I am currently in my final year of foundation Degree Digital Media at Leeds college of art, and I specialize in story-telling using a range of mediums including interactive based content. I would say I am inspired by cartoons and comics, but also the little things that most people don't notice or maybe are not bothered about, like this strange women on the train the other day, I imagined her whole life in 2 minutes! or the way a silverfish freezes up when it feels vibrations in the hope it won't be noticed! OK so I admit I have an overactive imagination, always have, but that is what I like about me and I feel this only helps me in my line of work. My strength as a digital designer definitely lies in my passion for creating a narrative and a mood, I am interested in the visual construction between image and sound and I like to animate using 2D software and my own hand drawings. I want to bring "my world" to life using digital media.....

Bjork

One of my favorite artists, I've just been revisiting some of her videos, I have always felt inspired by this artist and some of my earlier work is clearly influenced by bjork, I wish I could find that creativity again, sometimes I wonder if the computer has taken it away? I used to use stop motion, photography, I drew alot more- on paper with a real pen! lol and a few times I would draw on myself and create artwork on my face, I used to create clay models etc. but since starting digital media I haven't once returned to any of these things instead opting to use the computer for everything, well this is digital media after all. But I feel most of it is about making money and creating what a client wants, it is not art for arts sake and therefore I feel I can't be as creative as I would like to be, there are limits and boundaries. I cannot wait to get all these constant briefs and work out of the way so I can just return to my "roots" and do my own thing.
