Experience in book covers, interior text layouts, hand lettering, conceptual design, logo development, and project management.
Job Responsibility: Managing Designer and one of three Team Leaders.
Managed the workload coming into the design studio alongside designing my own jobs; scheduling work to meet deadlines; guide editors on briefing jobs to designers; design and creation of own book covers, interior page layouts as well as book cover series development; and working with editors, illustrators and printers to achieve the highest standard covers. An example of this was the redesign of the South African Oxford Dictionary cover range.
My mission at Oxford was always to learn as much as I can about book publishing - the business itself, and find different ways of working smarter for designers and editors within publishing.
Job Responsibility: Designer on page layout and marketing advertorials.
Worked alongside editor, designers and photojournalists to come up with magazine layouts which complimented and enhance their written and photographic experiences. Part of my job responsibility was to hand paint maps for each story we designed. Also had to help choose the photographic images with the editor - ones that would best suit the story.
Job Responsibility: Layout artist for property (sale of houses in prestige areas) newspaper
Aside from preparing the weekly newspaper layouts for the property section, I also worked on marketing materials like brochures, leaflets and helped out on huge campaigns for Pam Golding events.
