They encompass a
wide range of knowledge in which they use to produce an original design. They
excel at responding to industry and professional changes. However, their ability to constantly be creative is what really allows them to be successful in their profession.
To gather more insight on this profession, we decided to
interview one of Ash City’s best, Elyse Del Brocco, our Marketing Graphic
Designer.
Elyse has been working with Ash City for 11 months. Although
she is a fairly new addition to our team we have managed to keep her extremely
busy.
As a Marketing Graphic designer she works on promotion pieces, e-blasts, custom and seasonal flyers, tradeshow banners and posters and Good Points Magazine. In addition to this, she also works on pieces for upcoming occasions, such as: wine tasting invites, Fashion Show Programs, e-vites (etc.).

As she likes to put it, “basically
any job the marketing department needs designed.”
As this profession can be stressful, we asked Elyse what keeps
her motivated in her career.
“I love the great
people I get to work with and the great work atmosphere. I love doing anything
creative and coming up with new exciting ideas!”
Mary Rau-Foster, author of Motivating Moments” discusses the importance of having a fun
atmosphere at work and how it can increase productivity. It helps destroy
boredom and fatigue, increase creativity, and enhances communication.
Therefore, it is no surprise that Elyse’s exciting work environment keeps her
motivated in here career and successful when coming-up with original ideas.
However, despite the great atmosphere it can still be
difficult to find inspiration. Although you can refer to other designs for
inspiration, experience has also taught Elyse that it is important to keep an open
mind and look for inspiration in places that you may not expect.
“I definitely turn to
the internet for inspiration, but I am always on the lookout for new
inspiration everywhere I am and most times I don’t even realize until it
sparks.”
Elyse has been working in this profession for a long time
and looks forward to continuing to grow her knowledge and experience. In the
beginning, this profession can be very overwhelming and Elyse offers some
advice to the aspiring professionals.
She explains that having some basic knowledge of the
industry you are about to work for is extremely beneficial. It will not only
allow you to understand office lingo, but help you create more effective
designs that will appeal to your target market.
“I wish I knew more about clothes, working for and apparel
company terms like Yoke were very confusing at first”
Ash City is very happy to have Elyse as part of our team! She always adds her personal touch to everything she designs, which makes each design more exciting and original than the other.
