I would like to introduce myself as James Lamont, a multi-disciplined graphic designer with significant experience within the design sector. I was previously part of a small team working closely with a large advertising sales department, based in Portsmouth and also at other centres across the south. My role included the production of bespoke advertising campaigns, magazine design and marketing material to promote the companies brand and events.

I was required to communicate with many departments across the group both locally and remotely, in parallel with our workflow management systems. I was also confident in meeting key account clients directly and independently.

Print deadlines ranged from daily through to a quarterly schedule; so I am well equipped to deal with the rapid turnaround often required within this field of work. In some instances return was expected within a number of hours; this in turn allowed me to fully appreciate projects that offered further opportunity to develop creatively over longer periods of time.

I began offering freelance creative services to allow myself the opportunity to further develop my skills beyond the Newspaper/Publishing sector. My work includes: branding & logo design, magazine & report publication, exhibition graphics, website design plus email and social-media marketing. The additional responsibility of having to compile costings for these projects has helped me to focus on providing a creative solution within a set budget and time frame; whilst also ensuring that on each occasion the expectations of my clients are met.
