Phillip Crous is a Cape Town based photographer with exceptional skill. His request was for a photoblog that showcased his photographs with not much need for textual content. With only a logo and colour scheme to go on I did all the design and layout myself (along with some helpful ideas from my fiancée) with some later input from Phillip to make a few changes.

Project: SARS Calculator
I recently tried to work out exactly how much I should be getting taxed and how much I will be getting taxed next year. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) doesn’t have the most helpful website and the info to help you work this out is hard to come by if you don’t really know where to look. Once I got hold of this info (from a helpful relative, not SARS itself), I decided to build a little tool to help others with the same problem that I was facing. Thus, the SARS Calculator was born.
Project: The Brothers Streep
The Brothers Streep are sweet. They are so sweet in fact, that I decided to make them a website. They were initially a small 2-piece acoustic comedy group and have since developed into a less small 5-piece acoustic comedy group. They’re a fun group of guys who make people laugh for a living and they are good at it.
Project: Monique Mouissie
Monique is a talented artist that I’ve had the pleasure of working with. She does photography (mostly wedding photography) as well as design (mostly print) and illustration. Her skills are considerable and I highly recommend browsing round the website and having a look at some of her work. You won’t regret it.
Project: Press Start
Press Start is a site for gaming nerds. I consider myself in this category even though I’ve never played World of Warcraft and I barely do any form of online gaming. The idea behind Press Start was for it to be slightly different to the other gaming sites out there in that it is uniquely South African and it tends be much more informal and “irreverent” when compared to its counterparts. When I started working on Press Start there was already an existing website in place that had a rather loose framework of its own. I had to work with this existing website and modify it to be what it is today.
