Who I am
I am Marie Claire Cremona, a graphic designer residing in Malta. I loved art as soon as I grabbed a pencil in my hand. This passion led me to an interesting hobby and even to an A‘ level in art. I wanted to continue studying and to engage my passion for art, creativity and graphical communication. This opened the path for a career in graphic design.

I like clean and modern design, along with ideas that work and that communicate the message or concept. I also like vector graphics, typography, the use of raw materials and handmade stuff, photography and semiabstract/cubist paintings. I like neutral colours and natural effects, mostly of paper and textures.

I recently completed the MCAST BTEC Higher National Diploma in Graphic Design. Currently I am pursuing my degree - B.A. (Hons) in Graphic Design and Interactive Media. I am constantly developing and improving my skills. I also gained experience working as a freelancer.

What I use
I work a lot with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and Premier. I have also worked with Adobe Flash, Dreamweaver, Director, Fireworks and 3D Studio Max.
