I started working with Alex for the first time a month ago. Alex was hired to create a flash puzzle(with menu) for my company. As my knowledge of Flash and how it could be integrated into our environment was limited, Alex took his time to understand and build the requirements necessary to create an adaptable Flash object. Alex created the puzzle according to our guidelines, even helped and consulted me in typography and hosted the prototype on his web server when our server wasn't fully functional before meetings. He has been honest, provided valauable feedback and created a fantastic solution that my manager and I are pleased with. Alex is very punctual with deadlines and does the extra mile to achieve the perfect result. Good is not good enough for him. I can only recommend working with Alex as he is very experienced and his skills are very diverse. He is creative, and masters programming as well as design. You will not regret working with Alex. And I hope to work with him in future

Alex has been a pleasure to work with. He is very dedicated and professional, always delivering above expectations, in time and with high quality. Alex is very skilled in technical development, graphical design and flash development/motion design. Alex is very easy to work with and was very well-seen among his colleagues and clients. Alex also always takes a high-level of responsibility - often more than is demanded from him - for the project which for example shows in that he brings ideas how to run the project more efficient, finding better solutions etc.


I am happy to give my absolutely best recommendations for Alex.

Mediadesign
Graphic Design is a two-year full-time education with a focus on visual communication and graphic design across both traditional and new media. The education prepares students for work as an art director or graphic designer in an editorial context, a design agency, or in a company where graphic design plays a key component in their external communication.
The education unites practical application with theoretical teaching to meet the challenges of contemporary design. A graphic designer must be a complete communicator, able to bring together strategic, critical and creative faculties. The focus of the course is on problem-solving and that from set models one can develop concepts and ideas that can be realised in form. A major emphasis is placed on typography as well as on other graphic tools that students develop to a professional level during their education.
