About Me I am a passionate Graphic designer and a self-taught Web Designer with an interest in working with like-minded people in creative environments. I have experience in client work and solo projects as well as being a part of a work force. The ability to self-motivate allows me to perform various tasks at once showing myself to be fully committed, organised and competent in working under pressured situations. I have learnt that having a platform through which I can question and develop ideas can harness greater creativity. I enjoy working with peers and look forward to meeting new people in all prospective work environments.

LOGO DESIGN A logo is a symbol, name or trademark of a company. Logos are used by companies because they represent a concise image of the company. People generally nd it easier to remember a simple image over words alone. Our eyes are drawn to visual objects and well designed logos add visual appeal to printed documents and web pages. The essence of logo design is to take an idea or concept and compress it down into a symbol or piece of typography. The logo is the most important part of every brand and must be made as eye-catching at the same time has to be done to last for centuries. 2020/2021 EDITION

Business cards provide a more tangible way to impart information about who you are and what you do, making them one of the most effective direct marketing tools.

FLYERS & BROCHUR- ES Flyers are typically single sheet and unfolded. They may be printed on one or both sides. Flyers are most often printed on standard 8.5″x 11″ or A4 paper, but they may be any size so long as they’re relatively easy to handle. While they may be used for a variety of purposes, they are best used for short, concise messages. They are most often distributed by hand, but may also be mailed. The way yers are used means they tend to have a shorter life-span compared to most print formats. Flyers are generally distributed more freely when used in short-lived promotions. Flyers intended for reference materials are normally printed on thicker paper or cardstock. Other names for yers include: leaets, handbills, and circulars. Unlike yers, Brochures always have folds. Brochures tend to be printed on both sides. Brochures are intended to be repeatedly referred to and handled, and are consequently best printed on more durable paper or cardstock and given a coating to help better resist moisture and fading. 2020/2021 EDITION

PROFILES & BOOK COVERS A company prole is an introduction to your business, and aims to tell an audience about your products or services. However, a company prole shouldn't just tell your audience what you sell -- it should also tell viewers why you sell it. A company prole often includes a compelling story about how the company began, as well as the company's vision and values. Your Personal brand is what distinguishes you from your competitors, helping to form a lasting impression in the mind of your audience and customers. Without a compelling personal brand that attracts your target audience, you may nd yourself struggling to build a protable and sustainable business. In order to make a good book cover, it’s important to rst understand its purpose. A cover exists primarily to entice potential readers to buy the book. It’s a sales tool. It has to relay information about the book in a way that grabs potential readers and inspires them to investigate further 2020/2021 EDITION
