Paul Magee’s Summary
An Honours degree graduate and a qualified member of the International Society of Typographic Designers. 20 years as a designer/typographer, 14 years in digital communications/design. 6 years as a Creative Director/consultant. In that time I have worked on some of the most enviable brands and with some of the most respected agencies in the UK.
In 1999 I co-founded and ran the highly successful Scottish Digital communications agency itsnotrocketscience.com (creative director/co-founder). I have worked on major projects that span many media formats from print, brand development, CD and DVD, motion graphics/video production, web development, online advertising/marketing, touch-screen, installation art and digital display advertising.
I've met some great people along the way and have learned a great deal in the process and thankfully I still hold dear the original values I had when I first set up itsnotrocketscience.
