Web and Graphic Design
I have great knowledge of design and digital media and I have qualifications in media production as well as a degree in 2D and stop-motion animation which was very centred around design and composition too so I have a lot of skills when it comes to creative design!
I have recently had a couple of clients (freelance) come to me for help with building their websites for their own companies and I enjoyed the whole process. From pre-production all the way through to finalising the final website version, I was able to pitch and develop ideas. I worked with them to achieve a great result tailored to their target audiences which is key when creating branding-material. I am also able to add important elements such as relevant SEO and HTML/CSS code to webpages in order to bring the right viewers to the sites. Custom code is great to add into a website because this helps me to better achieve the aesthetics that I am after. It is also very important to keep the visuals user friendly as well so that people of all abilities are able to fully navigate around eg. someone with colour-blindness needs high contrasting colours to be able to read the text suitably etc. I have a very strong knowledge of colour theory and along with my other knowledge I can appropriately make the right creative and practical decisions. Usability and interface principles are just as necessary as the images and fun elements are to ensure success; form follows function!
I am very creative so I love working with different requirements and target audiences. For example, one website I built was for a bespoke plumbing company whilst the other was for a beauty company. In addition to this, I was able to plan and shoot some of the product photos for the brand's new product line. I find it really fun seeing ideas transfer from paper into the final product because the results are so unique, aesthetic and practical for each specific client and their website's intended purpose. I already have basic understanding of HTML and CSS coding but I am currently teaching myself more techniques and general skills which is something I enjoy learning and pursuing. I am definitely committed and dedicated to this industry and I'd love to develop a career in this field.
In addition to the visuals and design, I have a good understanding of the theoretical side such as B2B and B2C practices and other tasks such as social media management and blog writing, which I am confident in.
