Our Work

Connoisseur Wine Courses

Globe Apartments Property site
Connoisseur is a London based wine school that provide fun, friendly and informal tastings and courses for wine lovers of all abilities.

We were asked to redesign the site from the ground up, completely reworking the architecture and giving it a look and feel that would appeal to their existing customers but also attract new ones in time for the summer season.		 Globe Apartments are a rapidly expanding estate agents that deal in Sales, Lettings and Serviced Apartments in the London Area.

Our brief here was to completely redesign the Globe site, refreshing their online brand and introducing a templated solution that would comfortably present the ever growing number of properties on their books.

Channel 4 Blogs

Channel 4 Help
We spent several months working alongside various agencies creating a modular templated solution for Channel 4’s food and homes sites, allowing an entirely different look and feel to be quickly applied using css and carefully chosen imagery.

Once this was in place, we had to roll that same look and feel out across other key areas of the site, starting with Channel 4’s blogs, again with the emphasis on easy and effective rebranding with as little css work as possible. Visit the site		 The introduction of video, 4oD, user registration and enhanced functionality across the whole of channel4.com meant that the help section was now more important than ever.

We applied the design language that we developed previously across food, homes and the blogs to the new help section, creating something far more on brand and highly useable.

Vanity Lair

Rock School
Vanity Lair was a reality series on Channel 4 presented by Alexa Chung, who’s aim was to discover what being beautiful really is. The format involved ten pre-selected beautiful people living in a mansion called ‘Vanity Lair’.

We designed the programme support site for the series, working closely with the website’s editors to create an attractive design within the constraints of Channel 4’s showcard template.

We worked closely with 4Creative to create a site which reflected their print campaign and on air trails whilst still sitting comfortably amongst the other enterntainment sites on channel4.com

The Big Bang Theory

IdeasFactory’s Bollywood Star
The Big Bang Theory is an american sitcom that made it’s debut on Channel 4 in February 2008.

We created a clean and simple design to sit inside Channel 4’s programme suport site template, allowing editors to easily update with news and episode information.		 Channel 4’s IdeasFactory created several reality formats around the creative industries. Bollywood Star was based around a theatrical bollywood performance giving the winner a chance to go to India and take part in an authentic Bollywood movie.

Our design reflected the bright and energetic look and feel of traditional Bollywood films, posters and their colourful casts.

e4.com

Channel 4′s YouTube channel
e4.com is the online home for e4’s irreverent entertainment channel, launched late in 2007 to coincide with the channel’s brand refresh.

We worked closely with Channel 4’s marketing and Creative Services departments to create an online experience that held the same brand values as the channel but also had an emphasis on user generated content, empowering the viewers to contribute their own off the wall footage and images, sharing with the rest of the e4.com community.		 In 2008, Channel 4 launched their first YouTube channels, giving viewers an opportunity to catch up on programme highlights and contribute their own clips and possibly get featured on air.

We created this first design in keeping with the Catch Up section of the Channel 4 site, and we continued work on their YouTube presence shortly afterwards creating channels for 4food and Big Brother.

Film4′s Sex-O-Meter

Channel 4′s RISE
To coincide with launch of Film 4’s promotional site for the movie The Guru, we created a flash Sex-O-Meter, adding a viral element to an already successful online campaign.

We created the design, layouts and individual flash elements which were then put together by Channel 4’s tech team.		 RISE was Channel 4’s attempt to fill the empty slot that The Big Breakfast had left in the breakfast tv schedule since it finished. This was one of the earlier designs we did for Channel 4.

It’s purpose was purely to introduce the previously unknown presenters to the public and with this in mind, the design was kept clean, simple and uncluttered.
