Design has always been my main interest, whether it is drawing or computer generated. I find that I enjoy doing computer generated designs quite a lot and coupled with my strong drawing skills, my designs can really be brought to life by digitally enhancing my work. I feel that digital imagery can be very sharp, colourful and very accurately designed. I am a bit of a perfectionist, so the accuracy of using computers to edit my designs can be very useful.
I am interested in studying graphic design because I enjoy it and I would like to increase my skills some more. My skill and experience has consistently increased in the past 3 years and I would love to get even better. Making me capable of producing designs for anything at industry standard, whether it be for magazines, logos, leaflets, posters, animations or for clothing.
The work on this blog has been produced with a variety of programs such as Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash and QuarkXpress.
If anymore examples of my work/development are required, just let me know.
Thanks

Wolverhampton Poster project
I had to design a poster showing wolverhampton as I see it through my eyes.
The Perfect Human - Design Project
For this project I had to create a design that would show people what I think the perfect human is, so It could have been in the form of a poster, leaflet, booklet etc. I chose the format of a leaflet. The design of my leaflet was only focused on the layout of images, text and headings. I concentrated on making the design blanced with a 50/50 percentage of image/text. I used QuarkXPress and Photoshop to create the leaflet.

ITV2 Ident Animation
*Watch in 720p and in fullscreen if possible.
This animation was created for a project that required me to produce an Ident for ITV2. The project required me to base the design around the life of an average 21 year old in the uk.
I created each frame individually with Photoshop and then used Macromedia Flash to put the frames together into a flash file. I also created an '.AVI' version with a video processing program called Virtualdub and I interpolated the video to make the playback smoother.
