About Bob Marshall
I am a freelance multimedia designer, developer and digital artist based near Edinburgh in Scotland. I started my business under the trading name of BMMedia in 2002.
My background and past experience is in television and video production. For over six years prior to 2002, I was part of a small creative team with one of Scotland's leading video production companies. It was here that I began working and specialising in the production of professional-end multimedia projects and video programmes, several of which won major international awards.
In 2002 I switched to working on a freelance basis under sub-contract with several design agencies and publishing houses. Since then I have built up a large portfolio of projects and clients and accumulated a wealth of experience developing powerful multimedia presentations to service the demanding requirements of organisations in the corporate and educational sector.
I continue to operate BMMedia as a close network of freelance designers and consultants, each highly skilled in different aspects of modern media including design, script-writing, application programming and audio visual equipment installation.
Skills
I have expert knowledge of most of the Adobe Creative Suite Software packages including: Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Premiere, After Effects, Flash and Director.
I use a variety of different tools for web design and multimedia project development. In most cases I am comfortable and efficient at hand-coding XHTML, XML, ASP/VBScript, CSS, ActionScript 3 and Lingo. I have some intermediate knowledge of PHP and ColdFusion.
I use a vast array of software and plugins for producing 3D content but my usual program of choice is Blender. Quite apart from being very powerful open-source software, I have actively supported its continuing development and I regularly write and submit tutorials and articles intended to help other 3D artists get to grips with this very capable program.
“I take great personal pride and satisfaction in providing my clients with stunning, yet cost-effective visual communication solutions which meet the highest possible standards while remaining at the forefront of technology and innovation.”
