About me

Hi, I'm Joseph 'Jo-Jo' McLaughlin! I specialise in art, mainly incorporating a cartoon-style aesthetic into my work, often with comedic appeal.
I had a brief experience of making an animated short film for my GCSE Moving Image Arts class when I was 16, but for the most part, I'm more skilled at making posters, character designs and comic strips, which I do habitually with Adobe Photoshop. Although, my animated short was one of the winners in the 'GCSE Best Animated Film' category in the CCEA Moving Image Arts Showcase 2017.
In 2017, after finishing my GCSEs, I enrolled in the BTEC Level 3 Graphic Design course at Belfast Met (at age 16). After graduating in 2019, I then enrolled in the Level 4 HND (Higher National Diploma) Film course, which I have now also graduated. During that course I have written screenplays, storyboarded and even directed a short student film. Predominantly, I have skills and experience in Graphic Design, Writing, Adobe Photoshop, Storyboarding, Hand-drawing and Digital drawing.
At this point I have not had any jobs or work experience related to my area of expertise, and that's why I'm vastly determined to start somewhere as soon as possible. If you have any need for someone like me, feel free to contact me. Thank you.
