How I Got the Job
An agency put me forward for the role.
Qualifications Needed
A relevant degree is preferred, but being able to demonstrate good understanding of design and development concepts with a good portfolio is more essential.
Personal Insights
Day-to-Day
Working with provided briefs to produce a variety of different web/print/interactive promotions. This includes; flash banners, CD covers, CD wallets, mini-games, mailers, landing pages, promotional pages, animations and flyers.
Best Day
I had to produce a CD wallet, CD cover, letterhead and launcher software for a campaign revolving around Tomb Raider. The marketing team were so impressed with the result that they showed it to a director who personally complimented me saying it was one of the best CD sets he’d ever seen.
Worst Day
Haven’t really had one yet.
What I Like
The sheer variety of tasks I have to do means that I’m never doing the same thing over and over again. We also have a foosball table in the office, which is of course… a perk.
What I Dislike
The sheer volume of work can be overwhelming sometimes, so I often find myself sacrificing quality for quantity.
Perks
Working with a very a talented team of creatives is always a perk. I’ve learned a lot and made some good friends. Because it’s a creative department, it’s very laid back and I always have a laugh.
