Hey Hey.......I'm Dave
I have recently finished a stint at Fresh Brand Communication where I was working as a junior graphic designer for the last year. My time saw me working on a number of projects ranging from magazine layouts, brand identity concepts, illustration and artwork research, icon design, web design as well as being in charge of maintaining all content on our own web site via our internal CMS.
I believe I work in professional manner, have an ability to think on my feet, posses a good design sense, am one to always seek out the “big idea” and to think outside the square. I motivated, passionate, take direction and criticism in my stride and always offer my own aesthetic solutions to each individual design problem. I also Like to have fun with my ideas and take them as far as I can.
Apart from having a cheeky sense of humor and penchant for all things "Design", I possess a diploma in graphic design and am currently finishing off my Degree in Visual Communication (part time) at Swinburne University of Technology.
I have also been freelancing for the last year and a half working on a number of identity projects as well as keeping my self busy painting and generally just being creative. I have a sound knowledge and understanding of Creative Suite 5 as well as some web design experience and knowledge of various open source CMS sites including Wordpress, Drupal and Sliverstripe.
I have demonstrated many of my skills in the professional domain. I am very keep to break further into the field, so if I sound like your type of guy drop me a line. Thanks.
