Matt Wreford Site Design

August 31st, 2008

Having received some images and instructions on content, I am quite pleased with the way the design is going. Here is a screenshot of the Home page, featuring simply his three rules:

It is still featuring the fluid two column layout where both sides expand and keep the content in the centre, and the tabbed menu holds itself at top right.

Here are a couple of pictures from my visit to Stonehenge. Despite the seemingly endless rain, it may have actually even been sunny on this day!

Holiday in Cornwall

July 14th, 2008

So I’ve had a holiday in a caravan with my family in rainy Cornwall during the week that had possibly the worst forecast for July ever. So bad in fact that our local presenter David Braine was demonstrating rainfall as dyed blue water in glasses, comparing the monthly average, which wasn’t very much, against a full glass symbolising what was expected to fall in just one day.

However it turned out nowhere near as bad as this and from the sounds it was further up nearer home that got all this rain. So we managed to visit some very beautiful places of which I have taken and uploaded photos to Flickr. I also managed to take a couple of quite successful panoramic photoshop-merged shots.

Looping Smarties Pattern

April 16th, 2008

Yesterday I was given the interesting task of creating a looping pattern of smarties to be printed off in giant scale and wrapped around the outside of a van. After buying several smarties and taking a few photographs later, I produced this pattern:

Personal Projects

October 20th, 2007

Alongside neovirtua efforts, I have found myself swinging back towards the more artistic side of things after spending what seemed like the entire second year of my course coding. My puzzle flash code-thing has been all-but finished scriptwise for a while and is now in the process of gaining some nice vector art (at one stage Illustrator was a bad, bad word) and creating images for websites has rekindled my love of all things photoshop.

Experimental Photoshop

June 28th, 2007

An experiment I started all the way back when I was on holiday in Florida during my easter ‘break’ from i-dat (where I managed to complete both my idat203 project and do all the JSP coding for the final soft221 project), and forgot about/didn’t have time to fully explore until now.

I’d seen something like this done before but cannot remember where. It is an interesting use of a panoramic shot to say the least.

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.
