Specialty: Photography & Graphic Design
| Graphics: I have been doing graphics since (2002). I started my graphics when I was learning web design, but I enjoyed designing graphics a lot more than web design. So I went on to establish graphics up from scratch, I started to learn techniques from tutorials on the Internet. And inspiration from other artists work. I’ve created a lot of graphics over the years, and they’ve came in handy for a lot of my artwork. Without my knowledge of graphic design, my work wouldn’t have an impact like it has today. A lot of my artwork has been appreciated by audiences. Photography: All my life I’ve been appreciator of photography. I started my photography round about the year (2005). But I started to take my photography professional from the start of (2007). At the end of (2007). I bought myself a decent SLR camera, so that I could improve the quality of my photos. I started appreciate my photography work more and more, and learned a lot techniques by self discipline. I started photography off at an early age, with simple film & digital cameras. My work would have started taking photographs of people and portraits. As that’s what I originally used cameras for, to bring back memory’s. I slowly reached a point in time were I started to appreciate the wonderful surroundings of nature. So I then went on to take landscape photos. Between the year (2007-2008) I explored lots of styles of photography such as animals, architecture, landscaping, sky, water, places, people, portraits and more. Web Design: My work in web design came around about the year (2001), when I started to be a regular user of the Internet. Using the internet often I always wondered how a website was created, so that’s where my journey began. I actually started by using a flash web interface were users could create a simple flash website on-line. This was standard to set up on the Internet. It was very basic tool and very limited, I questioned myself and thought how do big companies & websites do theirs? I met a really good friend in my high school, and he was into very similar things as me. And he had a better knowledge of web design; so a lot of basic help came from him. I then found out that graphic design was involved in web design and to make a good successful website, it came down from your own personal ideas and graphics. So a year or two went by, and I concentrated on graphic design to boost my skills up for web design. Learning from different resources, tutorials and inspiration from friends and other artists. As I was glued into graphics, I lacked skills on the coding aspect of web design. I enjoyed designing web sites more than coding them. So my graphics went into a lot of other areas of design. I leaned towards expanding my graphics. Creating designs such as wallpapers, logos, splashes, advertising etc. Since (2005) I’ve tried to pick a lot of skills up in the art world, covering from 3D rendering, graphics effects, photography, flash, logo design, wallpaper design and much more. Although now-a-days I don’t have as much to learn, so I can focus on different projects in hand. I keep my skills up to date, and work on new techniques which I can benefit from in the future. But from the end of (2007) I’ve got back on track with some web designing. You might notice a gap in between the quantity of my web interfaces, by that I mean they start off very simple and basi. Then theres a gap of the quality of my web design improving. Lastly My most recent ones are very professional. It seemed to have happened in an instantly. This was due to my expanding in graphic design, and I lost interest in web design. But my skills in graphics improved the quality of my web design, hence the gap. Anyway you will be glad to hear that I do client web design and have made some money from my designs. |
