Dealing with the production flow of work from design to print and press.
I had two designers who work with me, myself and the Creative Director feed them work. I also dealt with the flow of work through the studio, getting media booked in with our media buyers, organising print quotes, supplying work ready for suppliers to work from, sorting out timesheets, preparing job bags for invoice, etc . I dealt with all the IT questions that the other staff had and solved any IT related problems.
I was also the Senior Designer, so was closely involved with clients, listening, understanding their need. Working at all levels from production of adverts and brochures to the design and organisation of web sites.
I was the only designer that could also deal with web construction although I was teaching these skills to the designers under me. -
