the guy behind the blog..



I am a college student currently studying a BTEC National Diploma at Level 3 in Art & 3D Design. When I chose my GCSE's i hadn't a clue what I wanted to be. I just took the ones I liked the look of. This consisted of Maths, English, Science, ICT, Geography, Resistant Materials and German, that's including the compulsory subjects. I passed them all, and gained a healthy range of grades of qualification.

First of all, i'm not an artist.. But I do like to experiment with all the different media's and materials I can when I am designing. I'm a sucker for a new pack of pencils and even find pleasure from a pristine shaped rubber, I could say i'm quite a perfectionist but when it comes down to designing, I am not afraid to get stuck in and learn from mistakes.

When i started my college course we had a rule.. We had to draw in pen. We were taught to hate the rubber, and told that in design there are no mistakes, within reason..

This is one of my first ideas for my webpage. The main theme being a city scene in black and white. I have decided to use black and white as the work i will be posting on top of it will stand out a lot better than if it was on a plain white background.
