Hello,
My name is Ed Dickinson and I am a graphic design graduate from Norwich University of the Arts.
I’m genuinely passionate about the creative industries and graphic design. Therefore through extensive study I have developed an understanding of the history of design, current trends, differing philosophies and what the future may hold for the industry. I love a challenge and consistently strive to achieve as close to perfection as possible when undertaking any creative task or brief. Whilst I am focused when working alone, I also enjoy working as part of a team and am motivated by the pressure of working to deadlines.
I know I have the attributes and skills to contribute to output of any creative studio. Having proven myself by completing internships at the prestigious London based agencies, Bulletproof, Big Fish and Cartils as well as completing freelance work, in the fields of design, illustration and photography.
I'm competent on Adobe Creative Suite and have the ability to illustrate and a basic understanding of photography, skills which are valuable to most creative studios. These talents are manifested within my portfolio which showcases a mixture of unique ideas and unusual visual communication. To anyone interested in viewing my comprehensive online portfolio please check out my website which is; - www.eddickinsondesign.co.uk -
Outside of the world of art and design, I am interesting in travelling the world and experiencing new places and cultures. A lot of my weekends and evenings are taken up by sport and fitness as I am a keen runner having completed several half and full marathons over the last few years. If you would like to know anything else about me feel free to ask.
Thanks for your time,
Ed

- Hyper-SaturationPrinted on newsprint this 24 page publication outlines a photographic essay entitled Hyper-Saturation. This series defies the idea of photography as a 'portrayal of reality'. Views are presented which cannot occur naturally. The coloured flash renders a hyper-saturated foreground whilst the conventional tones of the background offers the viewer a glimpse of normality present with the photographs. Influences by the likes of photographers such Benoit Paille, Elsa Bleda and Isabella Stahl the emphasis of this work is to abstract from the mundane of the everyday. The publication is 24 pages in length, measures 380mm x 289mm and is printed on 55gsm newsprint. It contains 16 colour images as well as text providing an insight into the project. If you are interested in purchasing a copy for a reasonable price email me for further information - eddbay@googlemail.com.
