Gaming Dead
The brief:
The brief for this site was rather fun! Rather than the usual video game news site, Gaming Dead is geared toward the darker side of the games industry, the horror genre! The site needed a new, grim character based brand and a creepy menacing site design too. With all that said though, it still had to retain an element of fun and playfulness, what a great combo!
The solution:
We obviously started out with the brand first off and settled on the idea of a scalped, brain exposed zombie office worker! What an ugly fella this guy turned out to be! With the character branding sorted, we moved onto creating his home and playground, the website! This was so much fun to work on as it’s been ages since I created a zombie character. So if you like the darker side of the gaming world take a wander over and have a read. Great little project!

Fieldrunners
I couldn’t believe my luck when I got contacted by the guys over at Subatomic Studios to see if I’d be interested in the re-design of their new site! Fieldrunners is quite possibly the best iPhone game I have ever laid my hands on!
Shank 2
After creating the original Shank blog, I was tasked with creating a new design for the epically awesome looking Shank 2!

@DamienMcFerran Maybe not to this extent, but I'm sure Nintendo are used to leading the handheld charge...has anyone ever outsold them? more...
