Music are a very cool design agency in Manchester who do a lot of the ace Man City stuff you see knocking around. They recently got me involved in a website project for MCFC to map the fans around the world. The site went live last week and has already knocked up over 5000 registrations.
Matt at Music explains the site (much better than me) in The Drum.
Big thanks to Sébastien Gruhier at Maptimize for providing such a brilliant mapping engine.
Natalie B
25/07/10
Natalie B could be confused for a Spice Girl (well by Adam Rix anyway) but as far as I know she isn’t one, Natalie is a very nice lady who happens to have a very nice voice… which if you watch TV you have probably heard at some point.
Anyway fresh designed Natalie a lovely little site and asked me to build it, so I did:

Just completed a collaboration with Various Artists and photographer Tom Van Shelven for 24 Lever Street.
As well as the website look out for a paper in bars, cafes etc in the Northern Quarter Manchester.
I’ve moved (again)

I recently moved into great little space at 22 Lever Street, Manchester. If your passing please do pop in and say hello.

Big Chips

Well unfortunately I never got to wear my chicken costume at this years Big Chips as The Tasty Award went to Cahoona for the ace Band on the Wall website, nice one Cahoona.
All was not lost though I did pick up two awards – Best Use of Visual Design for Adamrix.com and Best Freelancer/Micro Enterprise .
Thank you Big Chips judges.
Netmums
20/06/10
Netmums.com is a mega popular community website for mums (and dads), as well as offering lots of local information, it does amazing work ensuring every parent has access to free personal help.
I’m really pleased to have been chosen to help the Netmums team give the site an updated look and feel. The new homepage went live recently, over the next 6 months updates all across the site will be launched.
Its pretty cool how the Netmums team work together, they don’t have an office, everyone works remotely from across the UK using tools like Skype, Basecamp and it works a treat.
Si Scott
18/05/10
I recently teamed up with designer Stu Preece to build illustrator Si Scott a new website. Si’s work is pretty special, when I sent Stu an email about the job his exact response was:
“F*!K ME HE’S AMAZING! ”
But obviously without the *!… if you have ever met Stu Preece he doesn’t use the word F*!K often, in-fact I don’t think I have ever heard him swear… anyway.
Vote Blah Blah
10/05/10
adamrix.com has been nominated for a Big Chip Tasty Award, which is nice. To win it I need votes, but to be honest it feels a bit crap asking people to vote for me.
After dwelling on the issue… can you please VOTE FOR ME! All you need to do is:
Text DIGITAL to 80915
If I win it (which is unlikely) I’ll spend the rest of the evening dressed as a chicken.
Computer Arts Projects
27/04/10
I recently wrote a tutorial for Computer Arts Projects which is out now (issue 136) on how to make an iPhone friendly portfolio site using jQTouch. The issue is all about building your portfolio site and fellow baldy Matt Booth shows how Flash and Flickr can be used.
It was really good fun to do, possibly not used that writing part of my brain since leaving school.

RopeWalks Liverpool
19/04/10
I am very pleased to have been chosen by Uniform to create a new website for RopeWalks – a regenerated area of Liverpool city centre.
The website, which will fully go live “within the next couple of months”, will be used to promote the area and its activities to visitors and provide an online hub for residents, businesses and the RopeWalks community.

I’ve moved!
08/02/10
Really chuffed to have recently moved into a great little studio space in the Northern Quarter Manchester. Back to Friday drinks in Common, curry at This and That and needless trips to the Apple Store.
So if you’re in Manchester, ideally need a website and have some biscuits, why not pop in for a brew.
These are ace!

I’m loving Adam Rix’s business cards.
Each one is completely individual… you could get a naked lady, you could get a horse… I got a clown, I wanted the naked lady.
fresh
04/11/09
Had a lot of fun building fresh a new website:
If I was going to work full time for someone again, I would love it to be someone like fresh – lovely talented people, ace offices, great work and complimentary snacks on tap. Luckily for fresh (and the snack supply) I’m sticking to freelancing for the time being.
Lovely- Mill Co Mill Co
27/10/09
Brand spanking new creative agency Mill Co recently asked me to build them a website, so I did - www.millco.uk
The ident and website design was done by Adam Rix.
Mill Co are a slightly different (interesting) take on your usual agency, Creative Times recently did a nice article which explains all.
Best of luck Mill Co, and hopefully Digital Blah Blah will be doing some more work for you really soon.
