CV IN BRIEF===========    I have worked in Graphic Design since 1987 based in    print media, originally using drawing boards and    pre-digital paste-up techniques (Letraset, Bromide    Camera etc...). In 1989 I began using Apple Macintosh    Computers for design work which I had first used in    1983/4 when they were first on the market.    Previous experience in print design includes    packaging, marketing brochures, promotional literature    and leaflets, exhibition boards, Newsletters,    Stationary, Fax Headers and Mailers, Corporate    Identity, T-Shirt Design, Posters and Programmes    from initial concepts to finished product. I have    experience in working with full colour design and    designs limited to single and spot colours.    Between 1992 and 1993 I occasionally carried out    voluntary work with Cable Television crews to learn    more about video production and editing techniques.    Left full-time employment in 1993 to study BA Hons    Graphic Design as a mature student specialising in    Multimedia. Graduated from Coventry University in    June 1996 with First Class Honours.    During my course I carried out freelance work for a    number of companies including an electronic publishing    company in Kidlington, just north of Oxford, where I    was required to produce user intefaces for CDROM    products and WebSites being involved with the    planning of information access structures and product    specification from the outset of new projects    My thesis centered on "The Changing Role of Graphic    Designers in the Digital Age" for which I studied the    theories of Human Computer Interaction, over and above    the requirements of the course.SOFTWARE EXPERIENCE-------------------Macromedia Flash & Shockwave, Macromedia Director & Lingo,Adobe Photoshop & Illustrator, Quark Xpress, Adobe Pagemaker, AdobePremiere, Adobe Dimensions, Adobe Streamline, Avid Media100, Avid VideoShop,Macromedia Freehand, Macromedia SoundEdit, Macromedia DeckII,Macromedia Extreme 3D, Macromedia XRes, Equilibrium Debablizer,Macromedia Fontographer, amongst others...RECENT DESIGN PROJECTS======================XENOCRACY---------http://xenocracy.grolier.co.ukThis site was designed to promote a new computer game from GrolierInteractive.

The image conotes the idea of "wheels of industry", while thecogs are gold to imply a sense of value, finance and profit.
