Volunteering
Raised over £2650 for humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine via the sales of A3-A5 posters that were printed via Risograph. Me and other students from Graphic Design & Illustrations put forward designs to be printed and sold. The group/event was highly successful with our main supporting lecturer stating it was his most proudest moment he's felt in his lecturing career thus far. I aided the group in the following ways:
- Lead Organiser. Me and 2 other students became lead organisers for the group by stepping up to take on the most roles and doing most of the decision making.
- Risograph Operator. In our print run for the event, the group was able to output around 270-300 A3 sheets in 4 hours of 20 different designs that featured 2-3 colours. I took the lead in operating the Risograph and handled faults and any issues that came up.
- Sales. We did payment via direct donation to charities, packaging posters into transport material/plastic sheets if they weren't already and keeping count of the money we raised by logging data onto a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
- Photography. I took photographs during the event for safe keeping and promotion/marketing via Instagram.
