Pim Rakers’s Summary

I recently started my own company to make it easier for clients to hire me as a freelance graphic designer. I like to design things in a new way and make a more out of the box design that stands out and gives you a different perspective on the subject.
Working with my hands is something that comes along easily. Drawing, silkscreen printing, etching, analogue photography. As long as it gives me dirty hands I like it.

Pim Rakers’s Specialties:

graphic design, photography, Adobe software

Pim Rakers’s Experience

• Graphic Designer (Medior)

  TriMM Multimedia

  (Graphic Design industry)

  July 2008 — Present (1 year 5 months)

  Preferences, atmosphere, personality and identity, that is: who is the client, what does the client want and how do users experience a website? Important questions that we, the graphic designers, answer together with the client. The visual design of concepts and information on the Internet: that is our area of expertise.
  A good website is functional: the user must be able to use it intuitively. We check with our interaction designers whether the layout and user interface are linked seamlessly together to guarantee user satisfaction.
  We will continue to be involved in our designs after delivery through microsites, banners and other graphics maintenance.
