Who is Mr Osborne?

I am an animator and designer currently based around London. I enjoy eating all kinds of chocolate, hurling abuse at Nottingham Forest FC while listening to them on the radio from the comfort of my sofa, and being totally confused by the latest episode of Lost.

I have over 6 years in the industry and am a trained animator and illustrator. I also design and create websites, interactive presentations, print ready artwork and tons of other stuff that might take your fancy. My skills include a thorough knowledge of software such as the Adobe CS suite, Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, After Effects and Premiere. I also know and understand Actionscipt, DHTML, 3D software, PDF workflow and print processes.





















































Experience
BYG - Designer / Production Lead

In my last job I was a designer for a multimedia company. I have been involved
in projects as diverse as broadcast quality animation, print design, interactive design and storyboarding. I have worked on
projects for clients including the Royal Bank
of Scotland, Carphone Warehouse and
Smith & Nephew.

NPG - ADS Coordinator / Graphic Designer

Working for the Nottingham Post Group, I had two different roles over a period of 3 years. The first was coordinating the delivery and print of digital artwork to the paper whilst also checking print jobs and having to meet tight delivery deadlines. Later on I moved into a design role for which I had to produce artwork for clients who wanted to advertise in the various publications NPG produced.

Freelance projects

Over the years I have also had periods of working on freelance projects for both screen and print which have taught me the skills of time management!

Education
Postgraduate

I have recently completed an MA in Animation at Kingston University. The course was full time and finished in November.

Undergraduate

I studied Illustration for my BA at De Montfort University. It was a wonderful 3 years. Enjoyed it immensely. Yep.

Schooling

I have 9 GCSE's and 4 'A' Levels - just so you know I'm not a dumb ass.
