[UI Designer / Graphic Designer] Experienced professional graphic designer looking for unpaid or royalty UI experience Thread

I'm a web & graphic designer with four years of professional full-time experience in the advertising industry, and many years of experience as a hobbyist before that. I'm also a passionate, lifelong gamer. I've just transitioned from my full-time agency job to freelancing, and I'd like to use the extra free time this has granted me to gain some experience applying my design skills to the video game industry. My design CV and portfolio are available at dannymcgee.net.

Portfolio pieces are far more important to me than monetary compensation at this stage, so any NDAs I would need to sign must be flexible enough to allow me to show off my work on the project within a reasonable timeframe.

Primary Skills:
I have an intimate working knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator (10+ years of experience), and lots of experience with iconography and website user interface design. I can write very clean, semantic and functional HTML/CSS and have a working knowledge of jQuery. I'm a fast learner, completely self-taught, and I'm excited to learn the new tools and technologies I will need to become a successful video game UI designer (Flash, Actionscript, Scaleform, etc.)

Beyond UI and web design, I have a number of additional skills that could be useful to the right team:

• Logo / Branding / Identity Design
  My years of professional agency experience includes doing logo design and identity development; working with/creating Brand Books; developing trademark styles of visual and written communication for brands
  
• Marketing Collateral / Advertising Campaign Design
  I have professional experience planning, designing, and overseeing full advertising campaigns from concept to implementation
  
• Copywriting / Technical Writing / Narrative Writing
  I have years of experience doing professional ad copywriting; I keep a copy of the Chicago Manual of Style on-hand at all times; I've taken several advanced college courses in screenwriting and narrative storytelling
  
• Professional Experience at a AAA Studio
  I worked as a full-time QA testing contractor for EA Tiburon for about a year before I started my graphic design career; my name is in the credits of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 for Xbox 360 and PS3

Hi Danny

I could definitely use your skills for my game/company www.facebook.com/cadaliononline . Let me know if interested.

I'll send you a pm on modb, since trying to email you on your site only opens outlook.

Hello there! We definitely need you on our team! Currently our game is barreling towards Alpha and pretty soon the only thing that will be keeping us from doing so will be matters in the Art Dept. so we are need Art Developers ASAP and UI designers are one of those highly sought after individuals.
