This blogging lark isn’t as easy as it used to be!

I have updated this blog far too infrequently this year, the days of my first year when i blogged pretty much 2 or 3 times a week for the whole year seem a long time ago!

Anyway, i am going to make a concerted effort from here on in to update this with my progress as i approach the home straight of my degree (aaaahhhh!)

So without further ado, the topic of today is my client project

My client is a company called Clayground Collective, they are running a project whereby people around the world are encouraged to dig up clay from their local area and send it to London with the ultimate aim being to create a piece of artwork from all the clay that will sit in the Olympic gardens in 2012. An ambitious and exciting project, the stories of people participating are varied and fascinating and my task is to build a website that people can use as a central point for the project. Participants will be able to upload video, pictures and tales of their digging experiences and truly feel part of this project on a global scale.

The creators of Project Clay would be the first to admit their current website needs an overhaul, which is precisely where i come in. I am well into the process of this site now and have been working hard on coming up with suitable designs for this exciting project, of which i shall give a few examples below

Plenty of work to be done on this project yet, i shall post details of the design process of the two above mock ups shortly but for now i must get back to work! Adios!
