About me

Hi

My name is Emma Bluck and I am a final year student for the University of Salford studying design management. Fresh from lectures and intensive projects, I am ready to go into a full position offering me new challenges and opportunities.

Although I am not directly a designer, I know that I want to be based within a creative company helping to build links between both design and the management of design processes. As you will see from my CV I have been involved in numerous projects using Adobe Photoshop and Macromedia Director, I also have a working knowledge of Adobe Illustrator. My most recently completed project involved strategic thinking to establish a link between women's perceptions of beauty and airbrushing being used in the advertising industry. This has given me an insight into the advertising industry and also ways in which to go about investigating a topic, applicable to my chosen job role. Over my time at university I have carried out modules on re-branding and brand development giving me a basis of skills in which I hope to build upon.

Through my university career I have developed skills, whilst learning new and meaningful processes. The Design Management course has encouraged me to have an independent and innovative thinking when approaching any subject, whilst keeping and understanding of deadlines and urgency. An importance has been placed upon building relationships with both internal and external forces around the university in order to complete project
