Darren Styles

July 14th, 2011

Darren Styles was one of our earlier clients who basically gave us complete creative reign over his new website.  The concept was literally just to be the most vivid, eye-catching and both visually and audibly superior site for any DJ/Producer in the Hardcore scene.  Darren is a trend-setter, a natural born leader and he needed his site to set that tone as well.  With that in mind, we set out an intricate design spec where we consulted with Darren on a daily basis to get the web plan up to scratch.  Each page was crafted from the bottom up, with it’s own separate identity, whether that be the “Daily Styles” mock newspaper section, or the “Styles Street” section with different doors for each linked site.  The finished project consisted of the following pages and themes:

  • Home (with tape player for samples of new tracks fresh from the studio)
  • News (The Daily Styles Newspaper)
  • Links (Styles Street)
  • Gallery (Desk of manoeuvrable Polaroids)
  • Contact (Address Book)
  • Biog (School Exam Table)
  • Downloads (Museum Viewing Gallery)
  • Music (Speaker/PA System)
  • Videos (Retro TV and VHS Player)
  • Discog (Golden Record Plaque)
  • FAQs (Heat Magazine)
Each section’s identity was not only visual, but audible with specially crafted excerpts of spoken vocals, sound FX and background scenes to really give the viewer an all-round experience.  Since it’s inception in 2009, Filthy & Famous have taken on all the updates and maintenance of the site for Darren up until the present, as well as designing accompanying artwork for both his Facebook, Myspace and Junkbox record label.
