Bradley and Jonina Skaggs have been great friends of mine for many, many years, and their fab design team did a terrific job with my unruly mound of scrappy sheets and jumbly words… Follow this link to Skaggs Design to see their blog post, and click on in my site to see some of the process and some rather appealing pictures of Bradley and Jonina! Here’s my site showcased on the Skaggs Design main site - check out their other fantastic work! Thanks again to Elspeth, Robbie, Jonina and Bradley… 2009-09-28T19:01:38+00:00 http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/big_brother_online/ http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/big_brother_online/#When:23:38:25Z I’m just starting to fill up the ‘Brands’ section of my site and I uncovered some of my design process for Endemol and EA’s collaboration on ‘Virtual Me’. Its a concept for a social gaming site for Big Brother. Pretty topical seeing as Jordan just won the latest US Big Brother - yeah! 2009-09-24T23:38:25+00:00 http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/hardy_boys_review/ http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/hardy_boys_review/#When:17:29:26Z NDS Review - ‘The Hardy Boys: Treasure on the Tracks’ by Rainier on Sept. 18, 2009 @ 5:03 a.m. PDT Hop aboard the Royal Express as the Hardy Boys take a journey to the past on a classic steam train through some of the great capital cities of Europe in the hope of discovering the secret of a lost princess and a priceless treasure hidden from the world for nearly 100 years. - Here’s a review from WorthPlaying.com, 8/10 - I’ll take it! Here’s a quote I just found from the GameZone Review The game is well-designed and engaging, and it is obvious that much care has been taken with the details of the game. The graphics do an outstanding job of conveying the historical era of the European continent in the early 20th century, and the large amount of historical data in the form of newspapers and other items adds to the effect. The puzzles are interesting and varied, and they are logically integrated in the story.

The video for ‘It’s My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry,’ a power ballad off the band’s excellent self-titled debut, finds Allan in a studio, attempting to be interviewed, though he’s a bit too torn over wronging a lovely young lady we see in home video footage. Check out the exclusive video premiere after the jump and see if you can’t help but feel bad for the poor guy who gets his broadcast ruined. 2009-09-15T18:03:18+00:00 http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/the_fruit_guys/ http://skaggsdev.com/phil/index.php/blog/view/the_fruit_guys/#When:00:28:03Z Here’s a concept sketch of the mural/banner design I did for The Fruit Guys - you cannot BEAT having a crate of fresh fruit delivered to your doorstep every week!!!!
