DARE TO FLY GRAPHIC DESIGN PORTFOLIO
//
2016
PROFILE // ELISE MCKENZIE ABOUT ME I'm an outgoing creative that likes to produce professional, minimal layout designs. I also have a great passion for typography, branding, photography and creating prints. Before coming to The Gordon I had previous experience in the graphic design industry as an apprentice and this is where I learnt many valuable skills and obtained a certificate III in Media. During this time I was also nominated for the Colac Otway Powercor Apprentice of the Year Award in 2014. During the past 12 months I have participated in industry placement where I completed one full week of work experience at Ghanda Clothing at their Head Office in Geelong. While I was there I created prints for men’s and children’s clothing. I also had the opportunity to undertake a second placement at Print Design Australia at their main office in North Geelong where I designed an array of collateral for schools across Geelong and Melbourne. My goals are to continue learning and growing as a designer and I remain open and excited to what the future holds.
