Side Project: Locrafts – Generating a buzz for local creativities

Locrafts is all about generating a buzz for local creativities using machine learning. It finds  local gift makers and designers situated in the United Kingdom. Everything is pulled together, analysed and displayed in a single portal/website where the designers and their gifts are then displayed. The results can be filtered by the colours of the gift products and the location of the designers.

There are many factors behind Locrafts decision making process. Some of these include, analysing what you post on your website and what you share on your social media accounts (if api’s are permitted). Other factors are hidden for obvious reasons but the algorithm takes into account a lot of factors; it may decide against displaying some authors and their gifts on the platform. Therefore some of the gifts discovered may never reach the website in its attempt to reduce any spam gifts that  could be posted and shared on the platform.

The system is built using cutting edge technologies: AWS is used for hosting the machine learning models, React is used for the front end interface and NodeJS  is used for the backend api configuration.

More updates to come soon!

Testimonials

Dean recently created an excellent animated logo for my website, Bude & Beyond (www.budeandbeyond.co.uk). What I never realised at the outset was how much time, effort, discussion, creativity and dedication goes into producing a logo. After an initial discussion, Dean created many versions, in different colour schemes and formats, which he also animated. He sought appropriate feedback and went the extra mile to ensure that the colours and design were absolutely spot on. I was very impressed at his determination to get it right and to re-create and adapt until both he and I were both very happy with the final result.

So, I’d say Dean’s major strength is communication. I’m not IT-focused, but I appreciate a good-looking website/logo, so it really helps that he is able to discuss ideas in a friendly and accessible way, without over-use of jargon. He explains things well, and will interpret ideas in a client-focused way. He is extremely responsive, so wait times are very short. He listens to his client and creates ideas based on what he hears/understands. He checks all along the way (wording, colours, images, positioning) and will ask: what if we try this? He is also very open to constructive comments. Therefore, he provides plenty of guided choice.

I’m rather proud to now have a Dean Wronowski animated logo already in use on my social media and ready for my website (currently undergoing a major revamp). Dean’s designs are his trademark. Fresh, colourful and lively, they always try to encompass the nature of the product he is working with.

He is a remarkable talent which Bude is fortunate to have
