Hi, my name is Rob Palmer, I am 26 and I am a web & graphic designer based in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. I started designing and drawing from a young age and most of my design skills and knowledge are self taught. I moved in to digital media while doing my Multimedia Design Course at Newcastle College. On the course we learnt a range of skills and software including Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, QuarkXpress, Cinema 4D, Flash, typography, future trends, new media and advertising.
