I'm Colin Maxwell and I teach Photography and Graphic Design at Carnegie College in Scotland. I am an Adobe Education Leader and I specialise in creating animation, games and interactive websites with Flash. I also use Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator in my classes and for projects. Check my portfolio!
It's the summer holidays, but on return to college I'll be teaching a whole lot of new subjects from the new NQ Art & Design and HN Interactive Media frameworks, so I'll be spending a bit of time keeping up to date with new technologies. Things I will be looking at are Actionscript 3, using Flash with various API's - Twitter, Flickr, etc, and also Augmented Reality.
On the leisure front, I recently bought Orange Box, and will be continuing my way through the various games in the bundle. Really enjoyed Portal, and am hoping the portal gun may make a reappearance soon, perhaps in Episode 3 of Halflife 2 - that would be WAY cool.
