Jason Stone is an artist and web designer from Essex who describes himself as 'random, creative and easy-going'. Running his own Design Stuff Daily blog, he also works for 2Dmedia, a nifty little web development company in the countryside of Essex.
Jason got into web design in 2007 after studying various forms of Art & Design, and has been developing his skills ever since. We spoke to Jason to see where he's come from and what he's currently up to...
Tell us about your background…
I have always been creative, whether it's making 'home alone' style traps at home as a kid (sorry mum), painting as a teenager and now web design. I studied Fine Art (specialising in 3D) at colchester institute, then went to the University of Herfordshire to study Special Effects and Model Making. It was here that I decided I ultimately prefer working in 2D and returned to computer graphics.
Tell us about what you do!
I am the Lead Designer for 2Dmedia Limited, a web design and development company based in Essex. I spend my days creating good looking and functional websites, drinking tea, and eating Tangfastics!
What’s your proudest moment so far?

I am inspired by my daily surfing online, and keeping my eyes open as I travel about! I have been inspired by the shape of a car to the colour of the sky one morning...
