About

This is the home of Thomas Brasington.

I am studying Graphic Design (info design) at the London College of Communication. I have just finished my second year and now preparing for my third year.

This site is a mixture of the work I do there, photography that I do for leisure and my web design work is for my living.

I sometimes write blog entries. (I also contribute to Type Neu worth checking out if you love design/type.)

I am skilled in the use of PHP & MySql along with XHTML & CSS. I prefer to use mootools for my javascript work. I specialise in coding outside of the box. The majority of my sites are powered by my content management system allowing the user to easily manage their content. I however do not believe that a site that requires a strict structure for layout should be limited. For example this page is loading images from my database. Traditionally it would be loaded into a grid. However the code here is smart and works out the size of the image then repositions the code accordingly to give this constant changing layout.

Site background

Back in late 2005 the design of my site featured me holding up an A1 piece of paper in that clichéd manner with the site content forming on the paper.

Anyway it has become a running joke with our tutors and course. So with this version I am simply holding up myself. I am the design.
