Hail O Taxi app

I was brought to my attention today an app called Hail O for hailing cabs in London.

The UI and UX is a pleasure on the eyes with the aesthetics simple yet its plain to see that real care has been taken by the designer. The subtle gradients and icons used.

Was also impressed with its ease of use and the idea behind the app that Cab drivers could adopt this SDK and work with it on picking up people.
The idea that you could see the cab drivers face before your picked up is a comforting feature.

Quooker mobile site

Since joining FetchMedia I have been working on a a mobile site for Quooker.
The design is very clean and the finished rendering is some of the best I've seen on mobile!
Full swipe implementation for gallery images is also a nice touch!
Updates will be coming soon for more country specific sites 

Blippar - Interactive ad for Forza 4

Very impressed with the Blippar interactive ads. First time I had experienced the Blippar technology and the quick start up and recognition of the ad was lighting fast.

More impressive was the graphics and the fact you can zoom in on the ad by moving your phone closer to the page. 

A nice feature also was the tap to rev the engine, gimmicky but in a good way.

I now find myself searching through magazines for more Blippar experiences. This might not be the future of advertising as it heavily relies on the user having the app but its a new direction that allows the user to engage with the brand more.

Some logo work

Some logo work for a friend of mine, enjoying mixing a few textures here! Full site to come soon!

Paramount mobile site

For a big client like paramount you would have thought you Would use a somewhat readable font!!

QR here there and everywhere

What's the point of a QR icon if it's unreadable by phone!

Ride snowboarding mobile site

Love snowboarding and I love this mobile site! Great graphics and layout! Not just your stereotypical mobile site template Which is pleasing to see!

Shit that Siri says

Great site based on the new Siri app and it's amusing answers! http://shitthatsirisays.tumblr.com/

Facebook update

Disappointed with the new Facebook for iPhone app, no horizontal scrolling to bring up the side bar menu system, feels so natural on the iPad and a shame it hast been passed in to the iPhone!

Eye sore of an app

Came across Internethotels booking app today and can't quite believe this was signed off in a design perspective! The colours drown your sorrows upon arrival and you can't even make out the icons on the bottom plane! In comparison to say hotels.com where the bright navigation makes the experience much more pleasurable

First mobile blog and its going KOKO

Love the new app for one of my favourite London clubs KOKO! My eyes are drawn to vivid graphics but delve deeper and the whole app is just a great experience of up to date info, gig listings, tweets, user photos and more!
Live the colour palette and design!
