Site screenshots and on-location photography join these entries on the replacement schedule. Until then the log speaks for itself.
Every line, opened in full.
The register records five identity choices per site. A new design that matches any line on two of them goes back to the board. Here is each entry.
The palette was not chosen. It was photographed.

The Neighbourhood, Penryn
A neighbourhood bar and kitchen whose old site undersold the room. The brief was simple: make the website feel like being there.
The direction came off the room itself. Cream walls, brick, natural timber, photographed and turned into the palette. High-contrast serif over full-height interior photography, with soft reveals that carry you through the space.
Built to win bookings, and it reads like the room does. No template could have produced it, and the register means nothing I build next can resemble it.

cmxwd.com, version three
Our own last site, logged and checked exactly like a client's. Dark drawing-sheet editorial with a cyan path that drew itself down the page. This site you are reading had to clear it: compare the two and count the shared choices.
