IN-ROOM INTERFACE
2

Weeks Design/Code HTML/CSS Photoshop Web Design

Working at Acentic I am responsible for creating

the In-Room Interface for worldwide brands using
various solutions.

The various interfaces are first

mocked up within Photoshop and then
developed and styled using HTML and
CSS.

These final designs are then

presented to the Hotelier and tweaked
if necessary. Throughout my time at
Acentic many of the designs led to
repeat work and bringing new
opportunities for the company.

MODERNFAMILIES UI

Months Lead Design Illustrator Photoshop App Design

A UI design created whilst on my internship with

Modernfamilies. The apps purpose was to serve
elderly users with a means of keeping updated
on their relatives lives via a bespoke social media
service.

There were certain design choices to

keep in mind whilst producing the UI
such as legibility and user interaction.
The specification allowed two modes
of the app for two different user types,
active (young users/phone) and pas-
sive (elderly users/tablet)

Feedback confirmed that users were

fans of the app redesign and
considered it easier to use and an
improvement over the last iteration.

PROMOTION VIDEO

Weeks Production Premiere After Effects Promotion

A brief was given to produce a minute

long video showing three key aspects of
the Modernfamilies social network. Inher-
iting stories, No search logging, and Priva-
cy. The video was produced to be played
to an audience at an expo and talked over
and then dubbed over at a later date for
adding to the website.

The video was presented at the expo but

due to being unable to find a voice actor
was not displayed on the website.

The video is available to view at

// INSTALLATION

FOUR
This project was a collaboration between
my friend Sam Barcham and myself and act-
ed as a culmination of all the skills we had
picked up at university whilst also learning
new ones. It was an installation which took
the user on a musical experience with the in-
put of their phone and gestures.

Sam was responsible for the visual aspect

and me for the sound design and program-
ming. The system we set up had many vari-
ables. OSC data was sent from the users de-
vice to Touch Designer and then to ableton
Kinect Touch Designer Max
via max for live.

Max for live programming was required to

control the variables in which certain inputs
were allowed
Ableton Live
We both worked very well together as a
team receiving a first for our efforts and
both being awarded the cognitive media
OSC Data Touch award for innovation in the field of digital
Kinect Data OSC
media.

PERSONAL BRANDING

Weeks Personal InDesign Illustrator Photoshop Branding

This year I have been working on personal

branding including creating a logo for
myself and creating brand guidelines and
rules for print in preparation for the launch
of my portfolio site and print jobs.

Whilst producing a portfolio for print and

binding I learnt the fundamentals of
magazine style layouts, communicating with
the print house and ensuring everything was
prepared for print.

I sent my portfolio to the printers and due

to my diligence everything came out correct
first time, next step will be to produce
artwork for print and learn embossing.
