Falqai produces stunning aerial videography from a remote controlled helicopter. The perfect way to show off this technology is with a full screen video website which I made in WordPress.
I designed the logo and came up with the brand name which is a play on the term “Eagle’s Eye”, replacing the eagle with the UAE’s beloved falcon.

BSDG stands for Building Services Design Group – a fairly straight-forward name. So the idea here was to create a logo that is solid, contemporary, and corporate – keeping it within the landscape of the building industry while also standing out with something fresh. The angular shapes give it a modern and architectural feel while the colours reflect building and sky. Website coming soon.

Sprite Middle East launched a campaign early 2012 called “Min al Akhir” – inotherwords – Be yourself, tell the truth. Focused around a group of Saudi comedians, this website served as the centerpiece of the campaign, where people can come and watch the latest comedy videos and express their views freely. They wanted a youthful, cutting edge design and this is what they got.

This is a personal project. There’s many documentary websites out there but I wanted to make one a little nicer and a little more convenient to use. It’s also a responsive website, meaning it is nicely viewed on different screens. The name came to me in about 3 seconds: a website chockacblock full of documentaries?..

“Individualitea” was a concept we devised at Memac Ogilvy Dubai. The idea was that everybody makes their tea uniquely, some like it strong, some like it sweet, with lemon or whatever. People would be able to use Facebook to share and discuss tea making tips within select communities.

Savola’s old Intranet design was horrible to say the least. They needed a fresh and modern design to get their people interested in it again. A very angular design was used to achieve this, because I like angular designs. Unfortunately, because it is an intranet design you are not able to experience it in all it’s glory, so these JPGs will have to suffice.

IBM wanted to make a game to help people understand their LTO thinga-ma-jiggy. It’s a storage capture device designed to help you “never lose data again”. So the creative department at Ogilvy One rigged up this game idea, I designed it and the developers developed it. Never really caught on though…

Logo design and web design. I wanted to give the effect of “bigness” in the logo design, so I chose a nice and clean heavy typeface to achieve this, as well as having the “B” being too big for its blue container. It’s always a challenge in web design having to fit so much content on to a single page whilst still maintaining cleanliness and making it easy on the eye.

When you’re working with brand consultants, the design should stick tightly to their brand! The blueish / tealy colour gives a nice highlight against the greys and blacks – and because the logo itself is very bold, this gave way for other areas of the design to be big and bold as well. By the use of an untra bold tagline at the very outset, it leaves little to the imagination about what these guys actually do! Design no longer live.

As part of Fanta’s worldwide Chase campaign, OgilvyOne Dubai created this entertaining Facebook Flash game for teens to compete to win an iPad 2. The idea had to refelect both ‘fun’ and a ‘chase’.

The banner worked kind of like a poker slot machine. Different people from around the world were cut up into sections and the different parts rotated so we get a mish-mash of global personalities.

This is a unique idea I had: to make the world’s tallest website! While it may not be actually correct, the idea was sound so I went ahead and designed and coded this demo site where you start at the bottom of the Burj and have to climb to the top (the Burj silhouette is on the right of the screen). Innovative for the time. Check out the demo by clicking the arrow below.

So, I was lucky enough to have been the designer for the official Indian Premier League Website in 2008. With so much content to display, the challenge was to not over-burden the user.
