Hello
I'm Lauren

Graphic Designer
Hello I’m Lauren Gibbs a fresh graduate from the University of Gloucestershire. I have been able to explore a range of pathways whilst studying but my main interests within the creative industry are Brand Identity, Brand Communication, Packaging design and brand strategy. All four of these areas have given me a greater insight in how to make brands and design become consumer led and ensure that it is constantly engaging for the intended audience. I am an enthusiastic designer who wants to be able to develop and is keen to learn more skills through my creative career.

Touch Point Design
Work Placement
I was able to work alongside the Creative Director and Junior Designer where I helped to optimise, populate and update clients websites through Word Press. By learning different functions within this programme it has taught me broader skills on what applications could be used within the creative industry. I was also able to be set mini briefs each day to complete some were live client briefs but others were personal to Touchpoint themselves. The client briefs consisted of GIFs, digital advertisement and learning after effects to bring these designs to life. This placement has taught me a range of new skills and work to live deadlines to ensure the design work was produced and sent in time.

Wild + Wolf
Work Placement
I was involved with observing and learning from the Junior designer on how their development and delivery process worked. I was able to gather a greater insight of this by participating in client briefings and meetings to understand how the studio started and finished briefs. The Creative Director set me a task of using the brand assets to create personal branding and elements within their studio. This helped me to understand how to use brand guidelines to ensure that the designs stay relevant and on brand.
