Photoshop

I used to belong to a few forums for Photoshop enthusiasts in 2002 and started up my own soon after. The name of my forum was Bloody Designs and everyday I would check for new members, add new photoshop sigs (signatures) and run competitions for "Sig of the Week", where members could produce signatures in Photoshop based on themes or just whatever they fancied. This messing around with Photoshop gave me my basic tools for creating imagery for the websites I would build later in life.

Website Design

In 2003 my website design aspirations were growing and were eventually fore-filled after purchasing a website design book. The title of this book was Build Your Own Web Site The Right Way Using HTML & CSS and amazingly its contents stuck in my brain like glue, which if you know me personally normally doesn't happen because I have the memory of a goldfish (no offence goldfish population) and the attention span of a small infant.

With the knowledge of standards compliant HTML, clean semantic markup & a now bursting mind of creative ideas I began to build my first website for a domain I purchased (tmdesigns.org). Since then I have built websites for an array of local businesses and, of course, for myself. I'm proud of every design I have built over the many years and I hope to continue to produce many more.

Other Passions

From my portfolio you will notice additional artistic fields I enjoy to participate in. These are Illustration, Photography & Painting. These newer genres of design and creativity are becoming more important with every new image I take, every doodle and illustration I draw and every brush stroke I make. So please be sure to leave me your feedback on how I can improve, it would be very appreciated.

Future Plans

For now I plan to continue to do my creative things in my spare time and build up a big portfolio to hopefully brake into an art & design role or website design role. If you have any work you need done on a website or if you have a photo/illustration/painting in mind for a project of yours then do not hesitate to get in touch.
