RESUME
My personal Resume page for those who are interested in working with me
Resume
Some may call it Curriculum Vitea (CV), I call it Resume.
Where am I working now?
I’m currently an employee of a consultancy company that mostly implements European Union projects in Turkey. I have 2 main responsibilities in my current: (1) Assist current projects (2) Help to win new projects.
(1) I provide assistance in graphic and web design to current projects in creating websites, brochures, billboards, newsletters, business cards etc. Working with the European Union and other government type institutions bring some rules and restrictions in to the graphic design. At this point creativity is lost which means formality begins. Below you can find some samples of my work from different projects.
(2) Europen Union, World Bank, UNICEF and other governmental, non-governmental institutions are opening hundreds of new tender opportunities. A complete Technical Proposal is composed of hundreds of pages with different sections. Most companies are turning in their Technical Proposal in basic text format such as Microsoft Office Word’s format. At this point I take the Word version of the Technical Proposal and transform it into a book or magazine style publication with using Adobe InDesign software which allows for creation of a document which looks visually good and rich. Below you can find a sample page and front cover from a Technical Proposal. It’s a confidential document so text at the sample doesn’t reflect original document.
What am I good at specifically?
Adobe InDesign: There is nothing wrong to say I’m fully capable of handling InDesign program. I’m usually busy creating hundreds of pages using InDesign.
Adobe Photoshop: Hard to say I’m good at drawing but I’m good at editing and manipulating photos, making collages and posters or any kind of pixel based graphics.
Photography: I believe that taking great pictures is not solely due to the photographer’s talent or expensive equipments. I believe that a good photographer knows how and where to look at along with where to stand. I call it “the photographer’s eye”. The main requirements to take a great picture is finding a good moment and right timing. It depends on how you can be more patient for the right timing and how further you can search for your good opportunity/moment. I always pay attention to these matters.
I’m interested in nature, landscape, street, stock, macro, night, photojournalism and still life photography.
Content Management: I’m an editor and moderator in various websites since 2001. I was the editor and administrator of www.turkiyef1.com between the years of 2001-2004. We also published a weekly newspaper about Motorsports for the first time in Turkey. After that in 2007 I began my moderation career at the biggest Turkish Trance Music Community, TR-ance.com.
I like to collect and share interesting news around the world. I can analyse people’s common interests and show them what they want to see in a website or in a publication. I’m interested in gaming, music, photography, graphics and motorsports sectors.
Some other areas that I’m good at are: WordPress, Gaming, Blog, Organisation, DJing (Former DJ of a Local Club), Adobe Illustrator, Freehand MX, Video & Audio Editing (Basic), Hardwares & Softwares of MAC / Windows, Tech Gadgets, Printers…
Graphic Design 50%
Web Design 30%
Photography 20%
What’s my dream job?
I would love to work for a company that will allow me to mix all my skills that I stated above. Where I can do more for the company I work for I will than be much happier for myself.
My dream job will be in a creative advertisement agency, photography agency, a website / publication (magazine, newspaper etc.) that requires content management, photography and graphic design or any kind of freelance job that will allow me to work with a free mind based on my skills.
However I know these types of opportunities are very few in the world. Otherwise I wouldn’t call it a dream job. If you have any interest in me and my work please feel free to contact me.
If you have an exciting and creative projects for a charity,contest or something else that I can put my talent to work then again feel free to contact me.
I can’t provide some of my work samples here due to corporate privacy. For any kind of work samples please contact me.
