Ash Hoque

MOTION DESIGNER

As a youngster, I always had a fascination with Graphics and Motion Design. I would rush home from school and jump straight on YouTube to watch tutorials and try to create whatever I could on whatever free software I could get my hands on. It was this passion that landed me my first role at ITN known for being at the heart of the media landscape, producing daily award-winning news programmers for ITV, Channel 4, and Channel 5.

After 2 years of mastering my craft, I now work as part of the Motion Design Team at SKY. 

AM

The week usually starts on a Monday. I start the day by checking my emails and then jump straight into a design meeting with the Head of Design. 

After the meeting, each designer is allocated a newsroom team that they will be working with during the week.

I then attend another meeting with the newsroom team and we run through the project brief and creative direction 

Once the meeting is over I get straight to work. 

PM

After a quick bit of lunch, I make sure everything is complete and send it off to marketing. Once I get some feedback and do some amendments it gets signed off and appears Online or on TV. 

  1. If you want to become a designer always make sure you have an updated showreel and a website that showcases your best work.
  2. If you are headed to an interview always show the interviewer, you are not the finished article as you are willing to learn and don’t dress too smart or too casually.
