AppFurnace

Development

AppFurnace is an online toolkit for creating iPhone apps, ranging from screen-based apps to more pervasive, location-aware experiences. AppFurnace Beta has already been used to create some location-aware apps for the Tower of London, Bristol’s mShed, and the Royal Shakespeare Company and is now available to everyone to start creating their own apps.

I’ve been working with Calvium (the company behind AppFurnace) since autumn 2010, as part of the development team, helping to test, build and refine the initial release of AppFurnace in August 2011. As a developer, I’ve been using PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML & CSS, and have been involved in all aspects of the project, from design through to testing.

Currently, we're developing support for the Android platform, so that your apps can reach an even larger audience. You can keep up with the latest, by following @appfurnace.

Tim Lane

Website

Tim Lane is a Bristol-based Artist who creates paintings and drawings, taking inspiration from literature, myths and folklore.

Tim wanted to refresh his previous website with a cleaner aesthetic that focussed attention on his new work, so we used a parred-down colour palette, many of the pages being almost completely grayscale, except for accents of bold vermillion drawn from Tim’s hand-painted signature.

Antlers Gallery

Logo, Website & Email

Antlers Gallery is a nomadic gallery, hosting exhibits of emerging artists in unused shop spaces across Bristol. Antlers wanted to break away from the traditional, stuffy atmosphere of fine art galleries – making art accessible by anyone.

The logo is set in the strong & clean Nevis Bold with an inverted letter A, suggesting a simplified stag’s head to reinforce the antlers imagery, as well as being a modern take on the origins of the letter.

Without a permanent gallery space, the website became the main place that people would come to interact with Antlers. It was important that people could feel connected to what was going on, so we created an email newsletter as another way that people could show interest, stay up-to-date with the range of projects and exhibits, and extend the brand beyond the website.
