Once again another 99 Design competition entry.

I had great fun with this project as I basically had free reign to do what ever I pleased as long as I adhered to their brief which was flexible but gave a few pointers as to what they were expecting.

The SEO Agency had pointed out 2 sites which they liked the look of, which I loosely based my design upon. (more…)

I had a very pleasant surprise yesterday, after submitting my new “Showwy” design to 99 designs I was contacted by another member who wanted me to take part in a private competition for a facebook app design called Social Stork.

The main function of this new facebook app is this..

Social Stork is a new social moms Facebook application allowing moms to scrapbook their kids online, to share with friends, and to socialize with other moms. (more…)

So here’s my second venture in the wonderful new world of 99designs.

The target audience for this is those who are interested in sharing online. Those who already post in Flickr pools, Facebook groups, and “showoff your X” forum threads.

The client wanted the website to have the feel of TumbleR, Vimeo and other like designed sites.

Another 99designs submission here’s a clip of the brief given.

Our target audience is any webmaster, business owner or site developer. We work with both large and small companies as well as lone webmasters. We target anyone looking to improve their website with custom content either for SEO purposes or for readability.

Looking for a professional, clean, modern and sleek design for my site. (more…)

Fed Up Bloating… Before a couple of weeks ago I had no idea what Candida was and to be honest I’m still not sure. But saying that I have learnt to mould the colour pink into a workable clay which I fashioned into their new look website which is taking the old designs place.

In the coming month the whole Fed Up Bloating website will be changed to the new theme. But for the time being it’s only the opening site. (more…)

Flame International came to Ollie Ford & Co. with the wishes of giving their out of date website a fresh lick of paint on a shoe string budget.

We were more than happy to help, working closely with their marketing specialist I created the artwork for their opening page. The main function of this exercise was to give the website organisation and a touch of flair to encourage visitors to learn more about Flame. (more…)

Roses and Posies came to Yellow Duck Web Design with a dilemma. They had some sour dealings with another web design company who tried to extort money from them in order to complete a website they had already paid for.

So they came to us and Yellow Duck claimed back the domain and started work on their new website which we hoped will meet their expectations.

Roses and Posies turned out to be the ideal client they gave us a specific brief which focused on large photography and galleries. I took on the project and it was turned around in a week. Happy client and a happy Yellow Duck. (more…)

I’ve been lucky enough over the past few weeks to find myself working freelance on a semi permanent basis at a local web design company by the name of Ollie Ford and Co. which also trades under the name of Yellow Duck Web Design.

I was brought on board to help out with existing projects which led to me taking on new projects and overseeing and creating the re-branding of the Yellow Duck website. Which was in much need of a fresh lick of paint because even though the old site did the task amicably the competition was strengthen their web presence so Yellow Duck needed to change with the times. (more…)

It’s been around for awhile but being me I’ve only just found it.

99designs is my new best friend, if I find myself with a free afternoon I can quickly pop on over to their competition section and start work on any number of design briefs. This is great because it’s keeps me improving my design techinque and if I win I get paid. (more…)
