WHAT HE DOES

  • Title Sequences

    Title sequences introduce or conclude films or television programmes by presenting the title and key production & cast members. They establish the setting, tone, and genre of the show/film with a mix of various visuals and audio mediums: live action, animation, music, still images, and/or graphics.

  • Broadcast Design & Branding

    Television channels and programmes have defining visual branding and graphics. Every so often, television stations will aim to re-invent their branding to keep up-to-date with the visual trends of the season, year, or decade. The job of the designer and motion designer is to achieve that by creating such deliverables as Idents, Tune-Ins, Bugs (logo in bottom right corner), Lower Thirds, Promos, etc.

  • Game Design & Content

    Within the video game industry, a UI (User Interface) designer is responsible for creating the visual elements and interactive components that make up the user’s visual interface within a video game. Examples include designing the menus, HUD (Heads-Up Display), buttons, icons, and other graphical elements that players interact with while playing the game.
