I am a hardworking graphic designer/artworker making use of my honours degree and an experienced user of all standard design software. I acquired administrative and editorial skills working in an editorial team producing a community magazine. I have also worked freelance for several design companies. I can work both as part of a team and from home.

Key Skills:

Graphic design skills: My experience covers all aspects of the editorial design of book jackets, magazines, brochures and advertisements, directing photo-shoots, and liaising with printers. I am familiar with all aspects of magazine production, including working to very tight publication deadlines.

Computer Skills: I am an experienced user of Apple Mac, and am thoroughly familiar with Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator, Indesign, QuarkXpress, MS Word, and PowerPoint.

Administration skills: Organising, liaising with clients and staff employees, prioritising workloads and meeting project deadlines. Working closely with other members of the staff/editorial team involved in the events, and taking on delegated tasks. Preparing, printing all literature and editorial briefs for editorial meetings.  Communicating with the editorial staff and magazine contributors regarding articles and photos submitted for publication. I was occasionally required to visit our printers to sort out any problems. When our company was responding to tenders for more work, I went with the Editor/Manager to meet potential clients to discuss design briefs.
