03/2010 Ã’¢ï’¿’½ï’¿’½ 05/2010 | ALLTERN8 WEB-DESIGN, CHICHESTER, HAMPSHIRE | Graphic Designer: Freelance position.

After leaving One2create, I immediately accepted an initial one-month temporary contract as a Web Designer for Alltern8. Once I had started however, due to the quality and consistency of my work, I was asked to stay on until the project back-log the company had generated was cleared.

09/2007 Ã’¢ï’¿’½ï’¿’½ 02/2010 | ONE2CREATE, WICKHAM, HAMPSHIRE | Media Producer: Full time position.

Since joining the company in September 2006 I have seen One2create grow from a team of 6 to a team of 20 and this is in part due to the consistent succession of high quality work I have produced. Although my main role in the company is to first and foremost produce any multimedia projects that the company brings in, I have in fact been designated all the projects commissioned by the companyÃ’¢ï’¿’½ï’¿’½s biggest and most respected clients. These projects have demanded a wide set of skills as they have encompassed all aspects of graphic design and multimedia production from print and web design to video production and sound editing.

Major Projects

BT Fleet Brand Refresh and Brochure and Advert Design

For this project I was entrusted with initially proposing ideas for a refresh of the BT Fleet corporate identity. Following that my task was to then design both a sales brochure and a set of product sheets, as well as devise a custom folder to package both items. For the brochure proposal, I created 6 separate concepts complete with copy taglines and ideas for ensuing marketing opportunities. After the brochure was designed, approved and printed, I created a series of trade publication adverts in the same design style and tone.

One2create Website Design and Brand Refresh

Due to the proven quality of my work, I was selected to undertake the task of developing and improving the studioÃ’¢ï’¿’½ï’¿’½s brand identity along with creating an entirely new website for the company. Once a design had been approved, I directed and shot the entire catalogue of photographic images for the site. Thereafter I assisted with creating the final site in HTML and CSS.

National Car Rental and Europcar Wow Presentation

My initial role within this project was to design the front-end UI for a Director and Flash powered multimedia presentation-builder application. However alongside this task I was also required to shoot and edit a complete library of custom videos and motion graphic animations to be used within the program.

Luna Remarketing Brochure Design and Website Design and Creation

After starting my relationship with Luna by creating a small sales brochure and set of corporate stationary items, I have since been selected to design and build an e-commerce site for the company. I am currently in the process of creating a vast selection of HTML
and CSS templates that will be given extra database functionality by the firmÃ’¢ï’¿’½ï’¿’½s in-house development team.
