Hello
My name is Mark and I have good eyes. This site presents my design blog and portfolio as well as providing a home for various other projects. Based in London, I produce graphic design across a large variety of mediums and also like to post interesting work of others that I find.

Updates and awards
Some quick bits of news about the projects I've worked on at B-Reel recently...
We've added a few new features to the Mr Strings site over the past weeks, including the ability to download a handy image of your character (to use as a buddy icon or the like).
Also, I'm pleased to say that both Mr Strings and Chorophyllo picked up FWA Site of the Day awards. With these, and a fair few others, B-Reel has now entered the rather elite FWA Hall of Fame. Finally, the banners promoting Mr Strings got a mention on BannerBlog. All rather good news!
El Invencible Chlorophyllo
Our latest project from B-Reel London is an adventure through the world of cult Mexican wrestling movies, produced for Airwaves France. Bash through Chlorophyllo's adventure, smashing bad guys and climbing mountains along the way.
B-Reel making-of photos
The B-Reel Flickr account has started to really fill up with lots of making-of photos from our various projects – including a few from Mr Strings. Take a look!
Award for HPV vaccine campaign
I'm pleased to say that the HPV vaccine campaign I art directed at Mook has just picked up a MediaGuardian Innovation Award in the 'Launch' category. Great!
Observed: A nice vector
Eliss is a really unique game for the iPhone that's well worth checking out for it's clever use of multi-touch and neat vector graphics. There seem to be quite a few cool things about in this style too – see also, Carolina Melis' amazing video for Efterklang.
The world of Mr Strings
The first project I've been involved in at B-Reel has been creating the rather surreal world of Mr Strings (and some ads to go with it). Featuring a unique character creator and four different worlds to explore, the site forms part of Fallon's new campaign for Cheestrings.

Christmas with Ciara
Just before leaving Mook I designed this very-micro site for a Christmas-themed promotion at Foot Locker. It gives shoppers access to a free Ciara track as well as a competition to win the opportunity to meet Ciara herself. The campaign uses elements designed, constructed and shot by Serial Cut.
The final version is now online. The Ciara campaign has now ended so the site is no longer online.
