Background
A British/Irish born Chinese student that is currently studying in the University of Ulster at Magee. My major is Bsc (Hons) Multimedia Computing & Design DIS and I am currently attending the final year of this course.
For a Multimedia/IT background, during my placement year in 2006/2007, I have worked for a web design company named ITS New Media. They are located in Newry, Northern Ireland and specializes in web design, e-commerce, web hosting, internet marketing and many more. From there, I have learned about many aspects of internet marketing, helped designing different media elements in many projects, had experience on communicating with clients.
I have also attended a one week animation summer school course in Dundalk Institute back in summer 2006. This was run by the Digital Diversity and there were other course available as well.
For illustrations, I work in various styles with different mediums.
For traditional mediums, I work with soft & oil pastels, pen & ink, screentone, alcohol colour markers, colouring pencils & pencils.
I also use various computer software for digital work, including Photoshop, Fireworks & Flash.
