Well, to put it simply, I have a lot to offer. Please read on, if you have a project in mind for a creative professional and like a quote, I would be happy to do so.
Web Design
Interface design is definitely my forte, producing interfaces from scratch with Web 2.0 style and theory. From corporate Customer Relationship Management Interface’s to hobby business blog’s, I pride myself on being able to design for any entity.
Interface design refers to the graphical mark up of requirements from a creative brief. A website is primarily about communication, it is my job to find the optimum way of getting that communication to its market by designing on screen visual components.
Websitetemplaters.com is site I use to drive sales of web templates I have created, I also offer custom services to those who require a more personalized design of which I am negotiable. Most of my work comes from people wanting that little bit extra and I love to fulfill their vision.
Web Development
In recent times I have had quite a few ‘DIY’ clients that just want me to set them up with coded templates and install it on to one of the many Content Management Systems out there. Whereby they have the ability to publish and upload their own content often coming back to me for upgrades. Development is something I can definitely I offer, whether it be a personalized Wordpress theme or Joomla Skin I have come across most of them out there.
Having worked in this industry a while now I am able to find the right person for the job if I cannot customize something myself. Cutting up design templates into XHTML/CSS is something I have become very proficient at, validating my work using W3C is standard protocol for all coded templates I produce. Search Engine Optimization using white hat methods is also a service I like to offer my clients during the coding process as it can benefit greatly towards a website being found on the internet.
Multimedia
Though I have studied 3D and know my way around Lightwave software, when it comes to multimedia I am best known for my work with flash.
Flash banners have always been popular as they are a way of getting people to notice what you have to offer and a cost effective marketing tool.
Even though current trends have come back around to more HTML/PHP websites being produced, Flash is still harnessed for a certain types of sites. With a mixture of PHP and XML flash sites can dynamically driven in sync with a database to great effect, please see this at work in Patti Haaks Flash based e-commerce photo gallery.
Branding and Identity
A business logo should an accurate image of your products and services. Knowing the importance of branding in the marketplace is paramount to your business’s success.
The art of branding is having an audience instantly identify what it is that a business does and how it does it, as a businesses branding is often the first point of contact they will have.
I can offer an array of different marketing solutions from sole logos to a full branding strategy and stationary suite including business cards, letterheads, fax sheets, CD labels etc. Please contact me with your requirements and check out some recent work I did for LCB media.
Graphic Design for Print
The work that I have produced in this field to date include: Posters, Flyers, Stickers and Business Documents such as Information Memorandums and print media advertisements. Graphic Design for Print is a fairly new acquisition to my list of skills, however I do find that working as a creative day to day exposes me to more and more dealings with the printers.
Having studied design I have a good grasp on theory and have sort after the technical know how to set up for print. In my spare time doing the reading and taking tutorials for Illustrator, Indesign and Quark. Now with a few projects under my belt I am comfortable in the print environment and am seeking more experience.
