How can Creative Media add value to your project, website or work?

Print design

Well-designed matching printed materials will add an edge of professionalism to your message. Paddy works with Photoshop, PageMaker and InDesign.

Web design

A site that doesn’t work is an “un-advert” that will actually work against you. Creative Media sites are designed to be simple, effective, and all about you and your audience. Interactive features are designed to perform the required task, without any confusing extras. They are hand-crafted in html, php and MySQL, with occasional use of JavaScript when needed, ensuring javascript-disabled browsers can still use the site. Content Management systems can be tailor-made to allow you to easily make changes to your site without having to pay for each update.

You’ll also recieve help and advice about the “link building” process. To find out more, read the Creative Media Link Building Guide (PDF file, 31K).

Music

Paddy can write original music for you, and plays violin, guitar, penny whistles, percussion and keyboards/music technology. He has studio microphones and years of recording experience. He can process audio in Apple Soundtrack Pro and Audacity, and sequence MIDI with Cubase VST.

PA and live audio

Paddy has a pair of 400W powered PA speakers (12") and stands, an 8 channel mixer, microphones and digital effects. PA hire can range from an unobtrusive single speaker and mic to boost public speaking, to a full setup for a live band playing in a small/medium-sized venue. A musician himself, he knows the importance of good sound to a performance. Paddy always does the setup, packdown and engineering for PA hire.

Video

Paddy is experienced with one and two camera editing as well as creative uses of photography, using Final Cut Pro, Premiere, MovieMaker and iMovie. He can advise you on how you can add video to your site, and the best way to compress it for web delivery.

Photography

Good photos give you an edge. Paddy works with Canon digital SLRs and professional lenses and has lots of experience in retouching pictures to make a good picture into a great one.

Space design

Paddy’s ideas about “lazy workspaces” may be able to help you. He can help you position equipment to maximise space and minimise risks of aches and pains and “repetitive stress injuries”. He can advise how to reorganise to make the best use of the space, and make it easy to keep things well organised. He can also advise on low-budget and environmental ways to achieve all this.
