He wanted to develop his knowledge in computer aided design and took further education in Digital Media Production at a BA Hons level, which covered web design, animation, 2d and 3d design. In his own time he was determined to learn more on the software packages he already utilises such as photo shop, illustrator, 3d max, and flash.
Successfully completing this course revealed the technical side of design which he balances in his creativity and increased upon the fine detail he already possesses.
Christopher took these skills and applied it to his designs evolving to technical and creative outstanding work.
He is now currently working with an independent record label, Fine Line Records. He inspires the designs for their music production team Sly Click production, Managing their, image, website, promotion and advertisements.

| The Graphic Ninja - Matt |
|
Matt began as a traditional artist using pencil and pen to create his work. He has always been a keen artist never missing out on fine detail. Normal items usually excluded from drawn images are instantly recognisable.
He learned about computers as a hobby at school and has been using computers ever since. He has great IT skills and constantly keeps up-to-date with the latest technology. Traditional artwork illustration is still a pass time but his real passion is with computer generated art.

After learning the basics in Business & Finance he studied Computer Aided Design and attained levels 1-4 City & Guilds in 2D and 3D Design.
Obtaining distinctions in both basic and advanced modules, his tutor stated “due to your high level of detail”, he went on to study a HND in Computer Engineering. Why? 'Because detail comes from knowledge. If you know about the fine detail then it should be represented. If you don't know that information should be there, you won't miss it but someone else will'.
He further developed his knowledge base by studying a HND in Computer Science. In his spare time he developed his 3D skills learning 3D packages Bryce, Poser and 3D Studio Max. Now he is learning Maya, Mudbox and Zbrush.
He has worked with Government HQ Departments on several projects over a 6 year period. He then spent 12 months working for a reputable Graphic Design Company, commissioning projects for multi-million pound clients including a sponsor of the Ferrari F1 team. Further down the line he went on to work 6 month contracts helping several internet companies to get off the ground.
One Client described his work as ‘Some of the best he has seen on the web, highly accurate and very precise'. For Matt, design is a way of life. |
