André Nel - graphic designer

André Nel is a graphic designer at Intouch Interactive Marketing (Pty) Limited who strives for the best and creative designs towards meeting client’s needs. Graphic designers use visual concepts to come up with designs either by hand or software that clients want. During an average day, Nel says he spends most of the day being creative in his work, thinking outside of the box or doing research to help the design process for ideas. “I either get concepts from my clients or I have to create my own from scratch and try to work something out using design elements, until my clients and I are happy with the final product,” says Nel. He says his passion for computers and arts captivated him when he was younger, before looking into graphic design as a career. He believes that one has to have an eye for design and creating different look and feels using various elements. He admits to then trying to make the design perfect and appealing to the eye rather than throw too many elements into it. He says graphic designers need to be have communication skills to communicate with clients and understand design concepts well. A detail-driven approach to work, creative ideas and being innovative with the kind of designs they do so that their work appeals to the public.“When I joined Intouch, I also had the opportunity to work on animation software (Adobe After Effects). My skills are expanding rapidly and with design my skills, I can bring all the elements to life with animation, which is very exciting. What I like the most about my job now is design a concept or layout, and after the client approves it, bring everything to life by adding movement and special effects into the elements,” says Nel when he revealed the highlight of his job.Pull quote: “I either get concepts from my clients or I have to create my own from scratch and try to work something out using design elements, until my clients and I are happy with the final product,” says Nel.A graphic designer should:· Be able to think outside of the box to come up with new ideas.· Can create designs based on the clients specific requirements.· Have a good knowledge about the various programmes needed to create designs.
