Joshua Pritchard
MA Communication Design
I am a recent MA Communication Design graduate, specialising in illustration, 2D Animation, Vector Animations, and 3D Animation and modelling. I come from a background in freelance illustration, with some minor experience in graphic design as well. I enjoy creating digital comics, a skill which I developed during my first module, which then progressed into moving image. I specialise in conveying motion, creating powerful keyframes, storyboarding, and implementing cinematography techniques into my animated and digital comic work. Throughout this course I have honed my expertise in software including: Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Clip Studio Ex, and Blender.
I have a background in traditional martial arts and an enthusiasm for action-choreography which I believe helps me to create more impactful and memorable sequences and keyframes within my animations. My time spent in the life-drawing society has given me an understanding of anatomy to go with this. Meanwhile, as someone well travelled globally, I have a lot of real-life references to draw upon for environmental design.
