Thought I'd post a few bits, since I've started working on some graphics and web designs recently..

Local Honda motor bike retailer:
Chambers Motor Cycles 1
I've only worked on the layout and interface for these and we're getting an asp developer to do the database. Only about 10K in total for each page tho!

Chambers Motorcycles 2
Slightly different colours than version 1. I think I like this one better.

Chambers Motorcycles 3
Changes made per client's request.

Signum
Layout and interface redesign of the existing site- It's a phone analysis company, so I naturally went for a phone theme (but had to keep to the existing colour scheme). Blue display based on Giam's web spider portal thingy I helpped with And here's beginings of it all in Flash. Unfortuanetly the client hated what I did, so it looks like I'll never get to complete the finished Flash version

A.G.E.N.T. R.E.P.O.S.
Fasion design agent and fasion retail. Went for a 007 type theme, with a little inpiration from Metalman's stuff

Comments appreciated etc. Cheers

ah excellent! the design is so pleasing to the eye :3

I guess the Client didn't want the multicoloured rollovers XB

Still very good, sleek and simple site designs :3


But I have a question! how do you find your clients or what do you do to make them find you? I'm still lacking the knowledge of the freelance industry and the only way to know is to ask a pro (woa it rhymes XB)

oooh the Fashion one is so classy X3

hey in a year or two of hard training you could do this professional (just kidding )

yup they look all very cool have to agree the second motorcycle page is the best version.

and I like the james bond thing but could you do it with a guy instead (just wanna make sure that it is the design I like ).

For the signum site you tell me that a site that was inspired or atleast has a little bit to do with (just a little tiny bit please!) something I made got rejected...

...uhm can someone hand me a shotgun please I have to visit a company .

Haha. Yeah, the guy over at Signum's an idiot. *Hands Giam a shotgun and petrol Bomb*, let go teach him some manners!

Thanks for the comments guys- trust me, I do take 'em all on board.

Shirai, The company I work for gets me the clients, so I don't have to worry about it ^_^ I've only been working at my new job for little over a month, but I'm enjoying the work and don't have to stress about finding my own clients.
However, before I got this job, I'd get regular commissions just from people that visit my web site! I'm pretty high up in the Yahoo search engine for "anime artwork" and "anime fanart" so I suppose when a company needs some anime visuals for one of their projects, I was never too hard to find
SO; my advice is to build the best web site you've ever seen, put up some of the best artwork you've ever done and advertise!

Build it and they will come

Hey cool explosiv .

10min later in Gravesend, Kent

*ding dong*
Business guy "uhm yeah hello how can I help you"

(me)"oh I'm from the present deliver service. I have a birthday present for your boss"

Business guy "oh really I thought he had his birthday last month"

(me) "uh yeah we had alot of work to do and we still have more, so can you please bring it to him would be realy nice"

Business guy "sure no problem"

(me) "ok take it carefully.. oh wait, I have to lit the candle... ok thats it now hurry, we don't want to let your boss wait any longer, don't we."

Business guy walks inside the building me goes back to the car and take the shotgun out the trunk

KABOOOM

me starts shooting at burning people who run out of the building while yelling "this is for BOMU HAR HAR"

Ok enough, and yes the permanent exposure to violent games and movies has changed me, but the difference is my parents teached me how I have to deal with it.

Thanks sinmaster. I'll try to do more Flash if I get the chance - it's just learning it and comming up with an imaginative idea to use with Flash, which is the hard part. Are all your flash skills self taught? Is Ellipse your 1st Flash project? (Is great btw )
My latest project has been:
Linux in Kent - Still needs some work, but I'm getting there.

talk aobut eye candy--very nice design! I really like that background.

It can be very hard to come up with an imaginative idea, as you said, to use in Flash. I think that it probably surrounds any prior experience with HTML. Designing things for Flash and HTML can be so different at times, and on many occasions this is simply due to the fact that the programs/coding lanuages are so different themselves... which is probably why I'll never be fluent in HTML, or even be able to make more than a half-decent page in DreamWeaver.

Most of my Flash skills are self-tought, and Ellipse is my first project. Most of my Flash projects since I got the program have involved making and re-making the site (there have been about eight or so versions--don't let the "v2.0" bit fool you--not including the ones that didn't make the cut). I will be posting at ellipse a few tutorials for basic web site construction in Flash sometime in the near future.

ok bomu, this is one thing i can help u with, im a lot better at web design then drawing, so i can return the favor.

with the honda dealer layouts, the best one IMO is the first, cuz its clean and it doesnt have the red logo, which creates an unpleasant contrast. to improve the first i would suggest adding a gradient or too instead of a flat color fill, and possibly something to bring out the logos better, maybe a drop shadow or something.

the signum layout is ok, i would suggest doin something with that really light techy bg. maybe makin that a slightly different color, and a flat fill or gradient. its too visually stimulating to have a "zoom-blurred" image as the bg.

and the agent REPOS, i think its fine. gj on that one.

the LinuxInKent, the bg behind the text space is too confusing. its great behind the nav bar, but there it just doesnt look too good.

but keep workin on it, if u want to see some (not all, mind you) of my work, then go to www.pixelsynthesis.com (commercial) or www.davidkruta.tk (personal, this site is being redone so it lacks alotta content)

I like the way the Chambers site is layed out, but I think the palette needs a little work. I would suggest a bolder more primary blue to balance that bright red.

When I think of Chambers I always think of the big red and blue sign out the back that you see as you drive round past Rochester market.

Thanks for the info sinmaster7. I've spent the past week surfing great graphically designed sites - Flash and Html based and am really keen to get something done myself involving a little animation and more interativity than usual. I'll keep ya posted.

sentient, Thanks for the C&C. I agree on a lot of the points mentioned. Unfortuanetly half the time I'm being forced to make changed which I don't think are for the better.. I guess everyone has thier own tastes. Checked out some of your work - looking very nice too

Heh, cheers slumdog. It's cool to know you know the place! Honda's "Colours" are specifically Black, White Red and Grey, so had to use those. Even though I gotta admit I'm not too fond of the latest Chambers creation they got me doing, but I can see what you mean.

Well I updated the content on LinuxinKent - Client's happy, so I'm happy!

Got a few new graphics for ya too!


Prototype image design for Your Formula (where I work), unfortuanetly this colour scheme didn't fit in with the existing blue so it had to be changed to this: www.bugtesting.co.uk

Also, here's one of our company websites I'm making:
YourFormular.com
I hope to add some type of button interface which brings up a menu on the left, while keeping the main content in the middle.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, ya know I never tested the Your Formula site on Opera. even tho I should have >_< Anyways, It's outta my hands for the time being. But I'll keep that in mind for next time. I actually used a nav-bar program called "AllWebMenus" for that one so blame who ever created it! >_<

Try Yourformula on Netscape (6).

At the moment something like 90% of browsers are Microsoft's IE, so using MS code that only works on MS stuff isn't a major issue

... but AOL are changing back to Netscape which will increase users.

BTW Could eye suggest ewe spell cheque you're sight?

Spelling... this site - if it's intended to get you work and not just your hobby.

YF, you've used the wrong practise, it should be with a c. Generally IT has no fullstops. Email isn't hyphenated.

Other than that it's all fine and dandy.

I wasn't commenting about spelling on the messageboard, mainly because you'd say "You too!"
