Work Background

steve-mccarthy.comFreelance animator, designer and media producer
Jan. 2017Hamburg, GermanyI work across a range of creative fields from song-writing to web design to video production and everything in between. I alternate between providing creative solutions for clients, exploring my own passions, learning new creative outlets and crafting my own art. While my work is primarily split between producing 2D and 3D animations and writing songs, I love to learn and explore new creative outlets. Over the years I’ve learned a bit of photography and videography, games design, various programming languages, scripting, storyboarding, illustration, typography, guitar, drums, violin, piano and a few other things too. I still can’t juggle though.
Careers Media Information Officer
University of SheffieldCareers Media Information Officer
Nov. 2012 - Jan. 2017SheffieldIn this widely varied role I have been responsible for producing a range of content for promotion and information. A major part of this has been producing 2D vector-based animations using Adobe After Effects. As such I have gained extensive experience in the animation process; from scripting, to story boarding, to style framing, to animatics and final production. In 2015 I helped redesign the department's branding. This involved extensive research into our usergroup as well as research into the broader market and the wider specifications of the University. After developing a number of designs, we proceeded with a scheme based on brighter, friendlier colours and simplified line-art illustrations that created a more welcoming and illustrative style which our user group agreed was an improvement on the previous designs. This lead to an extensive redesigning of branded materials in Adobe InDesign and Illustrator. I continue to produce materials for print and screen based on this design. I am also responsible for providing customer service and information to students visiting the service, which includes the regular delivery of interactive workshops in using social media and personal branding in career planning. This has helped me become a confident public speaker, and I particularly enjoy giving engaging presentations that are educational and informative.
