Thanks for visiting my site.

My name is Chris Sutherland and I've been a creative designer for around two years now.

I started my professional journey by attending Northumbria University where I gained a BSc(Hons) degree in Multimedia and Digital Entertainment Computing. It was here I realised that I have a passion for learning, I love to attain new skills whether they be related to a creative discipline or not. I love to learn and if I can, I love to pass on that knowledge.

I currently work at Design-a-cake.co.uk, we are a specialist sugarcraft retailer and I am the sole creative designer for the company. I create adverts for national and international magazines, create HTML email newsletters and design signage for the outside and inside of the store/warehouse. Other roles include web site design for our satellite sites, product photography and anything else the company needs, whether it be registration forms for a discount card, new stationery or a logo for a new venture.

My Skills lie mainly in

• Photoshop
• 3D design
• Video editing/Special effects (VFX)
• Print/web design

I am developing my skills in

• Jquery
• CSS/XHTML
• php/MySQL
• Illustrator

Outside of work I love to read, draw, paint, listen to music, socialise with friends, learn new things, take photos, play videogames, read comics and play wargames. I’m what you would call a geek but I’m cool with that.
