The Fray
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:blog.thefray.net
Launched to coincide with the release of The Fray's self-titled second album (which debuted at #1 in the Billboard albums chart) this site incorporates a large amount of custom theming. Features include jQuery to control the comments and comment form toggling, templates for album and track nodes, and a slick photos pager (above). I built the site out and themed it before handing off to the global team who worked on the translations.
American Idol Music
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:americanidolmusic.com
Built to accompany the consistently #1 rated show on U.S. television (source: Nielsen) American Idol Music acts an aggregator of and jumping off point for each of the artist's main sites. My role was to build and theme the site, which will be launched in two stages, with the full version incorporating custom sections for each artist containing their latest news, videos and photos alongside links to purchase their music.
Ciara
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:ciaraworld.com
Ciara's new Drupal 6 site was launched just ahead of her 'Love Sex Magic (feat. Justin Timberlake)' single release and utilises panels, views, and custom content types to organise and display content. Of particular note is the 'Ciara's Posts' block whose output varies depending upon the type of media (text and/or video and/or image) contained within the node. Like The Fray, this is another multi-language site.
Britney Spears
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 5 theme re-skin from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:britney.com (theme no longer live)
Launched to tie in with the release of her 'Circus' album, Britney Spears's Drupal 5 based site was given a re-skin to incorporate a more modern feel. To accommodate the vast number of fans who visit and interact with her site on a daily basis, it was of paramount importance that I ensure the theme be fully robust with complete cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility.
Paula DeAnda
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site upgrade and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:pauladeanda.com
Launched in the build up to her comeback single 'Roll the Credits' Paula DeAnda's new Drupal 6 site provides fans with an array of artist related media including videos, photos, news, and Twitter updates. The home page incorporates panels, views, flash, and custom blocks unified by a design which makes subtle use of a transparent background overlay.
The Derek Trucks Band
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:derektrucks.com
A new site for The Derek Trucks Band, the focus of this Drupal 6 build was both on staying in touch with the band and also allowing fans a more direct one-to-one communication via chat. Theme features include views, panels, and custom theming to control content, and a light use of sIFR throughout to allow the consistent rendering of the titles' non-system font Clarendon across all users' browsers.
Miranda Cosgrove
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:mirandacosgroveofficial.com
Having found fame in the Nickelodeon TV series iCarly, Miranda Cosgrove required a new site to support her burgeoning success as both an actress and singer. The theming challenge here was to implement the graphic heavy interface in a flexible manner so as to comfortably accommodate the content whilst not compromising the design detail.
Spectacular
- CLIENT:Sony Music
- SERVICES:Drupal 6 site build and theme conversion from Photoshop documents (PSDs)
- SITE:spectacularsoundtrack.com
Built especially to accompany the launch of the movie and promote the soundtrack, this site provides a one stop shop for everything Spectacular. Cast info, album info, news items, photos, videos, mobile content, wallpapers, buddy icons, a forum, and even blog posts contributed by each of the four main cast members are available to users, with the entire site being backed by a bold design which utilises PNGs to give a semi-transparent background.
Linerider
- CLIENT:Gravitek Labs
- SERVICES:Visual design concepts
- SITE:linerider.com
Linerider is an online Flash game which required a new Drupal based site to support the community that had developed around it. I delivered two visual design concepts with a focus on social networking features such as user submitted content (in this case video).
Wise Vacations
- CLIENT:Blue Tent Marketing
- SERVICES:Drupal theme conversion from PSDs
- SITE:wisevacations.com
Wise Vacations is a holiday property rentals site which was being converted from a static HTML site to a Drupal based site. I was hired to convert the designs (in this case PSDs) into a Drupal theme. The final theme provides a lot of custom theming for the incorporated escapia module, and also some nifty work on the pager.
Galerie-Lucie
- CLIENT:Me in IT
- SERVICES:Drupal theme conversion from PSDs
- SITE:galerie-lucie.com
Galerie-Lucie is an arts and crafts e-commerce site which was being converted from static HTML to Drupal. I was hired to convert the designs (in this case PSDs) into a Drupal theme. The final theme incorporates some advanced menu system theming, which underpins the striking menu design, and a little touch of JavaScript (jQuery) for those rounded corners.
Ossigeno
- CLIENT:Ossigeno
- SERVICES:Drupal theme conversion from PSDs
- SITE:ossigeno.com
Ossigeno is a site offering Lotus Notes to SharePoint migration services. This was another site being converted from static HTML to Drupal, which required a fresh Drupal theme. The final theme is built for optimum performance, and as such is extremely light weight, fast loading, and clean edged.
Kupo
- CLIENT:Everyone
- SERVICES:Drupal theme contributed to the drupal.org community
- SITE:lhmdesign.com/kupo
Kupo is my first (soon to be) publicly available Drupal theme (I'm just ironing out the last few kinks before it goes live on drupal.org). The design challenge here was to create a theme which was functional, good-looking, and had a broad appeal. As with all of my themes, it includes theming for every core module (both required and optional) as well as lots of other nice features.
