about me
Freelance Graphic Designer Sydney Australia
My name is David Dobson and I am the owner and Creative Director of “dD Promotion & Design”, hence the dD in the title, dDP&D is a boutique agency specialising in enhancing brands through evolving, strategic creative.
I have a comprehensive background across most areas of design gained from a designing career, spanning over 20 years. Currently being a Freelance Graphic Designer Sydney Australia, my strengths and expertise are in the strategic design and concept of consumer promotions, packaging, point of purchase collateral (POP), direct marketing, corporate identity, brand development, catalogues, web and app design and project management, servicing both B2B and B2C portfolios.
As any professional will tell you, “good design starts with communication and collaboration”, I have a great deal of success and experience working with many clients such as McDonald's, Coke, Eveready, Energizer, Woolworths, Schick and Bic to name few of the major brands. I was also heavily involved with working in partnership with licensors ranging from Disney and Marvel to Hasbro and DreamWorks to achieve the best possible outcome and taking into account a timely delivery, budget management that all boast exceptional results for the brands and all stake holders involved.
I am passionate about working with my clients to explore and develop strategic creative solutions that deliver beyond their expectations and to lift their brands/product to new heights.
Now, a bit about my previous industry experience, a major part of my professional career was gained as a Creative Director at Creata. Creata is a global promotions agency with an extensive world wide, industry leading blue chip client base. As the Creative Director, in the Sydney studio, I led and directed a team of graphic designers that developed industry and consumer recognised creative solutions in an array of medias for all of Creata’s global clients.
Prior to designing with Creata I designed for Roadshow Entertainment. For a number of years, as a senior designer, I designed retail and sell-through labels including Roadshow Music and Roadshow Digital. At Roadshow I was part of the team that designed and created the first DVDs' including user menus and packaging that were introduced into Australia and New Zealand.
In 1996, operating under a previously owned and operated partnership I was the sole designer of the 1996 Coca Cola Summer Promotion including all the POP collateral and products that were the principal retail items for that successful program.
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for spending the time browse my site. Should you feel that there is something that you would like to explore, to grow and enhance your brand please feel free to contact me and we can discuss the possibilities.
