Employment History
(Feb 2007 & ongoing)
Head Flash designer/animator
DerbyshireThis job has included graphic design, vector and freehand drawing and logo design as well as animation. I was first employed in February to create a series of e-learning animations for students at the University of Manchester on a course run by the NHS on screening newborn babies for hearing difficulties. Since then I have done a wide range of work from small decorative pieces to fully functional animated menus, animated advertising slogans and much more. I designed and built my own site in Flash and put it online in collaboration with Blue Streak.
I am still working for Blue Streak Design but I am keen to find supplementary work.
(Jan 2007 to Mar 2007)
Letterer
RemoteI provided lettering (ie speech balloons and text) for a graphic novel biography of the Sex Pistols.
(Mar 2006 to Apr 2006)
Colourist
I was required to add colour to digital artwork using Corel Painter. This was my first experience of using a graphics tablet. I was working on one of their semi-educational history books "Julius Caesar". I was not credited for the work.
(May 1997 to Jun 1997)
Illustrator and colourist
Hodder and Stoughton PublishersThis was my first experience working in this field. My father was working for Hodder and Stoughton at the time and I assisted him in creating small pieces of vector artwork and colouring, all done in Illustrator. At this point I did not have access to a graphics tablet so it all had to be done using a mouse, which took a steady hand and a lot of co-ordination. Despite my young age at the time the work was of high quality and was accepted by the publisher.
