Benoit Ollive

London, United Kingdom
http://www.behance.net/benoitollive/frame
My name is Benoit Ollive, I am twenty-two years old and recently graduated with a Bachelor of Design from the Marseille School of Fine Arts, France. My determination to succeed in graphic design led me to move to London in January 2010. I would like to gain international recognition in design-making, extend my professional networks and work experience. My work is inspired by urban trends, social networks and the underlying concepts of alternative cultures. I would really enjoy the opportunity to contribute to a company for which I could use my creativity as an answer to client challenges. I have always pushed myself very hard to create work that is unique, explores mixed media, questions the principles of design and connects people through narrative. While creative-minded, I am highly-motivated, practical, focussed on quality, conscientious and organised. These traits have given me the opportunity to work with designers, architects, film directors and art galleries in roles including graphic designer, assistant, art director and curator.
