OxCreative
2010
For the past 18 months i’ve worked for a leading global cosmetics company as a web designer which means that freelancing and working on projects such as OxCreative.com have always played second fiddle.
It’s been a difficult 18months and I have struggled to adapt with the corporate lifestyle (after previously working in a very casual environment) finding it very restrictive and suffocating and as a result my mood, lifestyle and skillet have suffered.
After a lot of thought and financial calculations I have decided to take the plunge into the big bad world of freelancing! It’s something I have wanted to do for a while and believe it is the best move (more…)

Here at OxCreative, not only do we like art, illustration, urban vinyl and graffiti, but we also take a bit of a fancy to web design! We also like to promote beautiful design and today is no exception!
I am constantly surfing online and it would seem a lot of designers’ websites/agency websites are stale and boring – using the same ol’ colours, the same ol’ way – with the same “look at our bizarre layout… we’re quirky” designs.
Some of these “fantastic” agency’s websites are so similar you’d struggle to pick them out of a line-up.
However, whilst surfing the web I found an article on amending CSS for the iPhone on a website called www.squaregirl.com. It’s the first time in a while where I have been taken back by a website design, that in my eyes, is near flawless.
This is a good use of colours, gradients, textures and layout with a methodical approach to usability.
