Sand & Mercury

Hi! My name is Ian McLean. I make things.

WOOOO!

I'm a young, capable and enthusiastic web designer from Australia. I create websites, logos, branding, cover artwork, signs, graphics and more.

I could bombard you with pages of rhetoric about my mission for good design, pushing boundaries, and pushing the strengths of free and open source software, but when it comes down to it, I just like designing things. Sometimes I even like to think I'm pretty good at it. :) When I make things, I strive to make them look good, work well, be available to everyone, and say what they should say, with character, flair and confidence.

If you have a vision for a website, or an identity for your business, band or product, I might just be the one to make it real for you.

So since you're here, please do enjoy your look around and feel quite free to touch the exhibits.

So, what is Sand & Mercury?

This site serves as a portfolio of some of my works spanning from 2005 to the present day; everything you see here has been made solely by me, except where otherwise noted.
