Self / 900 Design Work Values

Daily Duties at Self / 900 Design:

I have produced visually compelling solutions to the communication needs of clients, using a mix of creative skills and commercial awareness. I used imaginative flair, awareness of current fashions in the visual arts, working knowledge of the latest computer packages and an understanding of material costs and time limits, all of which can impact on the design. Appropriate medium and styles were selected in conjunction with the client's requirements. By providing quality visuals, it was hoped the profit margins of the client have increased as potential customers become more informed or persuaded by the graphics. My main activities have been: * meeting clients to discuss their needs; * interpreting the client's business needs; * developing design briefs by gathering information and data to clarify design issues; * thinking, writing, and designing creatively to produce new ideas; * using innovation to redefine a design brief and meet the constraints of cost, time and client; * multi-tasking: graphic designers often work on more than one design brief at a time; * using a wide range of media, including photography and computer aided design; * producing accurate and high quality work; * contributing ideas and design artwork to the overall brief; * keeping abreast of developments in IT, particularly design programs. * working well in a team, with printers, copywriters, photographers, other designers, account executives, website designers and marketing specialists; * working to tight deadlines. I have often been proactive in presenting the clients' ideas and designs to prospective customers.

What they like about Self / 900 Design:

You highly value a work environment built on a formal structure, rules, and regulations. You do not enjoy the unpredictability of shifting priorities and deadlines that upset your routine. You require and enjoy direction, input and accountability as part of your work environment. You have a strong need to participate in making key decisions and feel left out if your superiors or co-workers do not seek your input when making decisions. You thrive on providing good customer service to both internal or external customers, and doing so makes you feel good.
