming “Life in 2050″ art exhibition, curated by them as part of the Sci-Fi-London film festival, now in it’s ninth year.
Along with an impressive list of invited artists and illustrators, Transmission has held a competition inviting the public to submit an image of their vision of ‘life in the year 2050′ for a single place in the show. The winner will be decided by a panel of judges and submissions will appear on the site.
The site will launch early April at life-in-2050.com and you can catch the show from the 22nd April to 4th May 2010 at Proud Central Gallery in London. All artwork exhibited in the show will be available to view on the site, with prints available to buy online.
Rest assured, I’ll be back here with screen shots a plenty when the site goes live…
The new site for the international volunteering agency, 2Way Development, has just gone live with a nice new clean design by Tony Hung.
The home page makes use of a slightly modified version of upsidedowncity’s Twitter feed function combined with the jQuery Cycle plugin to create a nice little scrolling news feed. The cycle plugin is used throughout the site for all the image slideshows.
Go take a look.
