Hello there, I'm

OLLIE BARKER

------- "I MAKE WEB STUFF." -------

AND YOU FOUND MY ONLINE PORTFOLIO!

I’m a Graphic Designer that paints with pixels. I think in 140 characters and create simple, sophisticated and modern designs. Plus I like cookies.

ABOUT - JUST A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE DESIGNER

 
Ok, so maybe I should explain a little more about myself. As stated above my name is Ollie Barker (technically Oliver but it always sounds like I’m in trouble when people call me that) and I’m a graphic and web designer from the UK. Specifically a small town in the Yorkshire Dales called Pateley Bridge.

I started off using a rubbish dial-up connection that downloaded 20mb around every 2 hours. Yes, it’s very remote. Straight from the off however I was hooked to the web. Remember geocities? I was there.

I progressed up through basic forum signatures to designs for print. Over time I acquired a decent knowledge of HTML and CSS, thanks to the view source button in most browsers, that allowed me to make the transition from print to the web. To date I create effective, sleek websites and beautiful designs while focusing on the newer web technologies including HTML5 and CSS3.
