ABOUT
ABOUT ME
I'm Mark Reilly and I'm based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I'm 27 years old and currently study Digital Art and Design at Edinburgh College. I have a passion for creative design and I am always looking to better my skills in the industry. In my free time I enjoy working on my own personal projects and taking photographs around the city of Edinburgh. (I also can’t say no to tickets for the hibees either!)
WHAT I DO
I study full time in Computer Arts and Design. I am currently taking commissions to not only ensure I have an understanding of the industry and prepare me for my career post education. I offer my skills as as a creative designer and graphic designer. I primarily work using Adobe Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, Animate, and Premiere Pro
WHAT I OFFER
I'm available to accept commissions for a variety of different design requests.
I'm available for poster design, logo design, website design, graphic work, illustrations, photography, video editing, and animations for online use.

CREATIVE PROCESS
Step One...
For each project I take on, there are several creative steps I follow to ensure that I am getting the most out of my skills for each piece of work I turn my hand to.
Before I put pen (or pencil or stylus) on paper, I will research the internet, galleries, and the outside world for inspiration on my project. I will collate what i have found and play around with different ideas for the project.
​
I will get as many ideas down in a sketch book as I can think of before I move on to the next step..
Step Two...
The best thing to do to kick off Step 2 is start by reviewing everything I've put down on paper so far. Out of everything I have put down, I will choose 3 or 4 designs that I feel are relevant to what I am working on
​
Once I have chosen the designs that I'd like to take forward, I will have some fun experimenting with what I have done so far. I will try different materials and explore different avenues to work out what I feel suits the project the most.
​
This will leave me with a good idea of what my final design will look like and I can begin the final part of my process.
​
​
​
​
Step Three...
Once I have the idea for the final design, I will make several mock ups digitally and understand what is the best way progress my work to match my vision of the final project.
​
Once i have the finalised design, I will begin the fine tuning of my work. I will print my work off at the size it will be displayed so that I can see what it looks like and tweak and areas to make the presentation as polished as possible.
​
Finally, after I have evaluated the physical of my copy and all the fine tuning is completed. I will then be in a position to present it to the client.
