creating a page...

So today I have been practicing making a page for viewing the news on your mobile phone, I started from the top by using the rectangle tool and adding a gradient layer, and altering the gradient. all of the other sections were created in a similar way, each with it own effects.

Phone Wallpaper

Today I have been putting together a practice wire frame and then this afternoon I created a few practice phone wallpapers. The one above that I have posted I made by following a tutorial posted on http://www.photoshoplady.com/tutorial/awesome-colorful-bubble-effect/811

practice wallpaper

I was set the 'homework' of choosing a phone wallpaper and attempting to copy it using the skills I had in Photoshop and this is what I have managed. this is the wallpaper I chose. this is my version.

Work Experience

Next week I'll be starting my work experience at Sprung Studio in Brighton, which I now know to be very very close to Brighton station, so I got there exceptionally early. James was really friendly and explained what he hopes from me fairly well but I think it will probably be a case of learning as I go along.

Fingers Crossed.

I am going down to Brighton on Friday to meet with James Chaytor, who runs Sprung Studios, an interactive design agency, to discuss possibly doing some work experience there. Quite excited about it.



Also I have finished the artwork I was doing for Andy Wyatt but will have to wait a while before I can post it.

so at the moment..

I am working at a few fine drinking establishments and cleaning at a school to pass the time of day, but I have been given a fab opportunity by Andy Wyatt to be involved in a project. I am doing eight background for project for something that might be on tv hopefully, assuming the work I submit is ok. I'll have to check if I can post any of the artwork before putting anything up. but I am really enjoying the work :)

Card Loving

So this card is actually for Jack's Parents for letting my gatecrash their family holiday next week and I love it so I thought I should probably take a pic before giving it away. I love the design. If I could hover about in card shops in Brighton Lanes for a full day I would be in heaven.

Busy Month!

It has been a busy busy month for me, not really animation wise, though I certainly am now working on it.
I graduated on the 1st of July with a BA (Hons) Digital Animation Degree, which was Exciting! I went to the London Grad Screening and met a few nice industry folk, one or two of whom I am going to send my CV to, in the hopes that they might see my potential and give me a placement or work.

I moved back to Sussex after graduation and am currently filling my days with part time paid employment, and scouring the web and paper for more inspiring work. I have a few personal projects I am about to crack on with, and will upload artwork as and when it is finished :)

so my film is online and you can watch it!

The Lady in the Rain
Charlotte and I are happy to be able to show everyone what we have spent the last year working on. The Lady in the Rain is a 2D short arts animation, and the story is based on a moral found in one of Aesop's fables 'The memory of a good deed lives.'
I hope you enjoy it.

My Postcards Arrived!

so my postcards arrived, and they are a little darker printed than I was expecting but I still love them! Cant wait to start sending them out with my CV. And I very excited about our grad film screening a CineSite in Soho next week. Partly because I get to see evryones films and I havent seen any yet and partly because it'll be a really great way to end the year before Graduation (plus I get to see/stay with my lovely sister :) )



o and degree results tomorrow!
