Steve Medows – Sony Playstation

Stephen Meadows graduated from BA (Hons) Graphic Design (Interactive Media) in 2008 and this summer was interviewed by prominent web, TV and interactive media designer Paul Wyatt for the specialist magazine .Net.

Stephen was headhunted by Sony during the New Designers show in 2008, whilst exhibiting his project ‘Wall of Me’. He told Paul “The concept was to transport Facebook to a physicalised wall, a 1990s bedroom covered in your favourite posters. I wanted to combine the benefits of digital media with the aesthetic of traditional media. It was designed in Flash and controlled with a Nintendo Wii controller.”

Stephen works for Sony Playstation as a Flash Artist for the EyePet game.
