Dionne Hélène

As the deputy artworker at Shop, my daily responsibilities range from managing the design teams schedule, to liaising with the international marketing managers. My main priorities include designing, art-working and proofing approximately 26 magazines solo, per year. I then proof a further 60 editions throughout the year. I work with the picture team to art-direct bespoke magazine covers; which also entails sourcing illustrators, writing the directive’s and commissioning the talent. Most recently I have been helping to create a new app by designing, testing and publishing both English and foreign language adaptations of the magazines on a digital platform, which is hosted on wordpress. As a print designer this has been an immensely educational task as it requires you to design in a completely different way. From a more managerial aspect, I mentor the design team and set quarterly targets to help maintain and improve the high-standard of work, and help individuals to create their own career strategies.

The project brief was set by D&AD in 2010. The task was to 'convey the image of a brand without using any copy to describe the imagery'. The images won a commendation. http://cargocollective.com/dionnehelene/Carhartt-X-D-AD-photogrpahy-brief
