As my app store app will not be available any longer, I decided to develop an online version of the game. It is accessible here.

The questions are stored in a mySQL database. A javascript then requests the questions via a php script.

Nothing too hard, but I didn’t know how to do it… until I did it.

Windpferd-Reitsport

Simon — Sun, 12 Feb 2017 22:33:18 +0000

This project comprises the design of a logo and a website for a German retail store specialised in horse riding equipment.

Logo

I designed this logo based on some inspirational pictures compiled by the client. Windpferd is German for wind horse. The wind horse stems from shamanistic traditions, where it is an allegory for the human soul. The logo was set out to capture this tradition and philosophy, while also being modern and appealing to customers.

Website

The Website is based on Wordpress. It contains a general information, the philosophy, an overview of the available brands, contact form etc.

Please find the website here.

umnandi is a nonprofit organisation that sets out to Empower African Entrepreneurs. I co-founded the organisation in late 2016. Besides developing workshop concepts, applying for funding, establishing partnerships etc., I took the initiative to design the logo and website.

Parkour Charity

Simon — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 16:45:04 +0000

The Alpin Charity project, which we labeled under the slogan Parkour Parents go Alpin, developed from an idea of a couple who had their children attend our Parkour Training on a regular base. They liked the Parkour project so much, that they decided to conduct fundraising around them crossing the alps. We were involved in the project and I helped set up an account on a fundraising platform. I also created the website, which contains a blog that they filled with content during their preparations and every evening during their journey.

We managed to get the story into several local newspapers and got quite some attention. However, the funds we raised were quite little. In hindsight, we made several mistakes. The two major ones:

The cause for which the donations should be utilised was not clearly stated. We basically said something like “supporting and upholding our training of some sort and building new obstacles for our training”. If we had a more specific project, that might have made more graspable.
The payment methods we offered were too limited. We did not allow for Stripe (due to miscommunication reasons and since it was not clearly enough for us on the crowdfunding website…). So people were initially only allowed to use Visa, which is not that common in German and was potentially rejected by quite some potential sponsors.

So my next crowdfunding project can build on these learnings.

As the project ended, www.parkour-charity.de is now forwarded to parkour project website, where the blog is embedded.
