At Capvar Media I helped create the monthly ‘Vapouround Magazine’ in a small design team, integrating with journalists and the sales team. Alongside this, I organised the production of its sister magazines: ‘Vapouround magazine USA’ and its ‘Show Guide’ specials. Throughout the day I was primarily involved in editorial design and advertising. Through my role here I had also designed various package designs, customer logos, advertising motion graphics and much of their exhibition material which previewed around the world.
Designing for the following publications: Vapouround Magazine, East Midlands Business magazine, Young at Heart magazine, The Derbyshire Guardian newspaper and The Leicestershire Guardian newspaper.

Working in a very small team, with a fast turnover, I often pitched to clients their brand concepts with the assisting consultants.
At Insight, I mostly dealt with challenging start-up companies regularly with small budgets and tight deadlines. I worked closely with developers to design and develop responsive websites, from wireframe to publishing.
Throughout this employment I gained a serious amount of knowledge about digital design and working closely with clients to serve their needs.
