Achillies 02


The second layout from my Achillies series.
I took a different approach to making the this one, playing with the materials and textures. The lighting was a little tricky to get right but i got it to work, creating the sphere effect.

Norman Mackay.com



Aaaaaaand here's NormanMackay.com!
A small site for the musician, it shares stylings with his Ceilidh Experience site for a bit for continuity, and contains info about the artist, his compositions and recordings. Short and sweet description, but i think the site speaks for itself.

Ceilidh Experience


OK, so it's been a little bit longer than I wanted, but here it is! Another post! This is the new website for Norman Mackay's Ceilidh Experience, a fantastic ceilidh band based in Edinburgh. I have worked closely with Norman on this and I'm really pleased with the final outcome, and already we're receiving positive feedback from visitors.
Expect Norman's personal music site online very shortly.

Achillies Series


The first plaster layout from a series named achillies.
From my continual learning about cubism and abstract art, inspiratin is drawn from Kasimir Malevich and sculpter Ben Nicholson.
These 3d layouts are a progression of my cut paper layouts (will put a few up here, then the set on mattb77.co.uk) and my love of images of constellations, flight trajectories and right now, the latest images from Cassini.

Numbers [work in progress]


Ok, first post of work...
Typography is my major passion so it's only right that my first piece of work to be shown here is my ongoing numbers project.
Not only will this be an awesome resource for me, but I think when I have completed the board it will look pretty nice in its on right... the idea being to collect from zero to ninety nine from the streets around me. A slow burning project, so i guess there will be a few updates of this in the coming weeks!

It begins

So here it is! My first post, finally!
Welcome to the Mattb77 blog, this is where i'll be showing all my latest work and updates of ongoing projects.
I'll try to keep the site updated regularly, and show all the varying work I like to create, from websites to compositional studies.
My website mattb77.co.uk is home to my older work, and is currently undergoing a major redesign to include my fourth year work from my Graphic Design degree from Edinburgh College of Art, and much more. Enjoy!

Matt.
