Through that time I worked in many companies with different profiles, therefore I learned much not only about graphic and web design but many other things that come in handy concerning design and use of the latest technology. I've started off my professional career as a web designer in web hosting agency called NetNova. After two years, i've raised my skills and I got the job proposition, again for the web designer position from an advertising agency called Axel Studio, where I worked another couple of years. When I was 22 I've decided that the Poland is not the best place to evolve in my profession, therefore I've decided to try my luck in United Kingdom.  My "trip" took me about seven years of countless adventures and going through different career paths. In one of witch I've got to the level of a Senior Graphic Designer in a small, suburban, print and publishing company called BBC Publishing (not the official or peripheral of original BBC).  My dream was to work in London for a huge game designing company. Unfortunately, it turned out that except my experience in digital graphics I need to get some academic knowledge and the degree to be even consider.  I've graduated from the University of Plymouth in 2011 with a BSc degree in Digital Art and Technology, and.... Well, I've finally decided to come back home from my long trip and stay for a while. At the moment I'm a Creative Graphic Designer in an advertising agency called About Ad in Poznan and also trying my skills as a freelancer.  In future I would like to start my own studio or get the hell out of here ;) My Style   Through all these years I've learned a lot almost about every segment of the graphic design and a hint of programming as well. Vector graphics - I found myself very comfortable with a use of all the adobe package but mostly with Illustrator and Photoshop. I'm majorly starting all my projects sketching them on tablet in Illustrator,  then passing whole concept to Photoshop to get extra effects. Web graphics - i've been designing web pages from around 12 years. I'm majorly using flat vector like design with some extra effects from Photoshop and a few extra 3d elements. Except the design I'm also capable to create whole web structure, database system, CMS, administration panels etc. in PHP, MySQL and also Flash, MXLX technologies. 3D -  lately I'm using some 3D for my designs but not only. At the University I've learned a lot about the graphics programming, like DirectX, shader language, Java and OpenGL. And so whenever i'm free I'm working on my 2,5D isometric game project. hide
