Hand Drawn World Cups

So England weren’t much cop, but during the World Cup I’ve been taking pictures of hand drawn World Cups used to advertise matches being seen in pubs. Enjoy…

Free Kick Frenzy…

To celebrate the World Cup and promote ITV Sport’s online and on-air coverage I produced this football game in June 2010…

Clive Tyldesley is your host as you try to master the dark art of taking a free kick and beat the World.

The aim was to make the web’s best free kick game, challenge players to ‘Bend It Better Than Beckham’ and then let them easily shout about scores across Facebook and Twitter. You can also challenge your pals to beat your score with Facebook Connect…

Game geniuses Playerthree played a blinder and built an awesome game that is pretty simple to play, kind of hard to master and has a bit of a cheeky underbelly. At the end of the day

I don’t care that they’re the equivalent of Barbie trainers for adults. I got a pair of adidas skywalkers and the force is strong in them…

Ant & Dec’s Push the Button online game

Here’s a game I produced for the launch of Ant & Dec’s Push The Button on ITV1 in February 2010.
The game was developed to tease what was coming up in the brand new show via a whole host of simple to play mini-games. The game was also designed to bring Ant & Dec closer to their audience, but using Facebook Connect in certain mini games. These mini games required you to spot your Facebook friends in a crowd and others asked you organise your friends by age/sex etc…

Working closely with the boys’ people and their production team, it was decided it would best to create animated versions of Ant & Dec that would host the game and encourage and entertain players of the game.

The game was also ITV.com’s first use of Facebook Connect on site…

The illustrations and animation of the boys was done by the brilliant Ben Mounsey, check out the rest of his work on www.greenglasses.co.uk.

Design and build of the game was done by Ralph

Also below follow the link to play the game, you can see how the game compared to my original sketches and the final designs…

Star Wars x Adidas Promo

They’re the equivalent of the Barbie trainers you used to get in Woolies, but I really want a couple of pairs…

New shoes!

Adidas Superstar 80s, originally uploaded by markhassize11feet.

When I first did a website I put up loads of pictures of trainers that I’d bought. In those days I bought all sorts, so it was a touch interesting. Nowadays chances are all I ever buy are Adidas Superstars – in a white variant (much to the annoyance of my girlfriend), guess that’s what happens when you grow up a bit… Anyways I bought these the other day in a sale, love them and took these pictures whilst I was waiting for the scotchguard to dry! Nice 80s shape Adidas Superstar, not chunky, just right… Anyways I guess this post is a throwback to a simpler time of html, frontpage, lycos hosting…

Facebook photo upload app made with Do Tank Studios to help promote series three of Benidorm on ITV1 in September 2009. Users can Madge-ify their favourite Facebook photos and give themselves (and their friends) a Madge-like orangey wrinkly tan. Not only can you pose with Madge, but also all your other favourite Benidorm characters. A big help in giving yourself a tan in these credit crunching non-holiday taking times… Also my first project for ITV.com…
