Welcome to Ten to Midnight, my online portfolio of the work i've done within website and graphical design over the last ten years or so.

Why Ten to Midnight?
The original idea behind the name of Ten to Midnight was due to this being the time I would usually start to pack up and go to bed after working on a website, however after changing to a late shift in my main job, it became the time i'd thinking about going home and doing a little bit of design work before bed.

I've been creating graphics and websites for over ten years and have produced works for musical artists, gaming clubs, schools and colleges, businesses and private enterprise. I've enjoyed every moment of it and I have enough knowledge to allow for some very creative ways of presenting the information required in a professionally and graphically pleasing way.

My first love has and always will be graphics design, with the aid of software packages such as Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Flash, i've been able to create stunning artwork for many purposes, from t-shirts and mousepads for fan sites and gaming clubs to bench art and fan boothe designs at the Country Music Association's Fan Festival in Nashville, USA. The coding aspects usually come second to this, however I love a challenge and can create pretty much anything, if I don't know how to do something, give me a few days and i'll have it all figured out. I've created everything from news systems and photo galleries to time and personnel management systems. Who knows what else I could create in the future, it's always exciting to find the new challenges and ways of working.

Who is James Scott?
What can I say really, as you know my name is James Scott I'm 26 and I live in the North East of England in a place called Darlington, for those who believe they know the name from somewhere and can't remember where from, it's possibly because of the Stockton and Darlington Railway. As I mentioned before I have a love for photography so whenever I'm out and about I always try to have my camera with me and take photos of anything that catches my interest, I've included some of my favourite photos within the gallery, along with graphical work I've done over the years.

I love music and movies, whenever I work I'm either watching a film, a DVD or listening to music, I've always found this helps me concentrate and work on projects or artwork. I love listening to all kinds of music though like everyone I have my favourites, which I would say include Kate Rusby, Billy Gilman, The Corrs and Tina Turner. Just like with music, I have many movie favourites too, I would say some of the most memorable of these are Demolition Man, Fifth Element and The Postman.
