BTEC Digital Graphics

I'm teaching two units (out of four) on an IT BTEC - Games Development, and Digital Graphics. The overal theme of the course is video games, so for a tutorial in Adobe Illustrator I got the students to design a clan logo for an online FPS.

The demo below is for a team called "Frag Out", based on the military expression.

BTEC Games Development

Just started teaching on a BTEC IT - Games Development course at RACC in Richmond. I'm handling the half of the course relating to games design and digital graphics. The students seem enthusiastic about gaming, and we'll be covering a wide range of exercises using Photoshop and Illustrator CS5, and 3DS Max 2011.

In my other life as a keen seller on eBay, I'll also be teaching a bunch of courses related to buying and selling on everyone's favourite auction site.
