What is your current job?
Art Director.

What sort of work are you doing?
Magazine design and production, from concept to press.

What sort of deadlines do you work to?
It can vary. A dream project would be a 224 page magazine with a 3 month lead. A challenge would be 48 pages in a week. Yikes....

What do you love about Graphic Design?
The chance to be creative every day and the opportunity to work with people who are really good at what they do; writers, photographers, editors and printers.

What do you find inspiring?
Lateral thinkers and people who have a different take on ordinary objects and ways of doing things. They can make me think about things in a different way or send my brain in directions I might not have thought of going in. The every day world can also surprise me - graffiti on an underpass wall, beautiful packaging, TV show titles, a school kid's doodling. I just have to remember to look!

How has Shillington helped you gain employment?
Without a doubt! Shillington helped galvanise my skills and direction and proved to future employers (and me) I was serious about working hard in the real world.
