About me
Hello,
I'm Tim Gavin and I love all things Graphic Design. There's not a day goes by when I don't annoy friends or family by pointing out nicely kerned type, complimentary colour palettes or sing the praises of geometric shapes.
In December 2011 I finished a three-month, full time intensive course at Shillington College. The course was a combination of taking briefs, learning design principles and gaining an in-depth knowledge of the CS5 creative suite. I feel these skills hold me in good stead to jump straight into a junior designer position.
From January to October I have been working for Manchester United's Design team aiding their sales and partnership programme. The work I do at Manchester United is to a high commercial standard producing brochures, packaging, artwork and presentations.
Working as part of a creative team I am well versed in taking briefs from their concept up until delivering the final design solution. Working so heavily in partnership pitches I work within other brands guidelines on a daily basis and feel this has given me a deep understanding of how to effectively design for different brands.
My time as Manchester United has made me highly proficient in the adobe creative suite (InDesign, Illustrator & PhotoShop) and the knowledge I have picked up working for a busy and dynamic department has proven invaluable.
I hope my portfolio highlights my ability to work on different projects and design for different mediums and I am confident I have the skills and desire to fulfil this position to the highest standard.
I am a personable and assiduous individual, keen to learn as much as I can about Graphic Design to continue refining and improving my work and knowledge.
Kind regards,
Tim Gavin
