Junaid Marakkar
Designer, Art Director, and Photographer in the United Arab Emirates
Designing is not a job for me it is my life and passion, for me designing is not just cropping and trimming, but it is the sculpting of life from the lifeless. Am confident enough to do any sort of works at any time. Because of my devotion to my work I never be irreverent, irresponsible and irrational on my works. As an artist throughout my life, I will be always using my heart (not my brain) to paint the portrait of my life. I don't want to sleep when a work haunts me; and I always love sleepless nights.
I have a total work experience of 5 years as a Graphic Artist. I am well versed in different areas of design and have successfully designed solutions for print media and Advertisements. My key duties and responsibilities include:
Identity design and branding.
Brand manuals or style guides.
Annual reports, sustainability reports, newsletters, magazines etc…
Design of campaign collaterals such as press kits, giveaway items, banners both print and web, the script for explainer video and whiteboard animations, web creatives etc…
Web page UI designs.
Working with Wordpress platform.

Package designs for products.
Discussion with print production managers or supervisors about papers, color tones, die, foil, UV, emboss etc.. to get a good result of printing.
Assist account planners to make the project more price affordable for the clients at the same time profitable to the agency or company.
Meeting clients for the discussion of projects and convince the concept behind the designs.
