Who is Guido de Koning ?
I was born in the South of The Netherlands on the thirtieth of November 1982 in a place called "Sittard" I currently live in the United Kingdom.
How did I get into Interactive Media ?
Growing up I always had an interest in technical and electronical things and at a young age I would always break electronics apart to see what made them work.
Over the years my interest in computers grew, especially when I started to go on-line regularly. Along with that my interest towards graphic design and interface design started to develop as well.
Work Experience
I have worked in a lot of different places including; The Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey and the United Kingdom. Here I have gained first hand experience in on-line design, print design and interface design.
Style
I always design very clean and neat. I can absolutely not stand the thought of making a collage with loads of graphics. There is just no "rest" in that for me personally. I love clean neat graphics and generally like to think that I give a visual impact with a minimalistic design.
Influences
For some reason I have always very much liked corporate styles and love something that really likes commercial. Its just what attracts my attention and what I would love to re-create with my own twist to it.
What tools do I use ?
It depends more on the situation. If a new project requires me to learn a new technique or new piece of software then I will not hesitate to take this challenge upon me. Currently I work a lot with the Adobe software package and to the technical side of my designs I usually use; PHP, MySQL, HTML
Working Process
I always start from scratch and build upon my ideas. I have never started something that I wanted to keep as a design straight away. I always changes everything a million times or more untill I am satisfied with the result.
