Mitchell Gracey Design

Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom
My name is Mitchell Gracey I’m currently studying Advertising & Brand Management BA (Hons) as I really enjoy packaging and being able to make a product appeal and stand out to the user by redesigning it and turning it into an innovative piece of packaging by adding clever graphics and suitable colour schemes combined with a creative way of thinking and making to create what I feel will be a beautiful piece of packaging not only to use but to look at as well. I also studied Product Design & Graphic Design at A level which gives me a great insight to what materials and manufacturing methods to use and know what are being used and also gives me confident digital skills in the Adobe Suite to execute my ideas to a high standard whilst constantly learning new mediums through freelance Graphic Design (logos, brochures etc) and my passion for photography which also mean I can get all my own images for my work for things such as textures and schemes which can be applied to business cards and I even use the textures on 3D models as I am also learning 3D modeling and Rendering to make sure my work is displayed and finished to the most professional standard possible.
