I'm an 18 year old interactive media student living in Newport (S.Wales), I'm currently studying at Crosskeys college in Gwent and I hope to get into University and pursue my interest in Web Design & Interactive Media.
I have a big interest in Web Design and it's been my passion for the last 7 years, though I have only recently started to launch entire websites, since I have mainly spent the last couple of years improving my skills.

Axample was a new company that was planning to provide web hosting, Along with a couple of other programmers, we were given the task of creating the main website as well as a custom billing software.
Their logo was created earlier on and I was given the task to create and code the front-end of the website, while the other programmers created the backend and custom billing software. Shortly after I completed my part of the job, the two people who we were hired by seemed to disappear off the map, we later heard there was a legal problem with their company name and we have since never completed the site backend, and hence neither the project as a whole.
Renegade Studioz was a website I set up with a fellow web designer, we planned to release free templates for different website cms's (content management system).
We eventually let the domain expire as the cms we designed for the most, had stopped being updated and we thought it was best to leave it as it was, as we both had more things going on that left us with very little time in which we could design in.
In total we only ever made three unique templates, one of which we released two days before we decided to stop doing them for free, as the amount of work we had to put in to make them just wasn't worth it.
One of the templates I created for Renegade Studioz, it was only ever downloaded by a handful of people as we shut the site down a few days after it's release.
It was created for Jupiter Portal 1.1.5 (aka JCM) which has now been discountinued.
Created for my assignment work in college, I was required to create an interactive menu using Director MX. I decided to use the film 300 as the basis for my menu, from where I then went on to create a menu with my own custom trailer by using existing clips that were available at the time.
The menu features many different sections which featured information on the cast as well as downloadable content and the ability to listen to samples of the soundtrack.
The name 'The Last Objective', is a name that I created a couple of years ago to use in my graphics coursework as a mock up video game. I decided to use the name in my next college assignment and instead of it being the name of a video game, I used is as the name of a movie.
I created numerous posters, trailers and a website to go with it. However the website was merely an afterthought which is why I spent so little time on it, I had hoped to try and create a kind of game where different clues would be hidden around different sections of the website and that would eventually lead you to a hidden section of the site, I did add a few clues that would give you a small insight as to what the plot of the movie would be but in the end made a compromise and I never created the extra section.
A couple of years ago I always wanted to have my own games website, so a couple of months ago I created pl4yit.com. It currently has over a thousand games, though many are rather outdated (and naff) as I was given the game pack by a friend.
It runs on my own custom backend and uses my own design. At the current time I have not tried to market or advertise the site, so any hits recieve are quite welcomed. In a couple of months I plan to do a full overhaul where I will market and improve the site.
I created this logo for a friend of mine, Côr y Dreigiau is a welsh choir which needed an upto date logo. I was told to base it on the Gwent Dragons logo which resembled a curled dragons tail, so I incorporated a tail design protruting off the tail on the letter 'R' in a few of my concept designs, this was later decided against my the client who preferred my other concept designs.
