I have over ten years’ experience creating concept designs and final graphic asset packs for online slot games, including concepts, symbols, logos, background images, animations, UI iconography, and promotional/marketing assets. I work with an organised workflow to meet set deadlines. I produce initial sketches for submission, high-resolution graphic assets, original fonts, layouts/backgrounds, and UI designs. I also use AI art tools (Midjourney/ChatGPT) to help finalise designs and generate final renders for slot game graphic components, and I produce 2D animations using Spine software. I also create custom illustrative artworks on varied mediums and in differing styles to suit the clients. This can be for book or album cover/interior designs, character art, concept illustration, cards, personalised cartoon avatars and tattoo designs.
