HELLO TO MY INTERNET

Welcome one and all to my little chunk of the internet. I'm not a "web design Jedi" or a "photoshop ninja", I'm Richard Bennett, a straight up working class Yorkshire lad who ♥'s design, and luckily it turns out I'm not too bad at it.

Curently the lead designer at Fast Web Media, I handle everything that comes through the department, be it web, print, video, UX, rebranding, wireframing etc etc, so I can turn my hand to pretty much anything. Except Flash.

So, I'm in the early stages of being a 30 something and I live in Manchester. I listen to Radio 4 and don't have a television. I'm a pretty good cook and when I was little my dream job was to be a hot water bottle maker. I'm not related to Alan Bennett even though we're both from Leeds.

CUTTING TO THE CHASE

Let's not beat around the bush, you want to know what I can do, right? How does:
› Pixel-perfect responsive web design
› Standards + Accessibility compliant email design
› Print ready 4 + spot colour artwork
› Identity refresh and rebranding
› Video post production
› Measurable UI + conversion rate optimisation design
› Not too bad at coding (I done this site all by myself)
› Infographics, UX as standard, cups of tea, client handling, occasional sushi and/or buns

Grab you?

DOODLES FOR MONEY

We all know how this design thingy works: the design that gets signed off isn't always the one that ends up going live.

Nevertheless, I am a designer so that's what I'm reppin', so everything here is how they left me to go on their merry journey towards internetification.

If you'd be so kind as to run your mouse over the thumbnail teasers, you get to have a look at the whole thing presented in glorious technicolor, though unfortunately supermarionation is a bit beyond me.
