Recent Writing…

Writing - 19 March 2010 - No Comments

Lately I’ve been writing quite a lot, and although I post most of it on my own personal blog, Escaped Emotions but as this is our portfolio, I thought I would share my two latest pieces on here!

Hush Now
Hush now, hush now,
watch us tip toe
skate and dance
never touching, only skimming.
Hush now, don’t ruin the suspense

Photography - 6 March 2010 - No Comments

In February we spent a huge amount of time in front and behind the camera.
It was my personal aim to add as many photographs to my personal DeviantART account as possible. Which is exactly what we did…in February 2010 we, or rather I, added 154 photographs.
I thought I would share some of my favourite photographs [...]

iPhone Wallpaper Designs

Portfolio - 4 March 2010 - No Comments

iPhone Wallpaper Designs (www.iPhoneWallpaperDesigns.com) is one of our most recent projects.
Having made so many designs for Plurk Layouts and other websites we thought it would make sense to make those designs in another format — a fair amount of work, but we’d already done 50% anyway!
The website, iPhone Wallpaper Designs has sets of wallpapers. You [...]

Escaped Emotions

Portfolio - 1 December 2009 - No Comments

Escaped Emotions (www.escaped-emotions.com) is my most recent website, I bought the domain back in 2006.
I had it open for a few months, and then when we moved servers it somehow managed to get deleted, and I somehow didn’t have a proper back-up.
This year, 2009, I decided to bring it to life once again. I post [...]

Taking Plurk Layouts to a new Level

Blog - 22 May 2009 - 1 Comment

Our most recent project is a design website which is linked to a new social network, Plurk. We put Plurk Layouts together in August 2008, as soon as Plurk released the ability to change profile CSS.
When Plurk released the ability, we quickly bought the domain and put together some form of website layout – which [...]

Plurk CSS Changes

Blog - 20 May 2009 - No Comments

About three weeks ago Plurk underwent changes, which included adding a new feature to it – their real-time search feature… with their changes, we also had to adapt things with Plurk Layouts.
They were forced to change some of their CSS classes, which caused a few problems for us and any users who installed our layouts. [...]

Project Plurk Default Layout

Blog - 20 May 2009 - No Comments

We recently worked on a great project with Plurk – strangely, it wasn’t 100% Plurk Layouts revolved… and yet it was.
Plurk asked us to create a brand new default design for their users, mostly who were 21+ and feeling a lot more serious. They wanted to have some form of default design which appealed to [...]

Photography Passion

Photography - 18 May 2009 - No Comments

We’ve all had a passion for photography, followed closely by modeling – simply because we love photographing people, and we use each other, and friends to practice on. It’s the perfect excuse – we’ve done a lot of it, and you can see our recent stuff in the sidebar… but here are a few “teasers”.
We [...]

The developers of Plurk, otherwise known as the A-Team came to us and asked us to design a new default layout for the users of Plurk.

LTY Tutorials

Portfolio - 17 May 2009 - No Comments

LTY Tutorials was our second online project, which interlinked with our first project LTY Designs – our aim with LTY Tutorials was to give those who are starting to use Photoshop an easy way to learn.
With LTY Tutorials, we used it to learn how to create a tutorial-based website – how to make it user [...]

Cards On The Hill

Portfolio - 16 May 2009 - No Comments

Kylie Morton came to us and asked us to create a website for her for her handcrafting card business. She had content, but no website at all.
We created the website from scratch, setting up the content management system, explaining how to use Wordpress, which is the content managment system we decided on.
Once that was set [...]

Plurk Layouts

Portfolio - 16 May 2009 - No Comments

There are other designers for Plurk, however we supply 80% of Plurk users. We have an average of 80,000 [...]

Successful Natural Horsecare

Portfolio - 16 May 2009 - No Comments

www.successful-natural-horsecare.com is one of the first websites we worked on – apart from our very first website, LTY Designs.
The website is owned by our mother, Sarah Bell.
We spent a huge amount of time working on the layout, the design, logo, and overall styling of this for her.
It was important that we made this website accessible [...]

When we bought the domain www.letters-to-you.com we didn’t even know what CSS was, how [...]
