Education

MA Computer Generated Imagery at Glyndwr University
I designated this time to studying how to use motion graphics in the real world. My main project explored 'the visual essay', with a strong emphasis on video (which is now omnipresent throughout the internet). Video is ideal for storytelling and can be used to explain, interpret and inform.
One obvious benefit of this format is its ability to simultaneously utilise image, sound, voiceover, text, colour, shape, rhythm and sequencing to communicate ideas and services, and to distil complex data into an accessible form.
