The all new Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi, which will stage the final Grand Prix of the 2009 season had being branded by ripe ! The whole team have worked on everything from the initial logo, shown here, to restaurant menus, branded Porsche cars, and all the hotel marketing collateral. The initial pitch for the work was a significant challenge as some of the UK’s biggest branding agencies were pitching for the work, so it was quite an event when ripe heard the news that we’d beaten off some of the big boys.

This is a piece of freelance design & 3d visualisation work for i to i travel. Basically they have bought 2 camper vans and are using them for mobile marketing & promotions. The brief was to design the vans, both inside and out, and visualise how they would look for client approval. This was to include all graphic design elements, interior design and accessories / internal storage etc. This is one of the van styles I designed and is the ’surf van’. The Camper van was modeled in 3D Studio max and all graphics were created in Photoshop and Illustrator. Find out more about i-to-i here www.i-to-i.com

A recent job for the nice people over at Brandfuel These guys had a few ideas and the odd sketch of where they wanted to go with a design for Harmon Kardon and their Pro and Consumer ranges of products. They needed somone to run with the design and produce some scale drawings and renders of the work to show to the client, which is where I came into the picture. This was a great project to work on, but it required lots of research and understanding about the products and planning of how the stand would work.

This is some early idea generation work for Garmin, for a modular exhibition stand design solution, using interchangeable and interlocking display units that can easily be adapted for different product needs. The main units have a sliding display arm fixing that allows different fixings to be added to the display units for different products. The tops are also interchangeable so that the overall look of the units can change for say, a marine show, an outdoor show, or a motorbike show.

Part of a much larger body of work for ripe this is an early visual to show how the old ILVA building in Manchester could be converted into ‘The Urban Market’ shopping centre. All I had to work with were a few photos of the space as it currently exists, so I simply guessed the sizes of the spaces based on common sense and comparing the odd dimension we did have from a site visit.

Another piece of work produced at ripe for Media City in Manchester. After winning a recent pitch to work on the Media City account, ripe are now producing a number of pieces of design work for the scheme. This image was produced for use in a brochure and shows a number of schemes produced by the Peel group. I thought it would be nice to show how this image developed and i’ve uploaded a few additional image to show how it ended up looking as it does here in the final 3d render.

This is a fun project that i’m working on for a friend, designer Mark McGrath. He designed the 2d ‘Hug’ logo and character and asked if I could do a 3d version for him. This image is my 1st render and is a work in progress. I used poly modeling to create the 3d character and then skinned and boned the character manually so I could put them into various poses. I realized that I wanted to have more control over the animation rig in the character and decided to re-rig him using Brad Noble’s excellent skeleton rig. I’m also reworking the hands, arms, feet and hair and hopefully I should have an animated version of the character finished soon.
