Nik Ainley is a UK based web designer who also has a passion for producing personal art and illustrations. After teaching himself Photoshop in his spare time while gaining a degree in physics at Imperial College London, he has since moved into full time web design. He is constantly trying to further his expertise in digital media, and won't stop until he has mastered all the tools he needs to fully realise his designs.
Shinybinary was first launched in 2004 as an online presence for Nik. Version 1 has since been hugely succesful - clocking up almost a quarter of a million unique visitors. Version 2 has followed as a complete redesign to further this success. The site is still young and Nik has grand plans for its future development.
As a designer, Nik has been receiving more and more exposure, his work featuring in several magazines as well as on book covers, posters and clothing. He was listed as one of the 'Top 10 up-and-coming creative talents of 2006' by Computer Arts magazine, and his work has appeared at the 2006 OFFF exhibition in Barcelona.
In the future Nik expects to continue his work both on and offline, while trying to satisfy his huge appetite for mastering new tools and techniques. Things are going to get even shinier.
Shinybinary Version 2 Launched!
After many months of hard designing, coding, writing and slacking off playing pointless Flash games, version 2 is finally here. It's a fairly radical change in style from version 1, and I know some people will miss the nature orientated look that has come to be associated with this site. However change is nearly always a good thing, and I am happy with the direction I have taken things in.
I hope you enjoy it, and look forward to any feedback you might want to send me. Phew I think I've earned a bit of a lie down.
