Stefan’s news

And the Winner is…

Me. Okay that’s cheesy but it’s also true. As having been part of a small team challenged to deliver an awards ceremony, to recognise and celebrate safety performance within the offshore Oil & Gas industry, the pressure was high. Working with a variety of national suppliers to bring the prestigious event to life within the beautiful Aberdeen Art Gallery inside a 2 hour window, stress? yes, but an amazing experience.

There was also some sentiment, as the event coincided with the last evening of my time at Stork (what a leaving party!). I’m proud to have worked within an organisation who embrace innovation, are committed to a strong safety culture and be involved in communications at global and regional levels. It was also a pleasure to be an integral part of the team, share in the evening, deliver the goods and go out on a high as I move on to my next venture.

Stefan played an integral role in delivering our 2014 Safety Awards; producing and project managing all event artwork and AV. With the look and feel of the event a testament to Stefan’s skills. His professionalism and creativity is of an extremely high standard, and he is by far the most responsive Graphic Designer I have had the pleasure of working with; he is an incredible resource and a great asset to any team or organisation.

Hot off the press

It’s been a busy month but having just collected my portfolio booklets, I thought I’d post some thoughts on the process I followed to create these, and remember if you’d like your very own collectors copy please contact me…I’ll even throw in a free business card! 🙂

SM Booklet

  • Consider your vision – Just like how businesses create vision statements, you need to create one for you. This will help lay the ground work for what you want to communicate and help maintain your focus.
  • Be consist – Although you’ll have a wide array of interests and talents, you need to pull out all the elements of your personality, your experience and skills and bring them together in one cohesive place.
  • Be yourself – Remember, be confident and let your creativity and style shine through.
  • Leave them wanting more – Don’t overburden the reader with a visual mish-mash. You need to showcase yourself, your skills and create the impression you want but in a definitive and efficient manner.

As this is far from an easy task (and a never ending one), please visit again as I’ll be posting more insights (see, what a tease!) and you can view samples of my work here.
