  Creating print advertisements for companies which are included in the publication called "EUROGUIDE".
  "EUROGUIDE" is a discount guide that we edited twice per year.
  The "EUROGUIDE" is dedicated to all the major banks, hotels and TV stations employees. For example: BCR, Raiffeisen Bank, ABN-AMRO, HVB, ING Bank, Volksbank, Marriott Grand Hotel, Ibis, Crowne Plaza, Sofitel, Intercontinental, Antena 1, Prima TV.
  The entire DTP and mostly all the print ads inside the guide were the result of my own imagination and work. I was the only Graphic Designer and my own Copywriter or Art Director.
  Matching the deadline was my first priority in the design process, the catalogue was finished and printed a few days before the set deadline.
