About
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Tim Makin from the United Kingdom. I was born on the 24th of September 1982 in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire (UK) I am now living in Mold, North Wales, where I have lived for the past 10 years.
I currently study a BA (Honours) in Multimedia Design at the North Wales School of Art and Design which is part of NEWI (North East Wales Institute) I first started studying Multimedia and Internet computing, but quickly changed after finding more passion for the design aspect of computing.
I have been interested in web design for around 5 to 6 years now, as my skills improve so does my interest in the subject. One of my biggest gains to my web design skills has been the understanding of CSS, the ability to have complete control over the style of a hypertext document allows my design skills to shine through.
I have included both Commercial and Academic work in my portfolio website, as I think it is important to show all areas of work and my academic work is more than likely more experimental than the commercial work. In both areas I always treat each project with the same amount of professional and enthusiasm as each other.
One thing is important for any designer whether it be a web or graphic designer is that you look outside your area of interest to be inspired. I am also keen to learn more in depth about motion graphics and how it can be combined to work on the web, because the World Wide Web will only carry on growing.
There are some truly amazing web designers in the world today, and like every designer I hope that someone will be inspired by my work.
Thank you for viewing my portfolio
