About me
I am a third year graphic designer with a large focus in web design. My design degree has covered all aspects in the design sector, allowing me to develop the skills and mindset to create designs across the spectrum. I am capable in Adobe Cs Suite on both Mac OSX and Windows XP alike. I have a comfortable understanding of HTML and CSS and can confidently create websites using CMS programs. I can produce work that is responsive with all different screen sizes and am aware of the importance of mobile compatibility. Thanks to my design degree all this is underpinned by the understanding I have of basic, and complex graphic design accepted “rules”. I am an ambitious and highly motivated, visual individual and believe that my skills in both graphic and web design will be an asset for a project such as this one. I am a flexible, hardworking, punctual designer who will strive for perfection.
