Welcome to my personal web page.
My name is Hugo Mineiro Rodrigues, I am 26 years old currently living in the UK, but am originally from Lisbon Portugal. I am presently working as a Graphic/Web Designer at the Edinburgh University.
This website contains a sample of the work that I developed from 2004 to the present. I began developing websites in 2000 as a hobby where I tested the knowledge gained in the Multimedia Engineering Course. In the mean time I began developing freelance, focusing on flash-based websites.
This then lead me to Edinburgh in 2005 when I started producing print work, based on my experience at the ECA Graphic Design Course.
However this was as well a time of media expansion after the 3dstudio Max 8 and Flash Mx 2004 application development course I started to do animations for such company's as Price Waterhouse Coopers.
- You can see my first project at ECA here: Presenting Myself 2005
- My CV is also available here: CV 2008
- My Photos are available here.
Currently I am pursuing a more user-focused perspective on website and animation. How do the users view and use it? How do we improve the users experience, simultaneously providing the same level of experience through the widest possible audience? This is why I am currently enrolled in the second year of Computing and Design Part Time course.
"Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple. "
Edward de Bono
I have been developing websites since 2000. The majority have been developed using flash, however this past year I have used primarily HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP and MYSQL.
