Mortimer LOJKA
Resume
After the Fine Arts school and a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, during which I've been intern in studios and advertising agencies, I started working in a packaging agency, managing the design and pre-print process of beverages labels.
I then became graphic coordinator for Pepsi/ Lipton Ice Tea/ Unilever. This allowed me to participate in the complete development of new international designs, manage the roll-out process and make the quality contol at printhouses: I travelled a lot around Europe, meeting printers, trying to optimize the designs and working process and build a strong knowledge of printing techniques.
Working on hundreds of artworks every year, my goals were to have the best communication and the best printed result as possible.
As illustration and typography lover, I now plan to come back to the roots and work on more creative projects.
