Designer - web. interface. branding/logos / frontend developer - html. css. etc / PARAIBANO - Sheffield - UK
Alright, you got the name. I'm brazilian, from the beautiful NorthEastearn city of João Pessoa. I'm also a journalist by degree but work full time as Senior Web Designer and Front-end developer (that's html & css) in Sheffield, North of England. The place is called Can Studios and we do a lot of e-learning - both Flash and Html based. A bit of a geek sometimes as you'd expect, a lover of good design and Apple computers, sometimes a browser snob :-) (translate it as a hatred of Microsoft browsers) but normally an all round good dude.
Apart from the geeky side of design and computers (and gadgets), I also love BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu), sharks, scuba diving, photography, cinema, comics & animation, illustration, tattoos, travelling (who doesn't love it?) and good quality music. I'll be listing some of the work I do, stuff I've been listening to and reading here, just to keep this site alive.
And yes, I do not tweet.
I've been using Flickr for years now and love it to store and share some of my photos with people near and far, also it's a good way to keep my family in Brazil up to date.

HTML5 for Webdesigners
Jeremy Keith (2010)
Have just started reading this to get my head around HTML5. First book from the guys from of the A List Apart and so far so good. It's not a massive book so I'm not expecting loads of detail or tags to learn, just an introduction to the new specification of HTML. To keep me up to date with the industry.
Kingdom of Fear
Hunter S. Thompson (2003)
I'm a massive fan of Hunter S. Thompson and have been reading his books for a while now, I'm finally getting to read some of his last works. The guy's a legend (not only in Journalism) and has a rightly acquired reputation of crazed road trips, fast living, hard drinking and also a tremendous wit and sense of humour. It's going to be a good one as he takes on more conteporary affairs including George W. Bush.

Most of the samples shown here are personal projects, work done for friends, and a small selection of projects done at work. I'm NOT currently available for freelance.
Tramlines Festival logo proposal
Tramlines is a free music festival in Sheffield and it's in its second edition this year. A friend of mine that was involved in the production told me that they were looking to get a new logo/branding, so I put this logo together on the weekend and sent through. They liked it but decided to stay with the same logo they had and I didn't get my backstage passes. Oh well.

Flip Flop and Away Branding
Branding work done for a website selling stylish brazilian flip flops. Havaianas are a brazilian brand of flip flops an probably the coolest ones to have.

Can Studios website
Website for the company i work for, design and coding by me with the help of my boss with the 3D on the home page main image. I'm quite happy with it and the feedback has been great since launched last year.

Exercise Watermark website
Website done for the Environment Agency, using WordPress as a CMS. EW is a multi-agency flood response exercise that will take place next year. Design & development by me, not an amazing design but one of the few I can show around.

Sheffield Aero Club website
Website design i did a couple of years back for a friend of mine, in exchange for some flights in his light aircraft. I'm still waiting to go on those flights but the site is alive and doing good, nudge nudge Matt! ;-)

Rachel Williams Personal website
Website done quickly as a web presence for my girlfriend. She wanted a website and I managed to get this designed, 'approved' and coded in 24 hours and she was chuffed with the results. It's a bit bare at the moment but she has plans of reviving it sometime in the future.
