Chameleon
Design began as the name for my freelance
business around 1988. I chose the name whilst studying
Illustration and Graphic Design at Edinburgh College
of Art.
'Chameleon' suited the nature of the business, with its
association to colour, vision and being adaptable to
changes.
I've always loved
art and enjoy working in different mediums; illustration,
graphic design, photography, digital imaging and painting.
I sometimes even make porcelain figurines.
Since 1996 I have mainly been working on websites where
I try to apply my artistic eye to create aesthetically
pleasing as well as functional websites.
My first website, chameleon-arts.com, was
launched in 1996 and it is still going strong. It's a
portfolio site displaying a number of professional artist's
work from a wide range of ceative disciplines such as;
Painting, Illustration and Photography etc..
It is also an on-line gallery, a permanent exhibition
where artists can exhibit and sell their work on-line
and/or accept commissions all
year round.
This site, chameleon-design.co.uk,
features entirely my own work, including my back folios
and current projects. It is also as a useful tool for
myself to visually communicate with clients and it provides
a means for them to access and view their work in progress.
As well as working
for a number of clients, I also design and manage a number
of my own websites.
Royal-Mile.com was
launched in October 2005. The-Grassmarket.com was
set up as a springboard into Royal-mile.com
but it is now a separate site which connects seamlessly
to Royal-Mile.com which,
in turn, links to Princes-Street.com and
on to Edinburgh-RoseStreet.com,
George-Street.com connecting
Edinburgh's Old and New Towns. This means that everything
within a large section of Edinburgh's City Centre is
now accessible on-line and all businesses can partcipate
by buying low cost links directly to their own websites.
Later I was commissioned
to design a similar site for London's prestigeous Beauchamp
Place in South Kensington and most recently
I have designed a site for another of Edinburgh Associations, Bruntsfield
Place.
As creating the above sites involved taking a lot of
photographs, I have gathered a large collection of Edinburgh
Photos and so to showcase the best of these I launched EDINBURGH-PHOTOS.COM Allowing
me to show images from all over Edinburgh. It is excellent
P.R. For the city.
All these sites will continue to grow, evolve and improve
over time and I hope you will enjoy browsing through
them.
