ABOUT ME

My name is Christopher Kennedy and I am a 20 year old student at the University of Ulster Belfast, I am studying Interaction Design and I am currently in my first Year.

I am original from a small town called Keady in Armagh and I come from a very creative and artistic family which help me discover my interests in all things art and design.

In my spare time i enjoy sketching, painting and working on personal projects and exploring other areas of art and design that inerest me.

EDUCATION

As a child I was always very creative and always drawing pictures or creating something and taking part in school competitions. I went to a school called St.Francis of Assisi in my home town before then going to my secondary school, St.Patrick high school. It was here that I became even more interested in art and design and I always loved my art classes and learning new art styles and trying new materials that I had never tried before.

I continued my art studies through GCSE's and Alevel's andd built up a portfolio that I would then use to apply for the Art college. I got accepted and started the foundation art course and moved to student accomodation in Jordanstown.

Foudation was a great course and I choose this degree as i was not sure exactly what degree programme I was interested and because I wanted to try new disciplines. At the end of the year I had narrowed down my choices to two degree programmes and in September 2015 i began my new degree, Interaction design.

From the very beginnin I have loved this course and i enjoy learning all the new areas of design, both off screen and on.

PORTFOLIO

Below you can visit my Flickr account and view examples of the work I have created while on my Interaction design degree. At first I designed some work for phone and laptop backgrounds based on point, line and plane, I fully enjoyed doing this as I was then able to use my own work to design my own devices. I also then designed posters and fonts and started learning how to develop web pages with HTML and CSS which I enjoy very much as I love to learn new things and ways to create.
