About me
With extensive publication design experience including Art Editor at Vanity Fair and Senior designer at Sunday Times magazine, I would really enjoy the opportunity to use my publication design skills in the maternity cover position with the growing Media Publishing company in central London.
As you will see from the work on my portfolio website, I always produce design work to the highest standard and have an almost obsessive attention to detail. As Art Editor at Vanity Fair, I was primarily responsible for the front of book pages which were typically complicated pages with lots of text and images. My eye for producing balanced, beautiful page layouts, focusing on pace and hierarchy with my use of typography and images was crucial in this work.
Whether working in the pressured environment of a weekly title, such as Sunday Times magazine, or juggling numerous design projects at Designwerk, I never let the fast pace affect my standard of design, infact I enjoy the buzz. The ability to produce great work despite tight deadlines was imperative on projects such as the book I design to promote Dubai as a great destination for events is an example of a project I worked on with a very tight time deadline. It also required my good people skills as I project managed this as well as designing the whole book, and we were working with 2 external agencies on this, one of which was based in Australia. Everyone working as a team ensured the finished book was well received by the client.
I look forward to hearing from you with regards to this position.
many thanks,
Chrissy
