tk1 - Portfolio of web designer & producer Tom Knowles

This is a project I'm really proud of. Chromazone asked us to design a completely unique site that would get them noticed and win awards. Now that's a brief.

I built a prototype, and then Paul applied his ActionScript magic to it and brought the whole thing to life. Dan N also built an HTML version that uses XSL to draw on the Flash site's XML data. Sexy.

It's a testament to the site's uniqueness that it's been ripped off so many times.

Silverlining make one-of-a-kind furniture for luxury homes and superyachts. They asked us to create a unique website that conveys the values of luxury, innovation and craftsmanship. Who wouldn't love to work on something like that?

Another full team effort – Dan N designed the concept and most of the layouts, and Paul handled the hards-as-nails ActionScript.

This site made this semi-finals of the Adobe Max awards.

GCSEPod produce and sell audio/video revision guides for 14-16 UK students. The Roundhouse was asked to create the brand and then develop the eCommerce website.

The scope was ambitious, and the project required some cutting-edge dev work and high-end SEO techniques.

Dan P did some great initial creative work, then Paul and I then came on board to work on UX, CSS and the backend logic. We put some really nice stuff together, if I do say so myself. Check out the CMS-generated album artwork in the accordion.

This was great fun to be involved with. The Roundhouse has worked with Penn State and their parent company Intersnack for a long time, designing packaging and websites for their products. When they wanted to the relaunch Penn State brand with a TV ad campaign, we were brought into create a new, video-centric website and viral game to drive traffic to it.

The site and game (the aptly named 'Pretzel Panic') were a big success, and also gained us another Adobe Site of The Day award.
