    roducing print ready packaging artwork for a number of Blue Chip clients including Tesco, M&S, Britvic, and others. As Brand Guardian, responsibilities included building artworks and ensuring range consistency across a large number of product lines. While following detailed printer specifications and extensive brand guidelines, I was tasked with producing a high volume of work to tight deadlines with a consistently high standard of work. Other Brand Guardian responsibilities included decision making for various product ranges, advising and assisting in the training of other artworkers and responding to client feedback. My position demanded advanced Illustrator skills and knowledge of multiple print processes which varied depending on substrates and techniques. Photoshop and Acrobat skills were also required when working alongside a team of other artworkers, retouchers and quality assurance. Good time management skills ensured that projects and product ranges met their print deadlines consistently.
