In my last position in UCD Students Union I was responsible for designing and maintaining an extremely popular website at UCDSU.net. This entailed responsiblility for graphic design work such as creating a new logo to brand both the union and the site with a consistent identity which it previously lacked.

I was also responsible designing campaign based information posters and laying out union publications. I was also resposnible for submitting them to printers using software such as Photoshop, Quark and In design on this year long contract. This job entailed starting from scratch in both the aesthetic presentation of the union, as well as more importantly creating a major communication infrastructure where none existed before, and then of course all of this needed to be promoted intensively on campus.

A major aspect of this job involved working as part of team and engaging in a rapid turnover of briefs, as well as consulting with representatives over the best way to carry out campaigns. I was also involved in the organization of major on-campus events like the Freshers Ball, The Democracy Now Campaign, various gigs and fundraisers, as well as engaging in media monitoring. As the job finished, I also had to seek a successor through an interview process and train them into the position.
