hello, and thank you for taking the time to go through this quick

summary of my profession-al career and have a look at some of my work.

In the following pages i have put together a few words and details about myself, together with a sample of some of the

work that i have produced along the years. My favourite aspects of design are photo manipu-lation, editorial layout and logo design.

I hope that this document serves its purpose in helping you decide if i can be of any useful service to your business’ design needs.

Shortly after i graduat-ed in communications some 11 years ago,

i started my first full time employment with Standard Publications Ltd., where i worked on all design related jobs ranging from newspaper adverts to the pagination of many supple-ments, First magazine and later on manic! magazine. These 4 years served as my basis and introduction into the professional design field.

Around mid 2004 i hap-pened to be approached by Executive Services Ltd, who i ended up joining and working for with utmost dedication for almost 7 years. At esl my expertise in the design field improved considerably. My passion for design went from being somewhat of a neces-sity, to a way of life. I was exposed to a myriad of design applications, further enhancing my skills and

potential, building relations with clients and earn-ing their trust, increasing my awareness about the whole notion of design in life and how it permeates not only within society, but throughout nature itself.

Which brings me to the now. i recently concluded it was time for me to move on and pursue a life-long dream and give a shot at being self employed. i am currently expanding my small client base, with em-phasis on photo manipula-tion, editorial design and online work contracts.I find the prospect of being in control of my own career very exciting, and am determined and confident that in time i will establish myself in the field and be of service to the industry, never giving up, always be-ing the best i can be, while always trying to bear and spread a smile :)

A QUICKINTRODUCTION

This is a recent photo

manipulation i completed

before leaving Executive

Services Ltd. Part of a set of 9

for Bay Radio’s Live Life

The Bay Way Campaign.

I love photo manipulation,

and would like to focus on it

and introduce more of this

uncommon genre of

advertising here in Malta.

Another artwork for the

Live Life campaign which is

currently not being used.

The image above serves to

show the types of editing

involved, including skin ton-

ing and airbrushing, highlight

and shadow enhancing

and so forth.

Broken shards and splatter

effects are the main com-

ponents applied to this rock

themed campaign artwork.

Magazine artwork created

for a local outdoor sports

company. This is a good

example of artwork created

with a minimal brief and with

no supplied high res artwork.

Another artwork created

with a minimal brief. i was

told to convey a feeling of

relaxation, while still appear-

ing stylish and trendy.

As it turns out, it was deemed

too relaxing when consid-

ering the music actually

played on the station :D

Logo concepts for the wine promo-

tion campaign mentioned earlier.

I like to sketch my ideas whenever

i can before taking them to the

computer, though at times playing

around with elements on screen of-

fers a certain flexibility which is not

always achievable by hand, i feel.

sketches and variants supplied to the

Logo designed for a Maltese

company operating in the UK. The

client provided a brief indicat-

ing that he wished for a basket

full of Maltese foods. The basket

was rebuilt in vector, and the

items drawn from scratch then

vectored, retaining a sketchy look.

I was in charge of producing the past artworks for Bay’s Live Life The Bay Way

campaign. Once again ESL organised a photoshoot and i constructed and

edited the artworks. All of these artworks are heavily edited, often replacing

whole parts of a scene, changing limbs, adding backgrounds etc.

Head was merged with a

different body in order to

achieve a better posture.

Here again the couple was

super imposed onto the back-

ground, taking into considera-

tion size, perspective etc.

A project i completed recently, the design of a fresh

new logo for a renowned local brand. This logo has

been approved and will eventually replace the cur-

rent logo, together with new packaging etc.

That’s all folks - Thank you and keep smiling!

Sometimes you gotta do

whatever it takes to stay

positive and keep yourself

amused lest the stress takes

over completely!
