The day in a world/life project was
meant to familiarise the audience
with the breadth of services and
products that are available from LGC.
The brief was an open brief, where
two excel spreadsheets were
provided with the information the
client wanted to include. I was asked
to do ‘something’ with it, so I chose
to create an animated interactive
illustration. The illustration style, and
the interactive format, were both
new to the company, but proved very
popular.
Print posters were also created in the
same style.

Within my current role I have had
experience creating both videos and
animations. I have experience directing
people talking to camera, and making
them feel at ease, as well as knowledge
of the best setups for lighting.
The short documentary about
identifying the soldiers from WWI
using forensic techniques was popular
amongst the scientific audience. I
directed the scientists during the
interview, as well as filming, and used
other footage shot of a ceremony and
old photos, and edited this all together.
The outcomes video was created in
Flash. The information was provided
in a spreadsheet, and I was asked to
create a video from that.
I also have 3D animation and
modelling, as well as 2D Flash
animation experience.

I am able to create items suitable for
online use. This includes web banners,
interactive items and interactive PDFs.
I previously worked as the designer
for the international webshop for LGC
Standards. I created the site adhering
to the CMS div setup, but changed the
HTML and CSS styling to promote the
company as more modern.
I have also worked as a web
developer and email coder for another
freelance graphic designer, due to my
knowledge of HTML and CSS, as well
as some Javascript. Examples of this
(coding, not design) can be found here:
http://www.memyselfmore.com/

I also have knowledge of digital
marketing, and have created items
for social media use (for example
backgrounds and post items).

Since I first introduced interactivity
as part of the marketing materials for
the company it has been used in a
number of campaigns. The Valentines’
day hospital waiting room campaign
was particularly popular- with an email
click-through rate of 15% for the US
section of the market.
I have also created an animated disc
interface using Flash (and .bat files), for
the more traditional markets.

Hover over the different areas of the image to view some interactivity. These animated areas also work as
buttons, with links to related areas.

I have worked for a small start-up
company as an illustrator/animator
creating 30o
assets for Facebook games
using Flash and Illustrator. These assets
were bought or won by players to
decorate their ‘garden’ or entertain
their ‘pets’.
The company unfortunately no longer
exists, however it had one of the top
ten games on Facebook at the time.
