Another part of my job was photography for the brand where I took product and lifestyle photos in the in-house photo studio, as well as work withed a professional photographer where I art directed photoshoots and helped come up with ways to showcase product in unique ways. There are two big projects that I was in charge of and worked on while working this position. The first one was a complete redesign of the Graphic Image website and brand identity. This project had me coming up with a new design for the homepage along with the category banners to convey a more modern and up to date feel to our website. I came up with ideas for photography and both took photos myself and worked with the professional photographer to produce beautiful photos showcasing the different products used in the new redesign.Another big project I have worked on here was a corporate catalog that showcased some of the most popular items sold by Graphic Image. I photo directed all images used in the catalog and also created the layout and composition. This catalog had thousands of copies printed and was sent to corporate clients and retailers all over the country.
