What is your role?
Freelance Designer.
What sort of work are you doing?
I only started a few weeks ago on Better Health. It's a 100 page magazine. The process is pretty simple. I work off a a flatplan provided by the publisher. Copy is provided, I may get a brief, but ultimately I have the creative freedom to design the entire layout for the magazine. Once pages are completed, I send the pdfs back to the publisher and work on any feedback given to me. I'm really loving it!
What sort of deadlines do you work to?
The magazine comes out every two months so the deadlines are really long. Six weeks!
What do you love about Graphic Design?
It's around you constantly feeding you information and inspiration.
What do you find inspiring?
Music, crazy fun people in their 70's and my family & friends.
How has Shillington helped you gain employment?
Well they did in providing a competency based course that gave me a fantastic portfolio and the ability to score a job one week after graduating.
