New online Ian Fleming interactive encyclopedia in the pipeline

24-Jun-2005 • Literary

Dug Falby has spent two years developing assets and strategies for Glidrose Publications Limited, the owners of the James Bond intellectual property. One of Dugâs favourite projects is the Ian Fleming Encyclopedia.

The site contains every word written by Ian Fleming, organised in a flexible, resilient and easy-to-use database. Designed for academics as well as amateurs, the search-and-comparison facilities will be cross-referenced with relevant course data provided by rss feed from university publishing resources.

While Dug produced mock-ups of search-and-compare web pages to add the film resources of Danjaq, LLC. and MGM to the site, the IP owners are still in legal consultation and this element of the project is temporarily on hold.

Dug (blog link) designed the front end as part of the overhaul of the whole Glidrose/Fleming/Bond identity review 22 sept 2004â"My flat files are heaving with great stuff and succesfully manages to walk the tightrope strung between Ian Flemingâs credibility as a serious writer and James Bondâs global action-hero persona."

The site is still being populated by the Glidrose editorial team.

Thanks to `Barracuda` for the alert.
