HELLO and WELCOME to - freelance graphic design! Specialising in CORPORATE IDENTITIES/LOGOSTATTOO DESIGNSMy name is Martin or Slim as some people call me, hense the name 'SLiMDESiGN'!;-). I live in a little town in between Newcastle and Sunderland called washington or washy! I've been living here since 1992/93! I've been designing/drawing since I was little, although I got into more of the computer design aspect of things, when I done my G.C.S.E in 'design & tech' while at Oxclose comp' school in 2004, from then on I've mainly concerntrated on computer design. People who are into computer design, will know I use 'Adobe' software (which i do alot!), I also use Adobe Illustrator alot. I sometimes use Adobe Indesign to finalise booklets/leaflets etc. As I proggressed from starting computer design, I decided to go to college to study graphic design, which i passed the 2year BTEC National Diploma course at Newcastle College. Originally I wanted to go further and go into higher education studying either, illustration, advertising or just plain graphic design, but due to finacial and personal set backs, I decided not to and search for a steady job, and slowly build my freelance buisness up! This helped me with my other big passion in life....Music! I drum for a band called 'self written'(if you havnt heard of us check out the our myspace: myspace.com/selfwritten), which after years of different bands not workin out, I've finally found my home in my music life!!We gig locally so check us out!! I designed the logo for Self Written, just after we got 2gether, which has made it onto our merch, the likes of: hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, badges, keyrings etc. (which im reallt proud of!);) I also designed the covers for the demos we've recorded. The second e.p I designed and produced my very first 6page booklet! Over the years of designing on the computer and drawing occasionally I've recently started designing tattoos. Sketching them on paper then scanning them into the p.c. Mainly all of them are tribal based but I'm always trying to stretch my limits. Hope use have the time to have a look at my designs, from corporate identities to tribal tatts. If you like/dislike what you see please feel free to comment them, gd or bad!....If you you want me to design something for you, I will feel happy to do so in my spare time, free of charge. mainly I'm looking for small businesses, up and cooming bands, that sort of thing. If my work is successfull and if you want me to continue designing for you I happly will for a small fee!Please note: Most of the images have been sampled and copyrighted for the sole basis of legally registering the specific designs to the property of Martin Holmes - SLiMDESiGN - ©Martin Holmes. 2008
