VISUAL EFFECTS (VFX)
The art in visual effects is sometimes hard to display because if you did your job properly no one
should notice anything has been altered but here are a few examples of effects I have done in the
past:

CONCLUSION
I know how to design, illustrate, manipulate and edit imagery and video of all sizes, styles and
themes. I have an eye for composition and detail and a passion for making the best art I possibly can
no matter what the nature of the job is. I am a very technically literate person with a high level of
mastery in many complex design software applications and Im internet literate enough to teach
myself new software and techniques.
