Hello!

I'm Edward Townend. I'm Graphic and Web Designer, Photographer and (improving) Web Developer based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, UK. I run the design agency Townend Creative LimitedThis is my blog, and I'll be keeping it updated with articles of interest to the graphic design and photography community, as well as any updates that happen in my World.

I’m Listening To:

In order to meet increasing performance demands we are in the process of moving teamtownend.com to a VPS server package. This should result in faster page load times for you, and for my clients. Hopefully the move should be completed with zero downtime thanks to this method of moving hosting.

It is with great pleasure that Ed Townend Does Design can announce his partnership with Kiriix Limited. This alliance means that Kiriix benefits from the design expertise of Ed Townend Does Design! in its eCommerce ventures, from graphical elements to colour schemes to CSS.

Kiriix is a UK web host based in Thurnscoe, Rotherham, whose selling point is highly personable and knowledgeable support. Kiriix also has several endeavours in eCommerce, including Lightfoot Wines and Subcool Gadgets (currently under development). Ed Townend Does Design! is proud to be associated with such a strong brand.

This is a work in progress so you won’t see any results quite yet, but keep an eye on those eCommerce projects!

Don’t think this means Ed Townend Does Design! is too busy to work on your project though. Please contact me to discuss your requirements for graphic or web design.

Just a note to say that I’ve just registered http://www.teamtownend.co.uk so you can now access this site at either the .com or .co.uk. Email also reaches me at either suffix now.

Repeatedly setting DNS servers is boring.

I thought I might as well at the very least reserve my name on Twitter, so today I went ahead and signed up. You can find me at www.twitter.com/edwardtownend. I think we’ll have a weekly digest of tweets on here to summarise what’s been going on (if I actually remember to tweet.)

Edward Townend's Portfolio

Couldn’t help thinking my portfolio is a bit hard to find on this new blog, so I decided I needed a post to highlight it. You can see a selection work I did in my Graphic Design course at College and in my Freelance career so far at www.teamtownend.com/portfolio

So today you’ll notice teamtownend.com has a new homepage. As you can see, it features my blog entries front and foremost, so it’ll give you a lot more reason to return regularly! I’m still tinkering with the style so don’t get too settled yet, I think those big green stripes above need some work.

For those of you who never saw the old site, I moved the homepage to a subdirectory so you can see how it evolved!

For now I’m sticking with the old portfolio layout which you can see here, since I spent a whole day just last week squashing a little javascript bug in the popups, but eventually I may think about integrating it into this site.
