Bioline
My first graphic design job (1996 -2000), working in-house for Bioline – a biomolecular research company. My parents had lent me the money to buy an Apple Mac and early versions of Photoshop, QuarkXpress and Freehand, and my girlfriend's uncle needed a catalogue designing. What luck! So I upped sticks from the wilds of East Anglia and moved into a gloomy bedsit in Archway. I designed the Bioline logo, was given free-rein to interpret the subject matter, the time I needed to learn my craft and the opportunity to travel to USA, Germany and Italy to work with associates. It was an exciting time to be entering the profession, as visual imaging technology was taking off and had become affordable to the home user. In those days you could make a cup of tea whilst waiting for a Photoshop filter to complete.
