Catalin ILINCA’s Summary

I am a talented creative, flexible in style, manner and field, highly sensitive to detail and with a perfectionist attitude. My experience includes work in print media (ad prints, brochures, posters, stamps, book covers, outdoors etc.), interactive media (web sites, cd-rom's), animation (2D& 3D), motion graphics (intro movies, video editings), illustrations and corporate identities. Due to my working for many clients (LaSexta, BBDO Bucharest, Sony, Philip Morris, Leo Burnett Bucharest, USAID, National Democratic Institute, The National Romanian Television Network, Consultancy Centre for European Cultural Programmes, Canadian Business Association, The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and others) and my contacts with different environments, I have become a versatile professional, experienced in art direction, freelance and corporate work, functioning both individually and as a part of a team.
