Digital Designer

The Furnace (EURO Rscg), Sydney

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Marketing and Advertising industry)

October 2006 — December 2006 (3 months)

Charles Clapshaw, Head of Digital, The Furnace Sydney:

"This year we had the pleasure of having Giovanni Vocale work with us at The Furnace as an intern in the creative department from 16 October until 23 December 2006. Giovanni worked predominately on digital projects and quickly became an essential part of the
team. He is a very talented designer who creates beautiful work autonomously – but is also handy at flash and action script - a very rare skillset which means he can lead a project from concept to
final production.

Brands Giovanni worked on include:
Electrolux
Epson
FreeTV
HP
Peugeot
Skins

It was a pleasure to work with Giovanni and I sincerely hope that he can return to Australia one day and work with the team again in the near future."
