Digital Nostalgia

paulbutt — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 19:47:21 +0000

I am part of a generation that as grown up in parallel to some incredible technologies that have dramatically changed the way we live, but I have also got to the age where I’ve found myself becoming nostalgic about how things used to be. This inspired me to base my university major project on the progress of technology and some of the social events that have been influenced by it during my lifetime.

A special version of the Mobile Evolution poster was commissioned for the February edition of Wired UK magazine.

Top Gear vs. Fifth Gear

After watching a bit too much Dave featuring back to back episodes of Top Gear and Fifth Gear, I was inspired to create these infographic posters, scientifically showing my thoughts on both.

Scream London

Scream is an exclusive contemporary art gallery located in the centre of London. For this site I first shot the photos which would make up an evolving background of the site. After creating mockups in Photoshop, I created the main page structure, menu system and transition animations in Flash, from where it was passed onto another member of the team to be intergrated with a MySQL database.

The Forgotten Defenders

paulbutt — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:53:08 +0000

A two page spread for a Zine project. The given themes were British, 50+ years old, and three and it had to be in black and white.

My design is based on the British attempt at a nuclear deterrent during the Cold War, which to my mind has largely been forgotten by today’s society. The men who flew these machines were tasked with defending our island nation, knowing if they were ever launched in anger, they probably wouldn’t survive, and there might not be anything for them to return to.

What started as a visual CV became a series of infographics that documented different aspects of my life and my interests.

76 Portland Place

paulbutt — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 02:23:50 +0000

This exclusive conference venue in the centre of London required an update of their current website. This turned into a complete new site design from which design hints were taken to create new branded printed materials.

Magna Science Adventure Centre

paulbutt — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 19:22:24 +0000

Magna needed a design for a content managed site through which visitors could book tickets online. On top of that, it had to fulfil the needs of three different types of visitor and still be fun and true to the spirit of Magna itself.

JBS Auto Designs

paulbutt — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 16:45:16 +0000

A performance tuning company wanted an e-commerce site that was bright and would make them stand out from the crowd.

Event Sheffield

paulbutt — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 03:11:27 +0000

A website displaying all the latest events in and around Sheffield. This site had a demanding spec which required a lot of flexibility, especially around the event input form which had to be on a single page, and expanded or contracted based on user selection.

The RSA House is a conference and event venue in central London. This flash floorplan was designed to allow guests to see which rooms matched their specifications and visitors could click through to look around a 360 degree tour.
