About me
Gavin Keith Hough… • Concept • Art Direction • Creative Direction • Artwork Production • External Supplier Liaison Delivering creative solutions for brand awareness and marketing campaigns. Career Ambitions… To be a part of a talented creative team. Play a major role in the initial concept stage. Direct and see the project through to completion. Experience and then create ‘smile in the mind’ moments. Keep learning and developing with a group of individuals who love to create. Leave my mark on this planet with some great creative. To make one person, sit up, take notice, whether consciously at that very moment or sub consciously later in the day and elicit a positive feel good response. That feeling when you are hit with that ‘smile in the mind’ moment. It could be during the working day and within minutes of receiving a brief or it could be ten hours later, whilst sleeping. 02:36am and with no warning, BAM! You wake, heart racing, reaching for that pen and paper (that always sits on your bedside table) and you scribble. 02:38am you return to sleep, safe in the knowledge that the brief you received, has been smashed with that ‘one moment’ and for once you do not care that you were disturbed at 02:36am. You simply smile, excited for what the next day holds. Know that feeling? Only a creative knows this and it cannot be beaten. It is my adrenaline, my fuel, my passion. Me in a nutshell… Foo Fighters.
