3D的字体设计插画师：Nik Ainley是来自英国牛津的23岁年轻设计师。他的作品经常被为出版商们采用，并在许多杂志、书籍、唱片封套、海报和衣物上使用。他被《Computer Arts》杂志评为”Top 10 up and coming creative talents of 2006″。他被冠于“与抽象零距离”的作品，给人极强想像空间。

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.
