Oh, it's Mike...
...and I'm a website developer and designer from the South of England
What I do
What I've done
Solent University's Radio Website
Radio Sonar is Solent University's student run radio station, and they requested a brand new snazzy website ready for the freshers joining the university in September 2019. This project was an honour to work on, and I found it an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding experience.
Night Out Project
Night Out is a project created within my second year of study at university. Created using HTML, CSS, PHP and JavaScript it allows users to search, review and post venues for a night out in Southampton. For this assessment, I received a grade of 68%
Portfolio Project
For another assignment within my second year of study at university we were tasked with creating a website using HTML, CSS and JavaScript with a focus of taking on a clear workflow with coding styles and using GitHub. For this assessment, I received a grade of 74%
FreeFlix
Within my second year of study at university, an assessment brief led me to design a new film streaming service for both SmartTV and Mobile devices. These designs were interactive and the process from start to finish can be read on Medium. For this project, I received 74%
Daily Logo Challenge
Throughout 2018 I decided to undertake the daily logo challenge. Although I never completed all 50 logo briefs, I did get a large portion completed and this process allowed me to learn lots of new techniques within Adobe Illustrator. There's a clear improvement of my logo design work shown within my Behance profile as the days progressed.
Queens of the South
A client came to me needing a logo for their new online magazine they were launching for their third year project “Queens of the South”, which featured drag queens and gender identity in and around the south of England. Check out the logo in full quality on my Behance page.
Why I do it
When I was 13 years old, I was obsessed with games and websites and how to make them. I’d watch countless videos about how to create your own games, most of which left me completely bewildered and feeling hopeless. Come age 15, I started a GCSE in Computer Science, before going on to study Computer Science and Web Design at A-Level. My love for code continued to grow, and I took a keen interest within coding websites over gaming. That brings me to now, studying my final year of BSc in Web Design and Development at Solent University. What’s next?
