As Design and Production Manager I introduced new procedures to help effectively run the departments. Amongst these measures I developed several excel spreadsheets that fed into each other, automating much of the admin needed.
Design Briefs
I key part of my role was to create briefs for the design team. Each member of the department had work allocated/updated on a weekly basis dependent on skills and workload. Concise briefs were written so reducing the approval process by having a clear concept from the start.
Printing Plates
One of my tasks as designer was to produce printing plates for images that would be affixed to our collectible covers. A multitude of images would be passed over with varying print quantities and sizes so a Tetris type mission was undertaken to find the best possible fit/quantity for each image/plate with cost effectiveness and wastage being key.
Stamp Centre Shop Refurbishment
In addition to new dual branding for what was essentially two shops within one space I had to develop a new internal layout to best serve both businesses. This including new/repurposing fittings, new flooring and new decor/branding throughout.
