New website just published, built for a client and friend, Thomas W. Hodgkinson, a freelance journalist (The Times, The Spectator, Financial Times, etc.). He needed a clean home for his archive of reviews, features and scripts, so I kept it stripped right back: lots of white space, a single serif, no clutter. The animations are very subtle and intentional too, nothing showy, just small movements that guide the eye and never pull focus from the words.
There's a little easter egg in there as well: the way his name animates in makes a quiet point of the "W.", turns out there's another journalist with the same name, and my friend is very particular about not being mixed up with him, so the middle initial had to earn its moment.
