Welcome
Welcome to the online portfolio of Niall McKenna.
I am a graduate of BSc Interactive Multimedia Design
Interactive Multimedia Design;
'The degree develops skills in the application of information technology, computer-based interactive multimedia including practical creative skills and a theoretical understanding of the complex interplay of social, economic, psychological, technical and aesthetic issues which underpin the subject.'
As the word 'multimedia' would suggest, it can cover a multiple range
of platforms, including, web and graphic design, video game, television
and video production to name but a few. I
have an interest in all aspects of multimedia but especially in web & graphic design
as this is the career route I would like to pursue
I am a Web and Multimedia Designer and developer from Omagh, Co. Tyrone, Northern Ireland. I specialise in User Interface Design and Development, building clean, appealing, and functional interfaces for both the Internet and other multimedia formats.
I design with Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, and Flash. I code sites with XHTML and CSS, using a little of JavaScript, Actionscript, PHP, and a lot of Usability, Accessibility, and Web Standards.
Anyway, that’s the introduction completed, so please feel free to browse my website, and if you wish to get in touch, you can do so via the form below or any of the additional ways listed on the contact page.
Many Thanks, Niall.
What I've Been Up To Lately
I'm currently living and working in Leeds/Wakefield, England as a web and E-Learning applications designer with Xperience GB Ltd. where I am currently heading the web design and build team, and I also carry out HTML/CSS and Flash work on the E-Learning projects.
This post has also allowed me to learn some server side web development in the form of ASP.NET with C#. Hopefully before long I'll be able to use this skill on a project.
The New Web Site
If you've visited this URL before then you will be aware of the major changes. Low and behold I have finally found the time to design a new Web Site for myself.
As a freelance web designer I can offer you affordable quality web designs bespoke to your business and it's needs. If you're not in the know about computers, Web Sites and the Internet, then simply contact me to find out whats best for you or your business. I can offer static HTML Web Sites or HTML Web Sites with intergrated Flash components similar to the one you are viewing. If you need your Web Site to stand out with lots of tricks and gimmicks, then a Flash based Web Site may suit you... All of which can be accomodated. E-commerce or CMS (Content Management Systems) development can also be catered for. I design websites of a high standard, ensuring that every website is designed with usability and search engine optimisation in mind.
