Alice Legate
Student
Derby, United KingdomI am currently a graphic design student at the University of Derby, seeking work in a creative environment to develop my skills and experience. I love experimenting with print, type and photography, but I am also strongly inspired by life, culture, and minimalist design.
Currently i am in my fifth year of design education, constantly looking for challenges and ways to push limitations within the design industry. I am very efficient at using traditional printing techniques, modern digital techniques and programs and I am particularly skilled when using Adobe Creative Cloud software.
