Just a quick note, I have now added a new domain to my site: http://designedbythomas.co.uk - you will see exactly the same thing as if you were visiting the site from: http://thomasedavis.co.uk so there is no massive change going on with the working of the site.

designedbythomas.co.uk provides a slightly clearer url than thomasEdavis.co.uk - people can often miss out the E or spell Davis: davies.

There are some changes needing to be made within the site, mainly wherever I haven't used a relative link but either way you will end up at this site so there shouldn't be too many problems!

I think we all need a bit of inspiration once in a while, regardless of the field you work in! It is always useful to find a consistent source of inspiration which you can admire whenever a creative block forms over your head.

Not long ago I came across designfridge - a brilliant collection of various different websites and website designers all packaged into a cool clean site.

I am very pleased to announce a brand new website design project: andyhudsonmusic.com has just gone live!

The website is part of a complete redesign & rebranding project which aims to increase Andys online presence as well as giving him a more professional and refined brand image to operate under. As well as a new design the new website also comes with increased functionality which gives Andy the ability to easily upload his music tracks to the website himself.

I recently came across the site: behance.net - the site showcases creative portfolios and work from various people all over the world.

At the moment you cannot simply signup to the site, I am not sure whether or not this will change in the future but at the moment you can register interest in the site then be invited to join it. I registered my interest in the site and within a few hours was invited to join so it was quite a quick process.

I am very pleased to reveal the new logo for my client: Mr. Andy Hudson.
The new logo is part of a larger rebrand project for Andys professional portfolio.

Andy is currently working as a freelance music producer and did some fantastic work for me on my promotional motion graphics video.

I will reveal the rebranded website when it goes live within the coming months but for now feast your eyes on the new logo:

For those of you who follow me on twitter - you may have read that I recently became the owner of an Apple iPhone. I must admit that it was quite a hard decision, the lack of a camera above 3 megapixels being the main reason I didn't really want to join the Apple masses. Nevertheless, I now have the device and must admit: I love it!

I recently completed a new promotional motion graphics piece to advertise my services in a fun and exciting way. The music used in the video was produced by my good friend Andy Hudson.

The video makes use of the new Video Copilot Sure Target 2 plugin.

The video will take pride of place on the front page as a short description of what I do.

In my previous blog post on website design & cross-browser support , I brought up the issue of cross-browser support and the main challenges for website designers trying to acheive the same site in all browsers - most notable Internet Explorer 6. Now, it seems that problem may be about to be resolved.

A major aspect of website design & development is cross-browser support: making sure your website looks and feels 'roughly' the same in different web browsers running on different operating systems.

As 2009 draws to a close I find myself looking ahead to the future, making plans and setting myself personal and professional goals.

2009 brought many changes to my website; the most notable change is the design of the site, the new design fit into the new direction of the site. A site more focussed on design and not just development.

As well as the new design, 2009 brought new areas of work: print and motion graphics both of which I am keen to expand on within 2010.
