In 2005 I attained my BA (Hons) Art and Design (First Class), utilising Multimedia.

For both my 'Major Project' and the 'Live Project' I decided to work with a local singer who had previously told me about an Adam Ant tribute act he had been working on. Utilising some of the multimedia skills from my previous HND I thought it would be a good exercise to create a website for the 'client' and all the materials for the site, this would be the 'Live Brief'. The 'Major Brief' would be to produce an interactive DVD and the materials needed to create that, this would be a promotional tool, a show reel for the client to send to his prospective clients.

Designs for the Antflavour Project will be shown in the 'E-folio' area of this site.

Graduation was held at St George's Minster, Doncaster on the 27th January 2006.
