About me

Hello,My name is Javier Otero and I am a graphic designer and illustrator based in London since 2005.For the last few years I have been working as a freelance graphic designer for different London companies. Mostly through The Conservatory (graphic design studio) and HeadChannel (web developement). I worked as part of a team in a "freelance in studio" role as well as working by myself. The projects I have been working on involved a number of areas of design, including magazine design, illustration, branding and web design. I am also responsible for the full design of three magazines, "Living Spain" (relating to Spanish tourism and property), "Fresh Direction" (a student culture magazine) and "El Sol" (Spanish teachers magazine) . These are distributed UK-wide ("El Sol" is also published in United States) and are the most well known magazines in their areas. In addition, for the last three years I have been the only designer for the record label Multi Vitamins and have designed flyers and posters for the well-known music venue "The Spitz".Previously to these years in London, I have gained a great deal of experience in magazine and newspaper design during my work in Spain; I directed and led the development of a supplement on youth trends for the 5th largest circulation newspaper in the country and designed some of the best selling magazines in my region. I also used my knowledge of print design to create numerous corporate image manuals, developing every aspect of the corporate image.I took courses in Flash Animation and Editorial Design following completion of my Graphic Design and Graphic Art degree in the Oviedo Art School in Spain, one of the most important centers in graphic design and photography in Spain.Please visit my online portfolio at *, that will give you a better idea of my background and experience.I believe my creativity, dedication and application would be an asset to you. I would be available to start immediately and do hope to hear from you at your earliest convenience. Yours sincerely.Javier Otero
