Details:

Nigel is a much respected graphics and user interface design professional, working both in web and print. Nigel is one of the founders of creativelatitude.com, a platform that unites various creative disciplines for collective promotion, education and ethical business practice.

Working as the Senior Designer for the London office of US company Interactive Bureau, Nigel provided design direction for learndirectscotland.com. The site provides a source of information for people in Scotland who wish to return to education or improve on their existing work skills. Nigel designed the site's look and feel, defining its structure and presenting vast quantities of content in an engaging and easy-to-use layout.

Over the past year Nigel has designed two sites that have been funded by NOF (New Opportunities Fund) - for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Horseracing Museum.

For SCIP's Virtual Festival 2003 project Nigel revamped the Festival's branding by making the existing logo more dynamic and modern. He applied the new logo to a diverse array of designs for advertisements, t-shirts, promotional flyers and - crucially - the Festival website. Fellow volunteers Richard Dallaway and Jane Dallaway implemented Nigel's design, and Tom Hume from Future Platforms assisted on mobile blogging for the site. Nigel devised the site's homepage strapline: "Getting Brighton & Hove clicking together".
