Biography
During this biography Kurt Sharp will refe to himself as Draz Kazama.
Draz Kazama's first experience with website design was when his good friend, Chris Williamson made his own site. Draz Kazama was amazaed at Chris's work and decided he wanted to get into website design so he could make his own sites. Although nothing came of it since Draz Kazama did not have the software of even hardware needed. In other words, I had no PC.
Whilst Draz Kazama was taking his GNVQ in ICT whilst attending Leytonstone Secondary School, he was offered the chance to take part in a web site design lesson with other students that were doing well. He accepted ofcourse but was disappointed with what he learned. Blame it on the bad teaching but this put Draz Kazama off website designing due to all the coding that at the time he did not know.
Then 2 years ago or so Draz Kazama recieved a PC, although he had no internet connection so he did not even think about website design. But then to help him with his school work his mother decided to get a ISP which happened to be the dreadful AOL which at the time Draz Kazama liked. Draz Kazama started getting involved in online gaming which lead him to be introduced to gaming giulds or clans. These are basically a group of people that form a group so they have someone they can play with or someone they have something in common with. Draz Kazama found that he was actually extremely good at online gaming so he started getting into better gaming clans. Since these are better gaming clans for the more skilled gamers, they normally have their own site so people can see their achievements in whatever game it is that they may play.
Draz Kazama then formed his own guild which reason for creation is ot of importance but Draz decided that they would need a site to be successful. Draz Kazama started to build the site but realised there was only so much he could do with the tools he had. He began looking at other peoples sites and asked himself how they could do something so creative and great.
Then one of his online friends whom happened to be extremely good with website design aswell as coding got him some good software, Flash MX Professional 2004, Fireworks and Dreamweaver. being the creative person that Draz is he began making drawings, editing, cutting and even designing his own ones. Draz Kazama was then asked by a clan member to make a site or the clan, so Draz Kazama began making images that could be used in a site. Once all the images were created Draz Kazama opened up dreamweaver. Although Draz Kazama wanted to learn from this experience so he decided to use the coding and drop and drag split screen mode. That way he would be able to see what coding does what. Draz Kazama started to learn the coding quite quickly using this self taught method and before he knew it he had finished his clan site.
The clan site was definately ot the best site around but it was a great site for Draz Kazama's second attempt in making a site. Quite a few believed it to be better than most the other clan sites since they all used the templates offered to them with their host.
Draz Kazama soon began to notice near every clan site looked exactly the same, this is when he began to think of making a small website design group that could make sites for the clans so every clan would look unique. Although whilst he was planning this he was asked to create a site for his father whom happens to be a qualified scuba diving instructor. Draz Kazama jumped at the chance and started planning on what to do straight away. After all the design ideas were finalized Draz Kazama created the site. He then noticed that his crew of DJs needed some publicity so he decided they should have their own site aswell. Draz Kazama then decided to create DK-Productionz so that any site created by him would have his mark so people knew were to come if they liked his style.
