about
Alt Visions is a creative outlet for Louisville designer Patrick Hill. It functions as a showcase for my portfolio and as well as a place for me to toy around with new web design techniques. I have a degree in the hard sciences and I'll be graduating with a degree in Communication Art & Design from the University of Louisville in May.
I ended up in the design field after I was exposed to it for the first time at my first job out of college. Even after graduating, I was still unsure about a career direction but design hooked me immediatley. I started teaching myself and decided pretty quickly that I should go right back into school to learn as much about design as I possibly could. I've now been working in art/interactive design at Red7e for the past couple years while I finish up the last bit of my degree. If you're interested in hiring me for a project or just want to find out more about what I do, read on below.
What the _____ does Alt Visions mean?
Alt can be altered or alternative. The vision part simply means sight, perspective, or a viewpoint. Together they represent a goal for me; something to strive towards. That is, I do my best to approach projects or anything in life with an open mind so that I can see things from a different, unique standpoint. This helps tremendously with the deconstruction and solving of problems, which is the crux of what it means to design.
Services
At my core, I just like pushing myself to try and create interesting, functional designs. I love working in traditional print as well as interactive design but I find myself exceptionally drawn towards the ever evolving web.
So, what kind of stuff can I make?
Well to be more specific, I design websites, mobile apps, brochures, ads, logos, information graphics, posters, packaging, basically whatever I can get my hands on. To be more technical, I know HTML and CSS very very well; I'm proficient in Javascript, Flash, and PHP (mainly in relation to Wordpress); I'm in the process of learning 3D modeling; and I know quite a bit about the technicalities of photography.
