Welcome
Hi there, this is the online presence of web and graphic designer David Trindade.
1 Paraibano on the sentence above means a native from Paraiba, where I come from in NE of Brazil. I've been living in England for nearly 8 years, I'm a journalist by degree, and a full time designer. Apart from the geeky side of design and computers (and gadgets), I also love scuba diving, photography, cinema, comics & animation, illustration, travelling (who doesn't love it?) and good quality music.
I'll be listing some of the stuff I like, stumbled upon, been listening and reading here, just to keep me on my toes. Hope you like checking this out.
Work
At the moment I work at Can Studios as a New Media Designer with a great bunch of people and really like my job. We're working with e-learnig materials for primary school students in some quite cool projects to be released in the near future. More on this soon.
I used to work mostly with websites, designing, coding and building them by hand. Using good html and css standards, semantic mark-up and all that. These days I'm working mostly with Flash based animation and interface design - for Whiteboard materilas, CD-Rom and whatever is needed. Ilustration is becoming more important in my work as well as animation and icon design.
Other Stuff
Photography
Prague/Praga
Some shots from a quick city break in Prague, Czech Republic. Beautiful city and great architecture. The people were very friendly and contrary to belief it wasn't full of stag do's and hen parties. Go and visit it.
Reading
Never Trust a Rabbit
Jeremy Dyson
Decided to go for something different this time. I've just started on this collection of short stories with a twist from one of the League of Gentleman writers.
Junky
William S. Burroughs
A very honest and brutal account of heroin addiction in America in the 40s seen through the eyes of one of the most influential writers (well, at least for the beats). Very good read but I need to try something better from Burroughs.
Still, I love low-life novels.

Trindade translate from portuguese as trinity:
The word Trinity comes from the Latin noun Trinitas, meaning the state or condition of being three, or a group of three persons or things. The first recorded application of this Latin word to Father, Son and Holy Spirit was by Tertullian in about 200. The Greek term with the same meaning, has given the English word triad. The Sanskrit word, Trimurti, has a similar meaning.
