Want to know more? Here's the detail...
I have recently completed my degree in Graphic Communication at Loughborough University and am due to graduate in July 2010. My degree has
sparked my obsession with brands. During my time at Loughborough I have become fascinated by their identities and their power and importance in
society; from a commercial point of view but also in terms of social responsibility. I am particularly interested in brand communication and my work
most commonly addresses the design requirements of national and international brands.
My passion lies in creating relationships between societies and brands and in building a brand’s personality and allegiance. My work therefore
predominantly manifests itself into examples of advertising and brand campaigns but also includes solutions for other formats such as packaging,
corporate identity and direct mail.
My primary specialism is printed media. I believe that in a world obsessed with the digital realm it is important not to forget the impact that the
‘traditional’ print medium can have. Print solutions can certainly still provide a relevant and exciting format for brands to explore. I am however
aware of capturing society’s current obsession with digital design due to its ability to communicate a message faster and further than ever before and
with this in consideration my work strikes a balance between online and offline formats.
I consider myself an extremely passionate and driven individual with a rare extreme determination to succeed in the design industry. I am eager to
start a professional career as soon as possible and after graduation. I am looking to work most probably in the London area although am excited by
the prospect of working nationally and indeed internationally should the opportunity arise.
