As graphic designer and marketing specialist within Harman International (formerly AMX), my role involves creation of content for digital signage systems, graphical user interface designs for touch panels, and creation of material for print/web. This is achieved using in-house software, as well as Adobe Suite CC. In this position, I have worked with NBCUniversal, Manchester United, O2 and various universities to provide creative digital signage whilst ensuring output closely follows branding guidelines. Alongside traditional graphic design duties, I also create After Effects-based animations for digital signage and edit videos for marketing, drawing upon my previous video/animation experience. Responsibilities include: • Digital signage creation • Marketing and in-house literature • Animation (used in digital signage content and in-office video) • Video editing • Touch panel G.U.I. design • Digital signage content management - remotely uploading content to digital signage players around the country, ensuring they are scheduled to go live and expire as per clients' requests. Utilised Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Illustrator, as well as in-house developed digital signage content software. Show less
