MySpacea place for friends

My name is Chris Porter, and I am a web designer and music producer out of Cleveland, Ohio. I'm a "senior" at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, going for my bachelors in Web Design & Interactive Media.

I've been doing web design for the past ten years and have helped many small companies and individuals improve their web presence over the years. I'm very strong in XHTML and CSS, while I'm still working on my Javascript, PHP, .NET, and Actionscript 3 skills.

I also have a very great design style, which deals with a lot of lighting effects and energy, which can be trendy yet kind of new and different. I can also do the very trendy "web 2.0" style as you can say, and also can do other styles such as super clean, typography heavy, grungy, collage, and elegant. If you want illustrated stuff, I've got people for that!

As for music production, I'm trying to sway away from the trendy or generic style of rap tracks you hear now, lots of brass and synthesizer sounds. I would like to have more of a DJ Toomp style, something different, but can definitely give you a hit single, but I still have a lot of work to do on my skills. I'm a big sample head, but I'm "relearning" how to play the piano so I can get back on to composing music.

For now, my style of production is that "Southern Hip Hop". Can be very soulful, but still have the grunge or bounce to it. With a lot of roots to horrorcore/death rap (eg. Evil Pimp, Triple 6 Mafia), I've came a very long way to how I produce today.

Now to cut things short, because I've felt I've talked way too much, down to business. I'm available for hire for web design, graphic design and as of right now, I'm only selling pre-made tracks since I'm in the process of building a new PC.

My work can either be found through my photos (coming soon), or go to poolpimp.deviantart.com/gallery. If you are interested, please email me here on Myspace or at general@heatedgfx.com
