Currently, I produce The Motor Caravanner magazine for the NZMCA, a 176+pg bi-monthly industry magazine. This involves photoshopping the cover image, design and layout of the editorial, creating and editing advertisements, then compiling the magazine for print. This involves troubleshooting, organising (and training) a freelancer as support staff for each issue.
Other design work for various clients includes advertisements, DLE promotionals, calendars, newsletters, flyers, stationery, tenders, brochures, booklets, annual reports, as well as publishing social media content, web banners, web ads, and e-newsletters.
For the annual Covi RV SuperShow held over 3 days at Auckland Showgrounds, I produce all the signage and collateral, posters and adverts for print. I also manage their website content, create artwork for digital and print promotions and send out regular EDMs in the lead-up and close of the show.
I have hands-on experience with Google Forms and Form Publisher, including managing and maintaining a complex online quotation form for a cleaning company.
