About

My name is Jason Wan a Digital Designer from Wakefield, West Yorkshire.

I studied at the University of Huddersfield, where I received a 1st Class Honors in Interactive Multimedia. During my final year I entered a brief for D&AD for lastminute.com where my work was chosen to be featured in the 30th Student Annual.

  • Me

    In my years of study I have developed into an important member in my group assignments and manage my time effectively to meet deadlines.

     

    Coming from a Multimedia background, I was taught many different software and techniques to enable me to perform in many different areas in 3D animation and programming, as the industry is always growing.

     

    Other interest include being a fan of Leeds United, drawing and playing with my collection of Nintendo consoles.

  • Inspiration

    I also have a love for illustrations, I can not write on a piece of paper without doing some kind of doodles and am constantly thinking of new and interesting characters that I can bring to life through the computer.

     

    I take a lot of my inspirations from animation. I am a big fan of all types of animation, I enjoy watching Japanese animation to any past or present cartoon shows today.

    Here are just some of my favourite things that I take inspiration from:

     

    Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends
    Gorillaz
    Marvel
    Cowboy Bebop
    Studio Ghibli
    Banksy
    Kidrobot
