Howdy.

I’ve very recently made some minor cosmetic updates to the site, nothing too noticeable yet but I do hope to do a few more alterations soon. Just little bits of eye candy here and there (for example more icons) to basically make things clearer and create an overall nicer user experience for the site as it grows :).

Anyway, that’s all for now,
Thanks for checking out the site,
Tony.

I’ve uploaded a new Flickr set of the abandoned Royal Hospital, Wolverhampton.

This was a fascinating building that will be sadly missed I’m sure.. It’s current state (well, a few days ago) is something a little like this:

Psyclon Nine have released their long-awaited very first music video today

It’s a feast for the eyes and for the ears!

The full rez version can be seen at:

By the way, I had nothing at all to do with making this video, I’m just hosting it for the band and sharing it with all you lovely people!

Enjoy! 

I’ve added some new photos to my Flickr account of St Georges Mental Asylum, it’s an old abandoned building in Stafford that is simply amazing.

I seriously just can’t get enough of places like this, it’s been abandoned for about a decade so obviously it’s in a bit of bad state (mostly natural decay), but something about the whole place is still so beautiful, plus it’s a great feeling to be able see and capture things like this that most people will probably never get the chance to.

You can see the full set of photos on my flickr page.

I Worked on the official website for Terror EBM/Powernoise project Xentrifuge. The band wanted a “cold”, harsh, grey and blue design, And that’s what I delivered. The website was coded in valid XHTML and CSS and made use of Flash animation.

Description:
I Worked on the official website for industrial/metal band Psyclon Nine, The purpose of the website was to promote the band and sales by creating an interesting and well designed site with an online store that would catch peoples attention. The website was coded in valid XHTML and CSS and made use of Flash animation.

Okayy, so this has been in progress for quite a while now, in fact if you’ve been to the site in the last month or so you probably know exactly what I’m talking about, but anticipate no more! because low and behold it’s finally here! Carbon Nine iteration 3!

Version 1, I vaguely remember was my very first attempt at starting an online business with my limited but fairly reasonable skills, it didn’t go exactly to plan to say the least but I wasn’t deterred, version 2 was the most long lived version so far and it was quite simply just an online photoblog/gallery type thing for my work, it did what it was intended to do.

This version however takes things to the next level, I’m nearing the end of my BA Hons Design degree now and I think it’s about time for me to try and make a name for myself. So this is my “online portfolio”, every good designer has one nowadays and it’s basically my straight forward, simple, yet hopefully enjoyable and impressive way of telling you who I am and showing you what I do :).

Thankyou and enjoy!
