GameWitch Studio's Official WebSite

GameWitch Studio's WebSite - Homepage

After the Game WitchCraft: Alchemy finished, I designed this website for GameWitch Studio.

Registered Users can enjoy the two flash card games (WitchCraft: Alchemy and WitchCraft: Necromancy) and upload their scores. We have an Honor Ranking System, listing the highest 20 scores in each game, and every month the top 3 will get some gifts (cheap gifts, like badges I made myself).

The theme of this site is as usual as the style of GameWitch's games - Dark, arcane and myth. I love its Nav bar! But since I came to Beijing, it's not available now:(

Killertoy's Website

Another reminiscent stuff.

I run a Fashion Design Project named Killertoy in 2005. The style is like street, graffiti, hip-hop and fasion. And I associated with some hip-hop guys (like streetballars and dancers and MCs and DJs) then created an un-registered organization called "W-Unite" (Wuhan Union). I designed some cool stuff and made them out, like tees, dog-tags, stickers, badges and caps, I found some factories and talked about the costs, then made a price for each production. We were all very happy at that time, dude.

But then I came to Beijing, for my new job. So this project was laid aside for a long, long time. And I think maybe it'll be laid forever:-(

Rococo Band

illustration of Rococo - by Mess

Rococo was a pop-punk/indie-rock band which found in 2004 and disbanded in 2006.

These girls (Piggy/Vocal, Layla/Guitar, Mavis/Bass and Snow/Drums.) did great things. They held hundreds of gigs around China, released a 4-songs-Demo, a 5-songs-EP, a Full-CD-Album (Rococo), and a Music Video (We Just Free). The band was interviewed by XMUSIC Magazine and Rolling Stone Magazine.

The girls of Rococo was trying to make their music more powerful and more stands out, and I think they made it successfully. My friend, Tom Lau was their producer.

Rococo's website was designed by me, but since their unfortunate disbandment, the website is no longer available:(

Here's some screenshots of the website:
