Worked as the Art Director for Australia's leading technology magazine. The role was a combination of periods of insane busyness and extreme boredom. To occupy myself in the quieter periods of the monthly cycle I begun to write gadget and camera reviews for the magazine. This had a two-fold benefit for me as it kept me busy and helped indoctrinate me into the world of copywriting while also making my design workload easier by reducing the amount of late copy coming in on deadline day.

Auto Action is a weekly magazine that revolves around the world of Motor Racing, primarily the Australian V8 Supercar series. This was a busy role that saw us produce a bulk of the magazine (20+ pages) in a single day. Such a fast-paced work environment was responsible for polishing my design skills and making me the fast designer I am today.
