Résumé
Five years, in full
Ilaria Cresci
Five years of design training, three placements, three weeks working in Spain, six months in an agency and a dozen projects that made it to print.
I trained at CFP G. Zanardelli in Edolo, first as a hypermedia graphic operator, then as a graphic technician, and finally with an IFTS specialisation in multimedia production. Alongside that I worked: agency placements from my second year, a photography studio in Seville, advertising sets, and six months' apprenticeship building websites and looking after clients. What interests me is carrying on with graphics, web and photography without having to pick just one.
