Hello,
My name is Antria Petrou, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator in London. I graduated in July 2016 with a BA in Marketing and Advertising Management Degree from Leeds Beckett University, UK.
In a Digital Realty I realised that design fuelled my soul and decided to move to London to study graphic design as a full time student. Crazy, I know! The three month intensive course at Shillington College was super rigorous and taught me all about the design principles, typography, print, ideation, and UX. The fact that I could sit at a computer screen for 9+ hours a day designing and still be excited to do it all over again the following day was a sign That Eureka! I found my passion.
I am currently working as a Junior Graphic Designer at Sky ltd, in London, UK. Diagonal View own digital channels and produce custom content for brand partners and for the in-house channels. It covers a variety of subjects such us; football, music and fact-based entertainment producing premium videos mainly for Youtube and other social media platforms such as Facebook and instagram.
My work focuses on designing illustrations for Youtube channels such as Alltime10s. Briefly, Alltime10s is a channel with 5,299,244 subscribers and 1,927,371,315 views that brings
the most informative, fascinating and engaging top 10 videos on YouTube.
In the frame of my work I have also the opportunity to collaborate and work closely with a team of trailblazing writers, directors, producers and editors. Working with the editors who seek to make my illustrations alive by giving them movement and character. I gain a better understanding of Adobe After Effects software particularly in motion graphic.
Due to the large number of projects which involve illustration assets I have developed and explored different styles of illustrations whilst improving skills in Photoshop, Illustrations and Indesign Adobe programs. In addition, working in a fast-paced digital environment I learn to work more efficiently and effectively to meet deadline and targets.
I also completed an Internship at the Schibsted media company. As a result, I have worked alongside an experienced group of product managers, engineers,
and market specialists developing a technologically advanced, mobile first, consumer facing product. This has not only aided me through experience, but has made me well
acquainted with the inner functions and workings of the industry.
I am a person who is intrigued by changes and challenges, I have the ability to learn quickly and adapt to different environments and situations, whether this involves professional or day to day interactions. Being inspired from growing up on an island and subsequently moving to an urban city I have a fresh perspective on the contemporary lifestyle which has broadened my creative horizon.
I am confident that my skills and enthusiasm can significantly contribute to your team’s fresh and innovative ideas. I am truly passionate about working in the designs industry and having the opportunity to enhance my knowledge and experience from a company of your prestige will be life-changing.
Thank you, for considering my CV.
