Website and Social Media graphics and designs for the International Labour Organization

Since January 2009, I've been in charge of the ILO's YouTube Channel branding, most graphics on the website and all its social media platforms.

I support the improvement and correct implementation of plans and activities necessary for video distribution outreach using platforms such as YouTube, and the development of other social media tools such as Facebook and Twitter. I also look for additional online marketing tools and provide recommendations to enhance the Organization's visibility, keeping up to date videos pages on the ILO website (WCMS and HTML based). I provide design-related initiatives and promotional materials throughout the Organization; collaborate in the creation and maintenance of the image of the Organization as a value-added brand and assist in promoting the technical work, both internally and externally. I also provide technical support in the promotion of a focused branding and strategic approach to the Organization's name, visual recognition, public relations efforts, and campaigns (such as for Child and Forced Labour, Disabilities, HIV/AIDS and the International Labour Conference) across all visual communication media.

II International Seminar of Police Service "Police Reaction Facing informatics' crimes"

Image of Seminar

I was in charge of the design of the image for the Second International Seminar of Police Service "Police Reaction Facing informatics' crimes", including multimedia presentation made in Flash, photography and edition, and the production for the promotional material by developing strategies for displaying and publicizing.



This experience provided to me a plethora of aspects to discover my interpersonal and professional skills, in addition, I realised the strength that I hold working alone and collaboratively often with multiple tasks and under deadline pressure. I used different software at the same time in a highly demanding environment, grounded on the very strict corporate image that the high rank police officials of the Dirección de Policia Judicial - DIJIN- (Central Directorate of the Judicial Police and Intelligence) manage.
