So, who am I?

I’m more than just the guy who poses as blue silhouettes at the header and footer of this website. My name is Chris Ayres, and I really enjoy making websites. That’s not all though - I’m really in to Flash and video editing.

My interest in making websites goes back to when I used to play Worms 2 online far too much and saw players had made sites for their clans. Teaching myself Flash and the basics of HTML, I kept making websites until I set up a web design business in 2007. A year passed and I decided that a university degree on the subject was my best chance at a career, and so now I’m at Leeds Metropolitan studying Multimedia Technology.

This is what I do.

I like to think I’m a web designer, but I also really enjoy making Flash games. Creating an interactive experience for a user to immerse themselves in is fantastically satisfying. Graphic design usually accompanies the work I do, and throughout my University course I’ve become a confident video editor. To summarise:

  • Web design
  • Interactive Flash experiences
  • Video editing
  • Graphic design

The next step.

Once I finish my degree in 2011 I’d love to be employed by a web design company. If you want to employ me, or even if you just like the look of my work, please feel free to contact me. You can Tweet me, comment on my blog, or use good old-fashioned email. Thanks for looking at my site.
