About
I’m Vidal, a digital designer and a Photoshop afficinado. Digital design being a broad discipline, I have skills within graphic design (my strengths being branding & identity, layout, typography & color), web- and digital product design, UX, visual communication, video, and even some 3D. I have been trained to design a complete digital product, which suits me as I have always benefited from solving problems while looking at the wholeness.
My strengths:
– I like to offer creative solutions. I also dare to offer creative solutions a la my creative guru Alf Rehn (the voicing of which can ask for a bit of courage at times);
– I can coach Photoshop in my sleep;
– capacity of obtaining new skills: the mini-3D-game in this portfolio was created in 6 weeks, starting with zero knowledge in either 3D or game programming;
– deeper understanding of Japanese and Thai design, as well as minimalism;
– I can draw inspiration from a traditional Japanese book layout to create a unique web design for international target audience;
– I understand the goals of both an artist and a business owner since I’ve been both;
– I am international, comfortable with the dynamics of the globalisation;
– what I ever lacked in terms of problem-solving capacity & patience, I have obtained thanks to the military-type training I have involuntarily received from my kid 🙂
