One of my old Uni projects re-rendered now that I'm getting more familiar with production techniques for comic-book style artwork:

Skyscape

Quick painting using Photoshop and the tablet/pen.

Powerpoint... Wait! Hear me out.

Whilst it's still a Microsoft program, and has it's frustrating traits like those silly hidden parts of the dropdown menus, PowerPoint is actually more capable than many people realise. The last couple of weeks have seen me working on slideshows at SIG, so I had the opportunity to develop relatively intricate animations and transitions to help explain timelines and the evolution of various elements of the business. A company called 'Eyeful' have pioneered the use of PowerPoint and their stuff was very inspirational - to be honest at first i was convinced they'd used some cheeky Flash, but you live and learn: http://www.eyefulpresentations.co.uk/samples Sent from my iPhone

Linking it all together

Im still at it; producing visuals and graphically interesting brochure designs. It's been a busy couple of months since my last post so I figured it was time to try a mobile blog update and to see if that would enable me to update more easily and hence more frequently.

Who knows, I might even figure out how to use twitter for this instead!

Edit: further to that idea... Twitter feed viewable on the right of this page!

Illustrator Training

I provided a member of staff with a couple of hours of training on Adobe Illustrator today.  It's the first time I've given any training on that particular program and I hadn't realised just how much I knew about the package. 

Illustrator is one of those that I've used on and off, but never had a solid requirement for in a work setting until this month, - when I was asked to generated some logo designs with it for an SIG group project.  For this reason I was thinking that my knowledge was probably full of holes that I'd just learned to work around, but today proved otherwise.


I'm really tempted now to come up with a little side project of my own in order to showcase what I can do with the package.
