Graphic Design
I have worked on brochures of various sizes, created new branding and styles along with leaflets, banners, exhibition stands and other marketing material required using InDesign and Illustrator. I am proficient at creating my own copy and content for our marketing and enjoy being able to work on any areas of the design.
Online Design
I designed and built numerous websites using HTML and CSS as well as given detailed briefs for external web development companies to build websites. I am currently improving my company’s website using WordPress and following completing a course in Digital Marketing I am looking to improve its ranking through SEO.
Digital Design
I am experienced in using 3ds Max alongside AutoCAD in order to help provide clients with a true to life representation of what their site could look like.
Although not often required in my current workplace, I use Adobe Premiere and After Effects for editing or creating visual effects for videos.
Digital Photography
Although I see photography as a hobby, I often get asked to take photos for work, whether that be covers shots, site openings, product photography or company head-shots. Upon completing a photography session I always enjoy developing the photos in the digital sense using Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop if a bit of retouching is required.
Marketing
Being involved in all areas of design resulted in a natural progression into the world of marketing. I often found the design process was held up by lack of copy and content, I therefore went about learning the necessary skills required to fill the gaps. In 2016 I completed a Digital Marketing course to build upon my self-taught education and give me a better insight into the professional methods used.
My name is Simon Hall I am an experienced 3D Graphic Designer based in Canterbury, Kent. I have always been creative and found that with the use of a computer there are no limits.
I studied Multimedia Technology and Design at Kent University. This was the perfect course for me as it allowed me to learn an assortment of graphical methods and introduced me to a wide variety of pieces of software. This allowed me to pick up skills in each area of design and has helped with the workflow and thought process that goes into tasks that require multiple programs to be used at different stages of a project.
Since leaving university I have been able to develop the skills I learnt into those that suit the commercial world of work. Working with other designers has expanded my creativity and spurs me on to constantly challenge myself and never let my designs become static.
