Hello! I’m evans kobb. I am a third year BA Hons student studying Graphic Design at The University of Nairobi. Throughout my degree I have worked on a range of briefs including branding, web design, user interface design and magazine design. During these briefs I improved upon my team work and communication skills in group assignments, whilst developing my organisation skills and self motivation by working on self innovated projects. By working on a range of projects this has helped me to gain a deeper understanding of each aspect that is needed for graphic design. This has given me the skills needed to work in this environment including having an in-depth knowledge in areas such as branding, typography, layout adjustment and digital design. Taking my skills further and having done a vast amount of training in software such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Muse, I have improved the quality of my work and my software skills. I have also gained experience in using Dreamweaver and Axure for application prototyping, HTML and CSS. During my studies, I visited kakan Publishing Limited on a two-week placement to learn about how their company functions as a whole, how they put together a working product that suits their clients needs, and to gain knowledge in the digital aspect of the company. This work placement, combined with research, influenced me to help create a business with two friends, a business student and a programming student, to gain the experience of working for real clients. By working together in a professional sense, we created a web design, social media and marketing business. This meant that we were able to work collaboratively as a team, to ensure our work matched our client expectations and outcomes.
