Hobby Horse Art + Design
Conceptual Flash-based Portfolio Website
Conceptual Flash-based Portfolio Website
The Hobby Horse brand and its accompanying website is one of my larger attempts at incorporating animation, interactivity, web and traditional design into a single project. The site is completely Flash-based, and was built with limited hand-coding, which works well with a portfolio style website.
I had a very clear concept for the branding of Hobby Horse Art + Design from the beginning. The term was taken from a favorite novel of mine – Laurence Sterne's Tristram Shandy – and developed into a logo that represents classic childhood imagination and creativity (qualities that I want to reverberate through all of my work).

The Flash site combines the branding style with a simple layout to present samples of identity, print and web design. Splash pages were used to introduce the website as well as offer a meaningful "literary" element.
