Why me?
I have up to 3 years experience as a graphic designer and illustrator within a Publishing House. By being part of the bookmaking process from the very beginning, I shared my ideas in brainstorming meetings along with the account managers, the editorial team and the art director on the projects. I was able to grow my organizational and planning skills by creating designs for covers and interior layouts, by illustrating book covers and short stories, and by delivering print ready files for many projects at the same time and respecting tight deadlines. Besides licensed publishing and in-house projects, I am also involved in producing advertising materials for our projects, such as flyers, posters and banners for webpages and offline marketing and attention to details is my little name.
I have the ability to work within a team, as well as cross-team with printers, copywriters, photographers, illustrators, other designers and marketing specialists to redefine a design brief within the constraints of cost and time by finding new solutions and concepts.
Please review my resume for more information on my evolution. I look forward to discussing with you about myself and how I would make significant contribution to your team.
Thank you,
Georgiana Butnaru
