About Me

“Hello there, Lewis here.

I’m a 22 year old Web Programmer, Designer and Developer from Leeds-UK.

Welcome to my personal website to showcase my work skills and general life. I am a Web Technologies Bsc Hons Undergraduate studying in Huddersfield. Throughout my time I have worked on web design & development projects as well as working as a freelancer on a number of projects.”

Lewis- The Designer

Although I am a Web Technologies student, I stress to say that I also love designing. I would class myself as a fully capable web designer. Even in the early years before University, I would mess around with drawings and technical designs in the Adobe Creative Suite. Coming to university will just help fine-tune my current skill set.

Lewis- The Programmer

Quite similarly to being a designer, I would also say I have a strong passion for coding and creating web based products. I am starting to gain strength in using text based editors to create and perfect well- written masterpieces.

How I Work

Below are the four main ways in which I work. If I don’t approach every project with each goal, greatness can not be achieved.

Ingenious

I like to be resourceful and invent new ways in which I can complete projects. Whether I approach my work with an Agile method of working or a Waterfall based plan, I use intelligent ways to reach the desired goal.

Innovative

My goal is to not just to provide a simple solution, but to provide a product that really reflects a business. I constantly look at new ways into which web orientated products can be completed.

Creative

As I am not only a programmer but a designer too, design plays a huge part in the creation of a masterpiece. I always research into colour schemes and ways in which design could reflect the the company.

Experimental

I always like to take risks. Unless I think outside the box, there’s really nothing stopping two projects from being similar. I always look for new ways into which the next project could excel from previous ones.

Where It All Began…

I loved technology! I would always play on computers and have a mess around in my free time. Through my young ages, I can only explain it as….something just clicked. I found it weird, yet exciting how the web could show virtual images and a method of searching. I constantly found myself looking at the code and seeing how it all fit together. Through High School, I decided to make IT my passion. We were set constant web design assignments and I would spend all day, all night working on them.

When it came to A-Levels, I took IT further and also studied Product Design. I had the honour of creating an ecommerce website. My teacher was quite old fashioned yet wanted the complete best for me so we created the eStore from just PHP code, a MySQL database and a while loop!. It was there where I made the decision I wanted to take web technologies further.

I am now a Web Technologies Bsc (Hons) Student at The University of Huddersfield and I couldn’t be happier.

On placement year, my Job title was a Web designer within the Grocery eCommerce Activity, Media and Design Team. I sat centrally in the design team and have one of the responsibilities of working closely with the Activity Team. The activity Team manages the Asda groceries site and ensures online promotions are frequent. They work internally and fill in gaps so banners and media changes often. This team also feeds into my Design Team as any media needed was our priority to design. To measure sucess and conversion rates, Decibel Insight was used. The software enabled me to change media to enhance business growth. An example of this would be to put CTA’ above a page fold on a website.

Setting The Scene

Unique Touch Hair Studio is one of Leeds’ most renowned hair salons. Even from a young age I have been visiting the barber shop for a hair cut at least twice a month. Since it was established, the branding has not being upgraded. As a result, the shop front could do with modernising to attract more clients and to appeal to its target audience (Teenagers 13-19) years of age. There is plenty of space on the frontage of the building to advertise the salon and there is also the option of buying some web space to advertise the company. There is no website as yet. The owner (Leroy) advertises business on Facebook and takes bookings via his mobile phone.

Visual Design

Visual Design

Project Description

For my first year Visual Design print assignment, I undertook a campaign against labelling and more specifically terrorism.

A large proportion of the country and even world think its okay to identify people from the Muslim community as being “terrorists” mainly due to the September 11th terrorism acts in America.

After the 9/11 attacks, there was a ton of political unrest and since then there has been many global issues such as racial profiling and rioting.

With my campaign, I aimed to create a large visual way of getting the message across that it is not okay to identify certain people as terrorists just by the clothes that they wear, ethnicity or way they speak.

Team Project- Levron

Team Project- Levron

Project
Description

Levron, will be a product that uses electromagnetism to aid the recovery of Pressure Ulcers on the foot. After strapping on comfortable leg braces which are lined with various metal threads, an electromagnet positioned at the end of a bed will attract the leg brace towards it and in turn levitate the foot due to the angle and magnetic force expelled. In the one week timescale, our team made the brief, a project poster and a physical prototype using a Arduino board

My Individual Process

To Make My Customers Happy…

To manage perfection, I follow my own process.

Research

Research is incredibly important as it allows me to gain and develop an understanding of exactly what business i’m about to venture into. It also helps me to make decisions based on the target market.

Concept

Once research has taken place, I can then draw together a concept…. Exactly what needs to be created and how I will go about creating it. I will design all necessary components and organise my work for completion.

Develop

Once my concept is created, it is here, where I will create the project. Be it a website, a logo, or a graphical artifact, It is here where I create the product.

Test

Testing is one of the most important stages to undertake. Because I strive for perfection, there is no room for error. It is here where I would bug fix and look on further ways to improve or innovate the product.
