My name is Giulio Fermetti and I was born in Rome, on 16 March 1965. I have been working as a professional graphic designer since 1989.
Over the last 30 years, I have built up so profound a knowledge of the Adobe software suite [Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop first and foremost] as to hold training courses, specialising in editorial graphics, branding and coordinated image, illustration and infographcis.
You may find a portfolio of my more recent work at issuu.com/essegistudio/docs/essegistudio_roma.
Regarding by editorial graphics projects, I began by joining the studio of the great Piergiorgio Maoloni, creating layouts for the daily newspaper “il manifesto” [including the supplements], “Sfera”, “Eupalino” and more besides.
From 2002 to 2009, I worked at studenti.it [which has now merged with Banzai Media], as“ CMYK guru”, i.e. chief project, making and printing officer of all the group’s paper magazines [“Yet-Studenti.it”, “Tribu” and “Studenti Magazine”], developing the diaries, calendars and various advertising pages, for self-promotion and other purposes.
In 2014, with Essegistudio [a small but very active graphic design studio, which I founded in 2006], we won a nationwide competition organised by Telecom Italia Media, for creating the logo (and related brand book) of the newly-established holding company “Persidera”.
Since 2007, I also work for the “Formiche” Foundation, creating the layouts for and illustrating their two monthly magazines “Formiche” and “Airpress”, involving 170 printed pages per month.
I have worked for a number of daily newspapers [“Europa”, “Il Romanista”, “Il Clandestino”], building up an in-depth familiarity with the work of editorial offices and their stringent deadlines.
I work with Quark XPress since release 3 [1990] and Adobe InDesign since release 1.0. For illustration work, I prefer vectors [Adobe Illustrator], although I am fully skilled in airbrushing, photomontages, corrections, etc. with Adobe Photoshop.
I have also been working in the field of infographics on an almost daily basis, for a number of years now, at the editorial offices of the daily newspaper “Europa”, and for a studio providing infographics for the Italian news agency Agi – Agenzia Giornalistica Italiana.
