Professional profile
From a young age, computers have been a valuable part of my life. In the last two years, I began creating
gaming YouTube videos for fun, which led me to pursue an education in Creative Media. From this I
discovered a passion for magazine design, advertising and brand creation.
From studying Creative Media Production and Technology, I have developed essential skills in Adobe
Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Microsoft Word and PowerPoint and gained valuable experience in print-based
media, designing magazine covers and feature articles; in advertising; designing posters, radio and video
advertisements, and advergames; and in developing a brand, including researching a target audience and
existing products, working to project briefs for real world clients.
Through this study I have further developed my organisation skills, attention to detail to produce quality
products and my ability to work to industry deadlines. Alongside my vast experience in computers, gaming
and myskillsinvideoediting,Ihave developedfurtherskillsin magazine editorial work, andthe conventions
and terminology of magazine design, which I feel passionate about to pursue as a career.
