When I first read the brief I decided I wanted it to be minimal and made up in the majority of lines of text rather than individual characters and glyphs as I wanted the words to speak about me as well as the composition. View it here.

Photograhy
Whenever I have a free amount of time I like to play around with my camera finding textures for design work, or play around with framing and perspectives. Photography has always been a passion of mine and lately I enjoy capturing some low-light photography that includes some light painting time to time.
Vido
I like creative video projects, either being animated using self-made graphics, recording a band's live set and audio or just a short ident for a brand or channel. I like to plan thoroughly, take my time when shooting and get the best footage I can, so when it comes to post-production I am re-adapting less to issues like an out of focus clip to corrupted footage from an SD card.
Typography
I had an interest in Typography for some time because it helps to take time pickling the current and best fitting font family or fonts for a website, brand or poster, even a designer’s signature. Branding always gives me an opportunity to analyse and create an identity of a project or constructively improve the look of a band.
