Henry Ryder - digital design & illustration

I have worked in online marketing and interactive design for the past 5 years, working with a close knit team on a fast paced work schedule, often on several projects simultaneously. Working predominantly for film and video game clients. (e.g. Paramount, Universal, Warner Bros, Capcom and Disney.)

Using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver and After Effects on a daily basis for over the past seven years. Designing for print using Photoshop and Illustrator to create flyers, posters and T-Shirts, and using InDesign to layout brochures. I have designed for a variety of social media sites, iPhone applications, HTML emails, flash games and banners, branding, logos and typography.

I have an active interest in arts and culture. I like to keep up to date with new media and style trends.
