David Gillard-Allen

Bachelor of Design in Graphic Design (Honours)

About me:

Im a Kiwi born photographer/designer, with a keen interest in the fictional, myths, legends, stories, characters. Those are what I love to include in my work, and in which my passion lies.

​

I’m an archer, sailor and kayaker, and have won several national competitions in archery. I’m definitely at home in both the forest and the sea. 

​

Im not your typical 'designer', I don't have oversized designer glasses, tight red pants and a hipster haircut. Im an open minded practical guy, who sees things for what they are, and enjoys the world for what it is. I like to think this comes through in my work. I don't see the need to blindly follow trends if they have no relevance to the project nor 

purposefully discard them just for the sake

of being 'different'.

I am more than proficient with camera and lighting, and just as if not more importantly, I have a good eye for visual appearance which is a boon for photography and design work alike. 

​

While I have a lot of practical skills in Photoshop, 

indesign, lightroom and other creative softwares, my biggest strengths lie in my imagination and creativity. Thinking up ideas and conceptualising are what I'm best at, and what I would love to utilise in my future career.

​

In terms of practical skills, I specialise in photography, photo editing, photo manipulation and montage. As well as 2D design work and creative directing.

What can I do?

Where I'd like to be:

In terms of dream jobs of the future I have a few aspirations. Among them are jobs like:

Creating photography and design for movie posters

or thinking up and designing promotional events and teasers for games/movies. Wildlife photography and film making are also some

things that I would love to be a part of.

​

Above all I would love to work at Riot Games, especially in some part of the conceptualising process for game content or teaser material.
