Life After Uni

Hay everyone,

I had a good time on the course and learnt a great deal. I was disappointed that i was unable to attend the graduation ceremony. Umfortunatly though I had to go into hospital for surgery and was not released until after it had happened. It was sad to have not had the opportunity to see everyone one last time.

Sinces then alot has happened and i am currently employed as a junior graphic designer at South Nottingham College in thier marketing department and... i... am... loving it. its a bit of a change in direction in what i was studying at Trent but having come from a graphics background it is something that i am very passionate about.

Trent was great and I'd like to thank all the tutors that took the time to help.

I'll be seeing you

client project

here is my completed client project with some of the additional information.

I worked to an animation brife from the D&AD website that had been set by Disney.

The brief was to design a character for a leading role. The challenge was to develop the characters personality.

here are some rough designs.





So Here it is The Werewolf Kid

Summery of year 2

During my second year i had to make my most important decision, interactive media or virtual environments it was no easy decision and came with lost of sleepless nights but eventually i got their. Below are the projects i covered over the year and my outcomes for them. Oh iv not included the spp stuff because i don't feel its relevance.

Projects Term Two

Up Above Down Below-
Design a roller coaster that takes you to either outer space or under the ocean.


A roller coaster in space, not much else to say about that really.

Verdict: Quite happy with this.


Of Bots and Bananas-
For this project we had to design a robot and rig it(put bones inside to help it move). once we had done that we had to think of a way to make it interact with a banana peel... yes that old gag.


basically its the old banana gag with a twist.

Verdict: Quite happy with this.


Card Game-
Also for this term i had to design a brand new card game.

Project Term Two and Three

Fantastic Airport-
This is already on my blog but i suppose it wont hurt having it on twice.
In this project we were to design a full scale airport, a fantastic airport.


I designed an offshore wave powered airport. This design is intended to help preserve land space. i presented it in a minimal style because i wanted it to resemble an architects preliminary model.

Verdict: Very happy with this.


A Nice Cup of Tea-
Again this is already on my blog but i suppose it wont hurt having it on twice.
For this we had to design an original character rig it and animate it making a cup of tea in the most creative way possible.


Basic rundown is Cecil about to make a cup of tea slips on the milk he gets out of the fridge only to wake up in a dream world.

Verdict: Very happy with this.


Board Game-
I had to also build a board game
