Hitching my skirts to jump on the iPhone app bandwagon

Yes indeedy folks!

Back in the spring I went back to my old stomping ground of Liverpool to work with a startup business helping them define their idea for an iPhone app. They knew they wanted it to be about gift giving so I was asked to work with them to establish the name, brand and creative direction.

In a series of workshops I worked on what the app should actually do, gift giving yes but how exactly, what it should feel like and what might make it different. When we cracked the idea we moved on to naming it, we decided to call it Little World Gifts as the initial idea was about gifts being from specific locations, half postcard, half souvenir and ermmm half gift (I was not asked to do any maths). Gifts would be limited and exclusively gorgeous, non of your Facebook gift tat here.
I worked up the identity and the styling for the app plus some initial ideas on the gift design for the team there.

Fronted by the lovely Miss Katie Lipps and Paul Stringer with resident wit Jonathon Deamer and Simon Cocker leading the 3-d work. Look out for their app in the store and sign up for updates at http://www.littleworldgifts.com

Here’s some pics of the work I did.
