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…
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.


Another graphic design site – this time for Tony Hung, art director / graphic designer for a wide range of high profile clients including Kylie Minogue, Mo Wax, Sony and Parlophone.
The site, designed by Tony, is very minimal with it’s focus primarily on the images.
Features:
The site build makes heavy use of the jQuery javascript library for all the image transitions sliding info-boxesull CMS, giving Tony full control over both the image selection, image display order and menu options.
The main image area is resized to fit the browser window on each page refresh, based on 3 common window sizes.
