Some of the response’s I have had since revealing my new site design has been great and really unexpected. One such unexpected response was that from Luc Arnold over at Spicy Web Designers:
I wanted to say that I really enjoyed checking out your portfolio of work. You’ve got a keen eye for design. I also wanted to ask if I could interview you for my site, SpicyWebDesigners.com? I look forward to hearing from you.
Firstly having someone email me was pretty cool, as least the contact form works, but to be interviewed was something I’d not done before, but I thought what the hell, I may as well give it a go.
Some of the questions I was asked to answer weren’t quite what I was expecting, but like I said I’ve not done this before so I’m not quite sure exactly what I was expecting.
Anyway the interviews now live so go and have a look; hopefully it’s an enjoyable read.

As Senior Designer at Bronco it’s been my job to design our personal websites. These new sites would be the third Bronco and fourth David Naylor site I’ve designed and built while working for Bronco. Usually the sites get a bit of a facelift once a year, though usually at different points of the year so it’s easier to slot them in around client work. This year they both came together, the reason being our new branding.

Many a designer has mentioned the lack of design in the Google homepage and at FOWD Tour Leeds last week it was fleetingly mentioned again. This time however it lit a spark and I thought it might be a fun experiment to see what I could do.
