Creative Lead
Pencil Rebel -> rebranded to Model No.:1
(Online Media industry)
December 2006 — August 2008 (1 year 9 months)
The PencilRebel concept is a unique and refreshing one, taking everyday 'analogue' items and putting them into a digital world.
The end result is a creative, mixed-media website with a unique, striking and playful style. For the end user it offers a thrilling website experience, comprising animation and at times challenging the visitor with puzzles. Overall, I feel this is far more interactive than many sites which simply involve clicking few menu buttons. -
