I happened to work for the printed media on many occasions, for different targets and on different formats and products. Here is a sample of my work, mainly for illustrating the different kinds of product I designed (I skipped the many flyers I did…).
In my current position at SUPSI-DFA (since 2013) I coordinate institutional communication, and we produce a lot of printed media stuff. For this, I like to team up with professional graphic designers.
