About me
I am interested in a junior designer position with an innovative company. I just completed an FDA in Design for Graphic Communication at the London College of Communication, having graduated in 2006 from Central Saint Martins with a Foundation Studies Diploma in Art & Design.
I am attracted to graphic design and advertising because of the ability to transform peoples perception of anything with the use of image and text. My exposure to the advertising world started with a work placement in JNL+, an established advertising agency in Greece. During the placement I was involved in all types of graphic design work - design for print, web design, artworking, and the like - for international companies such as Hyundai, Miele and Lufthansa. Through this work experience, I had the opportunity to develop my design skills, to familiarize myself with the inner workings of an advertising agency, and to gain practical experience.
At Central Saint Martins, the foundation gave me valuable exposure to a great range of design aspects and experimentation on art & design, whereas at the London College of Communication, I pursued a degree with a very practical and work oriented focus on graphic design, which advanced my design skills to a professional level. Design & Advertising is a dynamic and challenging industry that requires intrinsic characteristics apart from academic studies, such as enthusiasm, dedication, and friendliness, attributes that I consider possessing.
