_what
website for the british painter, thomas newbolt.
_how
giles and caspar have been casually working on a new website for the artist thomas newbolt for some time now. a few years back a beta version of the site was launched, and now after plenty of idle tinkering it feels to us that it's as complete as it will ever be.

an exercise in minimalism, compatibility and search engine optimization, the site functions simply and intuitively on mobile and desktop. furthermore it provides access to as near a complete works by the painter as there has yet been available.

the site would be nothing of course without the incredible fine art photography of the ipswich-based, douglas atfield. doug has visited thomas's studio on regular occasions and lit, photographed and elegantly cropped almost every single one of thomas's works to date.

_what
website for the nashville-based band, the protomen.
_how
the protomen asked that we might make a website for their new album, act III - this city made us. we reached out to our old friend and long-standing collaborator jules janssen and asked that he make us an interactive parallax version of the album's cover, similar to the album release video joey ciccoline made for the band. for that john delucca had cut his album cover painting up into pieces and jules consequently laid these pieces into a complex, custom, wordpress-based user interface of his own design.

caspar designed the rest of the site on top of that so that it would incorporate the band's pre-existing blog, working with jules to add small html 5 / canvas / CSS generated animated elements to bring the experience further to life. the protomen then worked with us to fine tune the site to their ultimate satisfaction.

please note this site was built to evolve, so stay tuned for updates in the near future.

_what
website for the tron legacy soundtrack by daft punk
_how
understanding that we were enormous fans of the original TRON film, and its forthcoming sequel, topspin and disney asked us to create a site to gather emails for the new film's soundtrack release. 

given the soundtrack was created by daft punk it was safe to assume anything we made would be very popular with fans of the band and the 80s film alike. as such, we took full advantage of some of the latest web technologies (with help from mr. doob) and produced a site that works on iphones, ipads as well as regular machines. the end result is a streamlined data collection / e-commerce site with a series of film-related easter-eggs for fans to discover.
