October 2015 - December 2016
As a graphic designer my prime responsibilities were to create new marketing material and develop original designs
for print and digital advertising campaigns. I create graphics and finished art work in multiple formats for print, and digital
display. This is usually achieved by either a face-to-face meeting with the client, a questionnaire, or creative brief. After
reviewing the materials given, I begin the research for the project. This phase usually consists of looking at current trends,
as well as history of the type of project, and what the future may be for the project. Next I come up with my strategy.
This includes sketching, mind mapping, storyboarding, mock layouts, etc. In doing this, I can develop several different
concepts, and choose the most viable option to proceed with. Next, I present a rough draft to the client to review and
provide feedback. Finally, I make any changes required by the client and resubmit it for approval. After approval, the
project is then ready for production.
