ROLE: Senior Designer (2011 – 2014) at 24.com
A small collection of some of the work I did while I was at 24.com
PROJECT: Design a page for News24 to pull in a live Twitter feed
TOOLS: Adobe Photoshop, HTML, CSS
We were looking for a way to update user quickly when a big news event was happening. The in-house editors would create hashtags on Twitter and then the journalist at the trial would tweet and make use of the specific hashtag. We realised the need for this when the Oscar Pistorius trial was happening & we could not keep users informed fast enough. This brilliant solution was the brainchild of Cathryn Reece.
PROJECT: Update the Food24 website to look more modern, with the least amount of effort for the developers.
TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
Updated the font being used across the website. Redesigned the category pages to contain more visuals. Designed a carousel for the category pages.
PROJECT: Currency & Weather blocks for the Traveller24 website
TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator, Paper and Pencil
While working at 24.com I did quite a big variety of jobs one of the things I did was design the “Currency” and “Weather” blocks on Traveller24. This is still visible on the Traveller24 website. I also designed the “Most Read” and “Editor’s Choice” blocks.
The “Currency” block does not look exactly the same anymore. The text on the “Weather” block was white and not black, the Celcius “C” should be Caps ;).
I loved working on such a big variety of subjects, it kept things interesting.
