Freelance Graphic & Web Design | |

 My name is Vanessa Fraser, this website was created to share my life's work. I'm an artist and freelance Web | Graphic Designer in Brantford Ontario Canada, and graduate of Graphic Design Production at Mohawk College Brantford Campus. I love the richness and challenge of oils, and many of my paintings are intended to bring out what is deep inside my mind, with the hopes of also reflecting what was deep inside the viewer's mind as well. As an artist, it is also important to me to be known as a Black Canadian artist and I am proud that my hard work will also contribute to my heritage. I have a solid view of my future goals and I feel it's a promising and rewarding career, and in many ways I have already made some great achievements fairly early. I am considered visually impaired but I don't find it to be a hindrance, I think I do quite well...you be the judge. To me, my art isn't simply born from my eyes alone, even if observation must be taken more carefully. It brings an opportunity for more creativity. I also listen, smell and feel even in a spiritual sense all that makes itself known to me. And when I attempt a painting, often those senses will show through in my work. I've heard many times viewers comments, such as "you can almost taste the strawberries." |
What can I say, I love design. Currently I work on an iMac using Adobe CS2. When you take a look at my portfolio you might notice that it's quite compact and not loaded with sample after sample of endless designs. The best reason for that is because I work primarily in the all encapsulating and time consuming world of fine art. Yes, I also love art. I am looking forward to one day dedicating myself to the right design company, but for now graphic design for me is currently 'freelance' and I strive to make every design as valuable as possible to those that hire me, because it allows me to continue working from home in my art studio! :)
And speaking of spiritually satisfying, I have also been known to create a design or small website voluntarily or for trade, especially lately in these hard times. No I'm not a nutter (well maybe just a little), these are very careful decisions. It's just that every once in a while I meet someone special who has all the potential in the world, but little budget. And who would understand that more than I. I enjoy building websites with Macromedia Dreamweaver in XHTML using tables. Every site I create tends to be one-of-a-kind with custom graphics and colors of my clients choice. I also prefer to use SSI (server side include) rather than frames. Frames are not very 'Google friendly' and will hamper your site ranking. |
