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 and all round good dude - if i might say so.
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 no, I do not tweet, yet ;-)
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.

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.
I'm reading this book on a very leisurely pace.

Flip Flop and Away Business cards
Business cards for Flip Flop and Away. I'm really happy with the way they turned out as I haven't done proper print design for a while. Color,. 85x55mm with a touch of UV spot on the back.
Don Barrell Gents branding

Don Barrell Gents are Andy Walker and Lee England, an acoustic guitar duo from Sheffield. I've been friends with Lee for a while and from the first time I listened to him playing with Andy I loved their style. Lee's intricate guitar playing and solos complements Andy fine vocals and superb guitar tapping to make great music. Go check their stuff.

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.

Rachel Williams Personal website
Website done quickly as a web presence for my then girlfriend, now wife. 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.
