Massix Creative Agency
Graphic & Web Designer
Web Design – Created complex websites to build detailed WordPress sites using e-commerce and custom coded forms. I also used FTP software to configure servers that we would host the website and domains on. Furthermore, I would build custom email setups for clients.
Graphic Design – Being head designer I was responsible for sourcing raw materials for client briefs to meet their needs and expectations. I would then use my creative skills to enhance thorough designs that range but are not limited to: Logos, Flyers, Posters, Business Cards, Hi Res Signs / Banners, Digital Adverts, Clothing and Mock Ups.
Social Media Content – Respected the clients brand imagery and learnt to work with and around the current branding to create unique designs that are adaptable to the specific business. I was able to target certain demographics to get the ultimate reach interaction with people around the world whether through video, image or text posts. In addition, I used HubSpot to post and schedule weekly posts ahead of time across all client’s social media accounts.
Marketing Campaigns – Built market campaigns from scratch using a range of designs and tools to push a sale of a product / service. I also set up new blogs and websites to gain extra promotion and a bigger outreach of new and potential clients for the website.
S.E.O – Used search engine optimisation plugins to advance keyword searches, inbound / outbound links, meta tags, image tags, and more. Created Google campaigns and setting up Google My Business to show up better on google listings. I also hard coded S.E.O into the websites themselves.
Video Editing – Brought the clients vision to life. I worked on a mixture of video edits whether that be logo strings for a social advert or story boarding and recording a full video to then edit on Premiere Pro / After Effects. I was also able to create 2d adverts using image transitions and typography.
Photography – Either in the studio or on the street, I would meticulously plan to actively go out and photograph people, products and surroundings that would suit the theme for the client’s project. I used Lightroom to get the best results and DLSR’s for a perfect crisp image.
Printing – Designed digital artworks for various types of prints and used bleed lines & Hi-Res images for large, scaled ones. I created full clothing range designs including accessories such as tags, stickers and labels.
