YOUTUBE CHANNEL
May 2017 - Present
"T Sutton" is the name of a YouTube channel I started in May of 2017 which focuses on new and emerging technology, mostly covering products made by Apple and Microsoft.
​
It is a project I have funded and undertaken myself all in my own spare time, and have thoroughly enjoyed researching, scripting and filming the videos, and has vastly improved my knowledge in the field of computing technology.
​
The channel currently has over 200 subscribers and over 80,000 total views, and I have found it extremely rewarding to watch the channel grow, and receive feedback on my content.
Apple's Design Philosophy from 1984 - 1990
​
This five minute video essay was made as a result of my research and keen interest in design from this time period, and presented as a short narrated video with some humour thrown in too. It was the result of about one month of research and fact checking before the scriptwriting phase was undertaken.

A trip to the Apple Museum in Prague inspired me to make this, with some of the footage in the video being my own recording of this place.

Surface Book 2 Concept
​
This video came about as a result of my keen interest in Microsoft's range of "Surface" devices. It features a lot of my own hand-drawn sketches, and suggests various features that I felt would improve the original product, several of which ended up coming true when the device was unveiled in October 2017.

Microsoft Surface Phone Concept
​
This video features a lot of hand drawn sketches showing what ideas I believe would, and wouldn't work as a phone. I also discuss the importance of software in product release, and raise a few of the issues that I believe led to Windows Mobile's downfall, and eventual discontinuation in October 2017 as stated by Microsoft.

Microsoft Surface Book 2 Early Access
​
In November 2017, I was fortunate enough to attend Microsoft's "Future Decoded" conference held in London, where I got the chance to listen to many very interesting speakers. Among these was Panos Panay, a personal idol of mine, where he unveiled the Surface Book 2 to the UK. I also got a chance to try using the device for the first time, several weeks before it officially went on sale. The video shows my early thoughts on the product during my brief time with it.
How to Use a Surface Book as a Graphics Tablet
​
In this video, I set out to educate users on new and inventive ways to use technology that they own, perhaps in ways that it wasn't originally intended, such as sketching on a tablet with the screen off, while connected to an external monitor. Many people commented that they found this extremely useful, particularly other artists who enjoy sketching. The video shows the use of a largely popular drawing program, Sketchable, the developer of which contacted me after seeing my video, prompting a conversation on Reddit regarding potential improvements that could be made to the app.
These videos are just a handful of those I have created, and the rest can be found at www.youtube.com/tsutton
The channel has helped my improve my presenting skills, which I have found useful when practicing pitches to clients. It has also aided my visual presentation skills, as I gave the channel a set theme which I tried to stick when creating visual effects and thumbnails for the videos. This theme creates a sense of uniformity, helping to make a recognisable brand, something I have also implemented into my design work.
​
I have also set up an Instagram account under the same name to showcase my work.
Microsoft Surface Accessories
​
This video is by far my most popular to date, and it showcases four accessories that can be used in conjunction with Microsoft Surface products including a laptop sleeve, a hidden storage drive and a USB stick ballpoint pen. I was keen to educate people about affordable products I had found from lesser known brands, that they might otherwise have never heard about.

Bose QuietComfort 15 Headphones Review
​
This short video review goes over some of my favourite features and design aspect of a pair of headphones I have owned and used daily for well over 5 years. This is an excellent example of how a product that is well designed can last for a long time, and still hold up with modern competitors, over 9 years after
