Welcome to a rough draft of my site. The entire version will be up and running ASAP. As soon as I figure out how I turn an .swf file into something I am able to upload,
and works without any glitches. You will find here: My resume, bio, pictures and samples.
BIOBIOGRAPHY
I am Gerwin van der Velde. My hobbies include all sorts of animation and film,
martial arts: in particular jiu-jitsu, capoeira and wushu styles. In addition, of course art. In whatever way it is used for. Personal production favourites include, Flash, Photoshop, pencil and fineliner. Beautiful styles I think are Polynesian and Celtic tribal, Jugendstil, Impressionism, and other early 20th century Industrial Arts, Symbolism, Classicism and all ways of visually portraying a story.
Culture and history are very important also, for they play a large part in art.
In addition, make us learn NOT to make the same mistakes again.
View on Graphic design
It is a way to fully expand your limits within the restrictions of the goal. From a sender to a receiver, the designer is neither. He/she only chooses the route, not the departure or destination.
Future
After graduating next year with a major in Graphic Design or Visualising, I am planning to study Multimedia. I have always been fascinated by animation and the abilities/restraints of internet publishing. The year after that I would like to travel to South America and South East Asia. I plan on working in South East Asia, as a graphic designer and later on as an Art director. Possibly, conclude my career by becoming a teacher.

Swell piece. Too bad not many people here care for this type of stuff.
ficticious
upper right section is the strongest part in my opinion. something 'bout the lower right ain't agreeing with me... maybe the shades of grey? They seem to want to stand out in comparison to all the hard black and white, but they ain't succeeding really. Dunno how I'd fix it, or even if it needs fixing. Good to see this kind of stuff again. To few and far between since guys like Rohyphnol jumped ship to DevArt...
