Freelancing is doing what's required, when required.
I've been everything from an extra pair of hands, a creator, a critic, a doer, a manager, developer, illustrator, art-director, designer to a tea maker.
Responsibilities as a Flash Developer
I love Object Orientated ActionScript 3 (OOP), Flash, Flex, HTML and CSS and so I love building things from Websites, applications and mailers. I have been involved in conceptualising, planning, implementing, building testing, and on occasion part of salvage crew for projects which have hit a wobble.
Every now and again I even dream in ActionScript or HTML.
It's a bit sad, I must admit.
Responsibilities as Web Designer
I love all things square - especially pixels, and chocolate brownies. There is nothing more challenging than facing a blank screen or layout pad, or the new version of Photoshop or Flash.
I have been responsible for conceptualising, and designing new sites, revamping old ones, improving usability, creating graphics, illustrations and animations.
Responsibilities as an Animator
I have been asked to work from briefs, story boards or develop my own story boards. Everything is first planned in flow charts before diving into Adobe Suite, which helps keep the animation within brief and within a realistic deadline.
