Placements

May 31st, 2007

So now I’m in an odd situation now where I await the response of two companies following a morning with the people behind tellonline.com, and still no sound from Company of Designers (so I’m not feeling especially hopeful there). The latter gave me the impression that they were looking more for someone to fill a fulltime position rather than a placement student, and will probably want to hold on in the hope that they find someone more appropriate.

Tell Systems on the other hand were looking specifically for a student, and I feel that I might be better suited for the skills that they are looking for anyway. Despite the fact that I think I may have seemed a bit bewildered by it all on the morning, I really do hope that I get this position.

The final hurdle of the month is this afternoon at three, when I take my driving theory test. Interestingly, it is today that my hazard perception disk tells me its run out of clips.

Green

May 27th, 2007

It has to be said, that the colour green is my favourite. It tends to feature predominantly in a lot of my work, and my new website design is not an exception to this.

To take my mind off things of which there are still many currently, I have decided to try and finish a photoshop project started roughly just before my second year.

Mixed Day

May 5th, 2007

Ok, so its my brother’s 18th birthday which means that instead of revising for the AI exam I have plenty of distractions.

Some good news in the form of our idat205 Eden Game has been uploaded to the Eden Project’s website, and has been featured in a BBC news press release!

New Website Design in production

Meanwhile I am working to produce a new website design, which I am happy fulfils every intricate criteria I am striving for, and replace the current site which was a result of mashed together previous attempts with the aim of trying to keep everything active. So essentially EVERYTHING needs to be replaced and unified. This is of course while I am heating up the search for a placement.

About Me

I am a web designer/digital artist currently studying BSc Digital Art and Technology in Plymouth University. I have returned for my fourth and final year of the course following my year in an industrial placement with the web design company Neovirtua and my own freelance work.

So far I have developed a wide range of skills, from producing videos using 3D software to gaining an aptitude for learning numerous programming languages. This is all on top of my original enthusiasm for art and HTML.

Puzzle Flash

Based on a couple of puzzles I received a long time ago, this flash generates a random puzzle and then jumbles the pieces up for the player to solve.

Puzzle Flash game mini screenshot The flash actionscript behind this is flexible enough to allow for any size puzzle to be created and jumbled as many times as I like. In addition to this, the difficulty of rotating pieces is also a feature.
