Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all!! I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year. The new year is fast approaching and I will be uploading loads of new projects and personal graphic design work. Look out for more content soon! 

Low Poly: Wallpaper

This is a low poly wallpaper I have been working on for the last couple of days. I wanted something that looks stylish and works well as a wallpaper/ background banner. I loved the final outcome of this experiment. Using a deformer called Polygon Reduction, it created this geometric style.

Once I got the basic layout, I started to make it look very complex and abstract, this also made the wallpaper quite dark and metallic.

  

Low Poly Modelling- Landscapes

Recently I have been experimenting with Low Poly modelling within Cinema 4D. Everywhere I kept seeing many 3d designers creating amazing pieces of work in this very unique style and I wanted to know how it was done. The idea of making a 3d object look somewhat 2d just amazed me and it inspired me to create loads of different styles of 3d illustration. 

These are some experiments of what I have created recently while in Cinema 4D, I tried having a look at modelling mountains and terrain. Using loads of different deformers and settings I came to these final images. What I will do overtime is develop these further and used what I have learnt to create a short film or music visualisation.

  

Work

I have been away for a little while after being really busy non-stop and creating tonnes of commission work. I have been working for a digital marketing agency called Meeco London based in North London.

I have been mostly busy designing wordpress integrated websites; as well as many other types of design. For example motion graphics, email marketing design, identity and branding packages, illustration, design for print and a whole lot more.

Rebecca Smith Photography

Recently I finished creating a freelance project to promote a very unique and talented photographer, Rebecca Smith Photography. I was tasked to design her brand and other forms of advertising for her future personal website. Here is part of the progression from the drawing board to the final product. 

Recent Freelance Projects

A few months I started to pursue my freelance career more seriously and gain more exposure in the working world. I have created 2D/ 3D animation intros for clients online, mainly for people who are in a gaming clans for call of duty or other games.

The main sort of specialism I deliver to small start up businesses is mainly User Interface (UI) design, graphic design and motion graphics. During the next couple of weeks I will upload my completed and current freelance projects.

Hi Everyone.

As you could probably tell I haven't been really active recently, but that is due to me landing a full time Graphic Designer position with a digital marketing agency Meeco London based in Wood Green.

I have been working there since january working on many projects such as designing 2d elements featuring props, characters and settings for a game, still currently going through development. As well as designing many forms of print design from business cards, posters, banners and flyers. The biggest service that I deliver to my clients is website design & development.

Other the past few months I have worked on many website projects for local charities to jewellers, based around the world. I am still challenging myself everyday to create beautiful and thought provoking pieces of design.

Im back!

Hi everyone, It has been quite a while since i've posted anything. I'm finally glad to be back and start posting more about my recent projects going on and my creations. Throughout the next couple of weeks I will upload some personal projects that I have been working on while my mac has been unavailable.

Over the last couple of months I have been learning Web Design/ Development and I have found it very challenging but at the same time very rewarding. In the future I will hope to make my own website showcasing all my Graphic/ Motion design work.

Hey guys! recently my macbook pro has decided to break down on me, so there will be a little bit of a delay with posting content. But not all is lost! i will try and continue to post some work within the next couple of weeks!

Intro 2: Circle Animation

This was a complex one to do but I absolutely loved doing it, using the skills that I have learnt in previous tutorial. I was able to play around with different duplicated layers and change the settings and also placing presets like Radial Wipe and Venetian Blinds over my existing animations. 

Intro 1: Square transition

While looking at tutorials for 2D intros I was able to learn very quickly, If you just duplicate certain presets and change with the settings you'll create a lot of fun and exciting new animations and looks more eye catching. I played around with squash and stretch, I also animated objects to make them come to life and create something unique. This is the just the first outcome of what I have learnt, I’ve taken techniques I have learnt and put them into my own little animation. When I have more confidence I will decide to create my very own advanced 2d intro that contain sound FX and other presets. 

Lately.

Hey guys!

Lately I have been super busy doing work for upcoming and current projects but whenever I’m not busy I’m finding myself experimenting with a lot of after effects. Trying to make cool and exciting new things, one thing I really wanted to achieve was to create 2D intros and see what else I can do within my compositions. In the next few days I will upload 2D intros that I have created. I’ve already learnt how to do a basic intro in after effects and as the time goes on I will create more and more complex animations.

Final Polygon Reduction Render

 Created in After effects CS5. Effects that were created are:

 Particles, Static, background and additional lighting and audio sync.

Render Time: 15 mins 

Render 1: Without all Elements

This is the final Render of the Polygon Reduction without all elements from after effects. 

Process in Cinema4D

Project 2: Polygon Reduction Experiment

Recently I have been experimenting with a lot of After Effects CS5 and completing small montages and motion graphics. I came across this tutorial on the web and It contains information about a deformer experiment called 'Polygon Reduction' in Cinema4D. This enabled me to create an abstract model that I can change and animate professionally.

In the next few weeks I will start to experiment with live action footage and composite this render and hopefully import more into the scene. Stay tuned for more updates!

Possible Final Piece

 The client really loved my banner and was pleased of what was portayed. He asked if I could change the font ever so slightly and also change the intensity of the picture to make it more sci fi and also more sinister. Im quite proud of my work so far and hopefully I can make this even better soon.
