To go with the Flash ads that were created, we designed a landing page to direct prospective students through to the course they were interested in.

I worked with Morrison Bowmore to create a Flash feature on the website, to show the unique triple distillation process. The feature involves some nice 3D &amp; 2D touches and clearly illustrates the age old whisky distillation process in a digital format. The Flash feature can be viewed online at the <a href="http://www.rickystevens.com/thedigitalshed/auchentoshan/triple/">Digital Shed website here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2603029668420835672-2737494197415536228?l=www.rickystevens.com'/></div>Ricky Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06627268646570051965designer.ricky@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603029668420835672.post-50359879949036323842008-05-09T08:53:00.004+01:002008-05-09T09:07:47.326+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.rickystevens.com/uploaded_images/fiorentina_v_rangers-700292.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.rickystevens.com/uploaded_images/fiorentina_v_rangers-700252.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />So it's Rangers v Zenit St Petersburg in the Uefa Cup final on May 14 2008 in Manchester!! 10 man Rangers have managed to plough through to the finals after a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over Fiorentina, with Nacho Novo firing in the winning penalty after Vieri drove his kick over the bar.

A great performance in Portugal last night sees Rangers through to the semi finals of the UEFA Cup for the first time in 36 years! Rangers won 2-0 on the night with great goals from Jean-Claude Darcheville and Steven Whittaker. Here's hoping the Teddy Bears can pull it off against the mighty Fiorentina at Ibrox on 24th!!!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2603029668420835672-2514227938326701055?l=www.rickystevens.com'/></div>Ricky Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06627268646570051965designer.ricky@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603029668420835672.post-58410083751377209552008-03-14T09:37:00.003Z2008-03-14T09:54:10.740Z<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.rickystevens.com/uploaded_images/mcgregor_hero-717961.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.rickystevens.com/uploaded_images/mcgregor_hero-717927.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Thanks to a heroic performance from <span class="imgCaption">Allan McGregor, Rangers go through to the last 8 of the UEFA Cup, despite losing 1-0 to </span>Werder Bremen in Germany. The 2-o Ibrox win has been enough to see them progress. It's been a while since I last updated my blog as I've been working hard setting up my new company over the last 5 months. Speaking of which, the official launch of <a href="http://www.thedigitalshed.com">Digital Shed</a> will be later in 2008, but for the moment I'm designing around the clock and enjoying the mighty Gers toppling one of the favourites to win this competition! :)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2603029668420835672-5841008375137720955?l=www.rickystevens.com'/></div>Ricky Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06627268646570051965designer.ricky@gmail.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603029668420835672.post-5658251762012983092007-10-24T16:05:00.000+01:002007-10-24T16:09:40.929+01:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.rickystevens.com/uploaded_images/scotland_fifa_world_rankings-791920.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />After huge wins against France and Ukraine in the European Qualifiers, Scotland go to 13th in the <a href="http://www.fifa.com/worldfootball/ranking/lastranking/gender=m/fullranking.html">FIFA world rankings</a>.
