With the evolution of advertising in the last 10 years, I have been mastering the media from both above and below the line within:

Advertising

BTL & ATLDirect and Outdoor Marketing

The advertisements come as the brand positioning. After the brainstorming, I start implementing ideas using Software to enhance photos (Adobe Photoshop) & layouting. 

I adapt the Concept mood boards into Newspaper or Magazine Ad, Road’s Lamppost, Highway’s Megacom & scaffolding: Ithmaar Bank, Lighthouse Café, Gaia Jewellery, BenefitPay App. (BAH)


I make sure that the final output adders to the brand image (if the brand is bold,I will be using bold & aggressive visuals).


Digital Media
