BBC Hubs website nominated for AIMIA award
on Jan 16 in News tagged Agency, AwardsR&B Creative has been nominated as finalist in two categories at the upcoming 2012 AIMIA Awards.
I was privileged to have a hand in designing the multi-region BBC Hubs website, which is a finalist in the Best News, Reference or Media category. It is certainly a treat to see my name listed there along with the other super talented people at R&B. I also got the amazing opportunity to design the mobile version to the BBC Hubs website, and I am looking forward to releasing a new gallery entry for the mobile site in the very near future.

on Jan 13 in News tagged Agency, Photoshop, web
The new ‘series 18′ of the massively popular Top Gear is about to start hitting TV screens around the globe and the series micro-site is just days away from launch.
I have been spending a good portion time with the super talented team at R&B Creative, and over the course of time I was privileged enough to be elected to do all the high-end Photoshop retouching and compositing.
Mark Bannister and Adam Finden created a fantastic front end design which made the retouch work even more of a joy to develop.
I’m looking forward to bring you a peek into what it takes to build up and image like the one above, including adding ‘The Stig’, making the wheels ‘spin’ and adding smoke.
