Past Experience:
Evalu-8 Software LTD (2021 - 2022)
Graphic Designer and Marketing Assistant
As Evalu-8's Graphic Designer Rae created visuals the company still uses to this day including their logo, mascot design (Eve) and social media templates that are used in their marketing. This job gave her vital experience of how corporate art and social media interact. After this experience they are confident in their use of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop.
ColorFoto (2019)
Colour Corrector and Photo Editor
Rae gained experience in volume editing, becoming proficient in usage of the Adobe Cloud (specifically Lightroom and Photoshop) and improved their confidence in working under tight deadlines in a high pressure environment. Their concept of colour theory was challenged and improved throughout the course of this experience.
'Nostalgia' Exhibition, SHO Gallery (2018)
Contributing Artist and Curator
During their illustrative studies at the University of South Wales, they curated a gallery exhibition as part of the final year's module. Responsible for checking the artwork was of high quality and delivered by deadlines, they also communicated with the venue and mounted over 20 pieces before opening to the general public. They gained invaluable experience in event organisation and felt this was a definining moment in their ability to communicate and curate. The opening night was an outstanding success, with industry professionals in attendance.
