A great interest in graphic design and an ambition to work in an environment where I can make a difference working with today’s modern technology, has led me to pursue a career in graphic design.

As an enthusiastic and imaginative person a career in this field seems a natural choice, evolving from my current studies in AS Graphics, AS Computing and BTEC I.T National Diploma. My knowledge of the requirements to be a graphic designer has grown considerably since taking these courses. I particularly enjoy graphics as this focuses on the concept of portraying media and images involving design as a way of marketing and a way of attracting people towards particular products. Furthermore AS graphics has helped me to realise the importance of meeting deadlines and has increased my creativity and my understanding of the subject.













This is a digital image, photographed and developed by a friend who specialises in proffesional photography, i have permission to use this image to manipulate and edit. I am going to design a calendar to add to the advertisement collection part of my work.














This is a calendar design i created using the above photographed image, i added effects and enhanced the photo using adobe illustrator and photoshop. I also put my logo in the corner to mark my work, this is part of the advertisement collection of my portfolio.



















This is a photgraphed image i took in my hometown (bolton), of a an office building, i took this using a digital camera with a high resolution so then i can edit and manipulate it using adobe photoshop. I will use this to create my next piece of artwork which is going to be an urban style poster.














This is a piece of of typograpry i designed, here i am producing an urban effect the building was photgraphed was taken with a digital camera, this i will include in my complete portfolio.

I researched the current materials and designs used in making business cards and the font styles and how it is set out. And i designed 4 samples of my own to display the same trend of design and style.














This again is a logo design and promotional material for the name i give to my work. I have used the same colour schemee as it is attractive and stands out, this makes the font stand out and i have enhanced it with effects to give a glass and shiny effect to the text. I think this would mark my work and also people would remember my logo easily.

On this piece of work i have created a personal typography design with my name, this is a different style of work from the previous images. The shapes and texts was created in illustrator and have been together with thought and consideration of the colours to create a simple but vibrant piece of typography.














The above typography has been developed and designed by myself, this was inspired from an idea created by a graphic designer who's name i am unaware of. I have changed the text type and the font and created a similar design.














Here i have created the logo design for the nemesis digital work portfolio, this i will put for the cover of my portfolio. The image and and text has been created using effects and tools using the adobe packages, here i have tried to create a simple logo and havent used much text to make it attractive and stand out from the page and also to make it look proffesional. Before my portfolio is even viewed the idea of my graphics is transparent in this design.

This is a 3 dimensional design of the previous perfume packaging i created, i made this poster as means of corporate advertisement for my perfume product. I researched the current packaging used on aftershaves and perfumes and developed my own design and material.














These are two perfume packaging ideas i have designed, again using the same name "NEMESIS" in the first one it shows what the word nemesis is associated with. And i have tried to create the image that not everything is bad. The second is much more corporate and has an attractive package which will attract customer attention easily.



















This is also from the same idea of music advertisement i used in the previous piece of work, this is a poster advertisement which can also be used on portrait bill boards, i have used my own photographed images and thereafter imported them into photoshop to add effects.













Nemesis is a name i thought of to mark my graphics and my design work, i use this name throughtout my design portfolio to keep it fluent and also to create an image of my type of work.
Above is an album cover i designed and photgraphed using objects and pictures to create a strong but simple message.














This is the font i created in my first image, i have re-used it and placed onto a canvas and have used effects in photoshop to enhance my work. It is a peace of typography design of the alphabet i created to show and preview what i can achieve with the different text styles.














This image here is a font i created using adobe illustrator, using shapes and tools i drew each letter of the alphabet. And as you can see i have produced an ancient style of shapes and symbols. This font i will then use in my later projects and in my portfolio designs.
