I am also involved in the design and appearance of Bodyshop’s monthly e-newsletter and advertising banners. Recently I designed and produced a consumer lifestyle magazine for another publisher on a freelance basis this was widely distributed and well received throughout Southern Ireland. My duties included the design and layout of all editorial pages and the creation of all print ready artwork plus liasing with both the client and many advertisers throughout the production process. Whilst my career so far has been mainly print biased, my role within Plenham has given me the opportunity to work in many different areas of design including: exhibition/promotional and display design; event and publicity/pos/marketing material; packaging design/artwork, logo design and media packs, this to highlight just a few.I am thorough, capable, reliable and adaptable in my work and a friendly member of staff, I also possess a high level of self-motivation which enables me to work independently or in team environment.I am adept in all of the Adobe design packages(In-design CS5/Photoshop/Illustrator – pc & mac) and can offer consistently creative and attractive work. I enjoy new challenges and embrace any opportunity to further develop my skills and career.Coming from a print and publishing background I am thoroughly familiar with working to tight deadlines, where they are ever present. This also involves many different media and disciplines of design as can be seen demonstrated in my portfolio - www.andyroker.com. Show less
