In general terms i am a graphic designer, i create and design pieces of work that are aesthetically pleasing whilst answering to a problem set, whether this be informing or advertising, etc.
I much prefer working with type, however i do also create and use illustrations throughout my designs and design process. As i do prefer type i am a Mac based designer although i consciously try and avoid jumping straight onto illustrator or photoshop when set a brief. i am an idea generator and a good one at that.
One of my main skills i believe i possess is the ability to think of several good ideas for briefs and projects set.
Im fairly skilled with photoshop and illustrator and Indesign, Indesign being my weak point out of the three, however my progress with the program is ongoing.
I also have good people skills, having these from generally being a happy-go-lucky person! Evidence proving this being as i work in a successful bar and have done so for over 2 years and am social sec for leeds met snowsports.
In a nutshell the people who need my skills as a designer are people on behalf of a business, corporation's, charities or organizations that need something designed. These people will either go through design agencies or with freelance designers, so it is also the agencies that require me and my creative skills!
Concerning my aims in a professional sense, i feel as though if i can live comfortably and happily via my income as a graphic designer il be all good! I also want to be able to see something in the public eye and be able to proudly say that i made it.
