Welcome to David SkewisFX!
I am a passionate freelance designer who specializes in Video & Motion Graphics, Graphic Design & Image Manipulation (Photoshop), 3D Modelling & Animation and also Web Design & CSS. I enjoy my work deeply as it gives me freedom to express my ideas to a wide audience. I also enjoy working for clients, as I enjoy the experience of bringing peoples dreams and ideas to life for them. Having started out my trade in Media education - ie, capturing, editing and compositing video - I then branched out in my education to the Computing side of media with much web design and Java programming.

I have various different works in Video & Motion Graphics (my passion), please feel free to browse and voice your opinions!

Photoshop and Graphic Design are real passions of mine. I have been using Photoshop for over 6 years and I'm very experienced and comfortable with the software. Please feel free to take a look at some of my work below!
I have only had a brief experience in Studio Photography but I have discovered that I really enjoy doing it. Below are the photographs of the shoot I have done with a Nintendo Gamecube. Please feel free to let me know what you think!
3D Modelling is a media type which I have taken up over the last year or so. I have discovered a real joy with the modelling process within 3D software such as Autodesk Maya and Cinema4D. I also enjoy animating in 3D and converging this media type with Motion Graphics and After Effects. I am currently learning NextLimit RealFlow.
I have been designing web layouts and websites for some time. I am currently in the process of completing this website fully (I am also currently designing a website for my band; B-Movie Britz) and uploading images of other websites I have designed. Please stay tuned to see more designs!

It must be noted that my true passion lies within Video & Motion Graphics. I feel that all matters to do with video is my chosen preference, however - I also deeply enjoy script writing for video and film as this lets me express ideas to a wide audience. I started using Photoshop at a young age and I carried my interest & experience onto University where I expanded my knowledge of the product. I have been using the software for 7 years which gives me an extensive knowledge and a feeling of comfortability when using the product.

the man behind the banana

What to say about myself? I hate writing things about myself but I guess it's necessary these days!

Well, I live in the UK in a small town called Corby, Northamptonshire. I attended a local school and went on to study A Levels in Media, Graphics & Resistent Materials and ICT. From here I went on to study at De Montfort University in Leicester - studying Multimedia Computing. This course was extremely beneficial as it allowed me to continue doing what I loved - Video capture & Composition - but also expanded my horizons to Motion Graphics, Web Design (including HTML, CSS, Javascript & jQuery), Flash Design & ActionScript, Java Programming, Internet Software Development (XML, XSL, JSP, SQL etc) and also 3D Modelling & Animation.
