Hi, my name is Richard Marsden.

Thanks for dropping by.

I am a freelance designer, available for hire, with 13 years experience working in the web design and video games industries.

My portfolio includes 'triple A' games such as Motorstorm (PS3), Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights (PS2, PSP) and World Rally Championship 4 & 5 (PS2). I've also created online promotions for many music artists, such as Kylie Minogue, Whitney Houston, Christine Aguilera, Justin Timberlake and the Stereophonics. My recent portfolio includes much work from the literary world, including authors Iain Banks, Linda Grant, P. C. and Kristin Cast, Andrea Cremer, Michael Cobley, Robert Jordan, Trudi Canavan and Glenda Larke.

My specialties include Website Design (HTML, CSS, Wordpress, Flash, Banner Adverts),
User Interfaces and Motion Graphics (2D and 3D animation).

Anything else you want to know about me? I hail from Preston and now live in Cheshire. I love my 20 year old mountain bike (suspension is for wimps). I still have my decks from when I used to DJ but they are gathering dust in the loft. My Xbox 360 is horrendously underused. I support Preston North End FC and suffer from bouts of depression (usually around 5pm on a Saturday). I like real ale but don’t have a beard. I am allergic to pollen, milky tea, weak coffee, reality television, celebrity magazines and Simon Cowell. I really don’t like posing for ‘About Me’ pictures. See, look at me there. I’m usually not that miserable. Usually.
