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 infographics.
You may find a portfolio of my more recent work at issuu.com/essegistudio/docs/essegistudio_roma.
Regarding my 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 (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, 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 layouts for and illustrating their two monthly magazines “Formiche” and “Airpress”, involving over 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 and more 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.
