Hi!
I'm
Neil
Monteiro
I'm a
Graphic
Designer
I love to create interesting and original designs for anything from logos, leaflets and wedding stationary to educational toys and animations!
I've worked for a number of clients in and out of science, notably for the Royal College of Science for their national science essay competition.

I don't just design for science though, I produce bespoke work for almost any application for both print and web. I specialise in clean, modern looking designs that are made to stand-out.
Science
Communicator
I give talks and run workshops on all things science-ish (my big favourites being astronomy and particle physics) for both adults and children.
I have a degree in Physics from Imperial College London and now work running regular schools events at the Reach Out Lab there. If you're interested in upcoming events, take a look at the Imperial College website or www.exscitec.com.

I'm always looking for a chance to show how science is important in unexpected places - for example, the animation on this webpage actually has to use Kepler's second law of planetery motion to work!

Hunter
I took a science holiday out to Norway this month and packed along my 30 year-old Canon AE-1 Program. I've not been into photography long so it was a big surprise when I got the negatives back and this image had come out!
We were pretty lucky to have seen any lights at all - it turns out that although this time of year has the most auroral events it's also the worst month for cloud cover.

Fortunately, our one clear night happened to coincide with a nice showing - although it didn't impress the couple we were staying with!
Web
Developer
I design and develop clean, bold and dynamic websites from single page personal blogs to complex web applications.
I specialise in producing dynamic web sites using Javascript libraries and AJAX techniques, allowing for complex functionality and automation to be build right into the site. I do all of the design so the final product will always look exactly like the mock-ups you're given.

Most of my websites run on MySQL databases with a PHP interface - this combination can be harnessed to give you a site that's easily editable within a simple, bespoke editor interface.
