Alex Barlow

Studying Graphic Communication and Illustration at Loughborough University I have gained an array of transferable skills that apply to different design fields, such as app interface design, augmented reality, animation, branding and so on. This allows me to apply myself to multi-disciplinary design roles. Being an ideas person, I am enthusiastic to push the boundaries of design with consideration to the parameters set. Always relishing brainstorming, I have learnt how to execute my ideas with effective visual communication, captivating the target audience.
