The portfolio forMatt Thompson
Hi. My name’s Matt, I am based in England (South East), and I have a love for Graphic Design and Photography.
I am always learning new techniques and software to improve myself and my skills in my own time, and although past education and employment has helped me, I am actively always learning as software and my inspirations evolve! I love to work with Adobe Suite, throughout its wide range of applications, and am proficient in doing so.
I am a very organised person, that is probably a bit over the top when it comes to detail. Little things can make a big difference after all! I am a human though, and do get out …! I am a big sports fan, and love animals and exploring new places. I like to think I am a kind person that is always willing to help other people out.

~ Graphic Design and the creation of visually appealing material for web or print is something I love to do, in both employment and in my own time, whether it be creating multi-page spreads in InDesign, creating logos and vector artwork in Illustrator, or experimenting with effects and using my imagination in Photoshop.
~ Photography (shooting RAW!) is something I love to do and practice. I do not tend to have a style, and like to experiment, whether it be working with long exposures, portraits or shooting minimilistic/black and white photography based on composition. I am always thinking of how to shoot in new ways whilst trying different lenses, and how to use light, shadows and objects to my advantage to create great photos, as taking the shot is only the beginning!
Video is also something I like to dabble in when not shooting or doing my usual work!
