Bio
Samuel Eads
Over the past year working at First News as a junior designer before going to University, Dan has proven himself to be a reliable and hardworking member of the team, who has shown a real hunger to learn new skills and develop his design knowledge. Starting out on smaller tasks and helping to put the newspaper together each week, it was clear that Dan was more than competent at tackling larger client projects, as well as taking more responsibility on the newspaper and First News+ app. He has been a friendly and trustworthy member of the team, always willing to get involved and help out wherever he can, working well under the pressure of constant press deadlines. Dan has been an absolute pleasure to work with and he make a valuable asset to any company.

Graphic Designer

Aug 2013 - Aug 2016
Working as a freelance graphic designer as I have a real passion for the art of graphic design and find it a great, flexible way to keep working while I have time off from University. In the past I have worked with individual clients for their own personal or professional projects as well as larger corporations, should they need extra staff or designers for a project. This type of work has meant that I have had to remain proficient with the necessary software (mainly Adobe Creative Suite), as I alone need to produce the work that my clients will be putting to use.
