Dot Net Build Off
Last month our company was asked by .net Magazine to produce a design for their monthly “Build Off” feature, which boils down to three studios being given a fictional brief and creating a single homepage design to answer it. I’d like to talk about how I’m above such petty show-boating, and how I politely declined, saying that working for free (even for a publication) was a little unethical. However, as I’ve never had anything of mine published ever I nearly bit my managers hand off when he offered me the brief.
My efforts were included in the latest edition shown above (October, Issue 181), so if you fancy seeing my design as well as my fair and beautiful face pick up a copy in WHSmith and take a look.

Well done Mr Clark, I’ll go have a look for it tomorrow
Well done on being featured!
I saw your designs man and thought you, then Bennett-Chamberlain produced the most striking looking designs.
Only lightly surprised though to see you embracing the use of Flash even on a conceptual level.
Did you use a bit of 3D max to create the building graphics?
Sam. Personally, I preferred you design out of all 3, the third one was hardly designed (I even forgot the designers name), Bennett-Chamberlain’s design was slick but it looked far too rigid and didn’t look as bright and as playful as yours. I’d put you first… You ssuper-star designer, you
Giz a shout next month when you’re on the front cover!
Yeah used 3D Max to knock up the 3D, I didn’t build the model from scratch though, its a modified model that appeared on a 3D World cover disk, and the logo was a rejected concept from a freelance client!
Glad you liked the design guys, tried to keep it young and happy, was good fun. Just wish those paparazzi would leave me alone!
Nothing wrong with this, at all, people should get it more.
