Looking forward to meeting up with contacts already made, and new connections in the coming months. For the moment thank you for taking the time to read this profile. All background details listed below.
Degree qualified, I have completed and passed with Merit Oct 2011 (ratified Feb 2012) a 1 year Masters of Art in Communication Design through the University of Salford, Manchester. My specialist areas in Education are Typography, Digital Skills and Packaging, Visual Communications and Film Collaboration. Now seeking further opportunities. My future goal is to teach at degree level. In addition I have also currently a number of projects in the Graphic Arts area. Mancunian Urban Typography, Investigate (again Manchester based) The Demise of Handwriting and an ongoing a 'Personal Book/ Research Project', comprising of todate 30,000 words, and suporting Graphics & Photography, the first 2 volumes focus on my 'pre-digital Graphics training' and my early childhood. I also continue to consult on Industrial projects, both UK and Australia and soon NZ, in areas of Brand display and packaging branding. In the coming months I will be looking to develop new business, in the Wines and Spirits sector, and non food.
I have significant experience and abilities to bring to the table, experience which includes, Managerial ability at a high level, Customer/Client Service, again on a number of levels, and strong awareness of overseas markets, their culture, their people and their needs. I'm speaking in general about Fairtrade Branding, Charity, and Multicultural exchange. Details pretty much contained in the above details, but in addition, I would bring a distinct level of highly experienced International experience to the table, which in turn will benefit any agency, company, or education facility, or group/organisation over in NZ or on a global basis.
Specialist areas of Design: FMCG Branding over 20 years out of 30, both UK and International Markets. Typography and Branded Packaging. Print Production, Advertising and General Print.
On the flip side, Teaching both Conventional and the Digital Arts Part Time, Mentor. Writing Course Projects material for Foundation Degree, HND, BA and MA. Developing areas of networking to focus on Film and Multimedia Collaboration outside of my Professional Design Practice. Read Less
