Toby Howes Email & Phone Number

I’m Toby Howes: Graphic Designer, HND graduate & bronze medal winner at WorldSkills UK National Graphic Design Finals. After graduating from my Level 3 UAL: Extended Diploma (grade high-merit) in graphic design at Canterbury School of Visual Arts I took a year to decide what my next steps would be, resulting in me enrolling to study for a Higher National Diploma in graphic design pathway. During the year between graduating from my extended diploma and starting my HND, I received a bronze medal for reaching the finals and placing third out of eight finalists from across the country in the WorldSkills UK National Graphic Design finals, which were held at the Birmingham NEC in November of 2017. Graduating with a distinction grade from my HND in a difficult time speaks for my confidence and reliability as a young designer with exceptional technical ability that brings an open mindset to the table. My design eye is open and I had to apply my creative vision to a plethora of contexts over my years as a student; as a result, I developed my design process to be flexible which allows me to adapt to the requirements of clients whilst being mindful of audience appeal and aesthetics. My strengths lie in: my ability to conceptualise successful creative solutions with appropriate visual communication; my consideration of aesthetics (which helps me to support branding through the platform of understanding layouts), vectors, colour sense, font usage, attention to detail and my passion. However, my skills as a graphic designer are constantly evolving and I am always open to learning more to refine my craft and approach.
