Graphic Design at FMG

Suzanne Blake shows us around her projects which she's involved in as a graphic designer for Fortescue Mines.

She shares what tasks she works on as graphic designer, such as designing posters and magazine layouts. She shares the communication skills needed such as working with clients and negotiating prices with suppliers.

Suzanne does FMGL’s internal and some external print design work, some web work in terms of layout design, the intranet, and the internal newsletter.

SkillsOne recently visited tradies who work in the mining industry in the Pilbarra, in Western Australia, run by the Fortescue Metals Group.

Fortescue focusses on iron ore.

Fortescue's port, rail and mine project commenced construction in February 2006 with the turning of the first sod at the Company's port site at Anderson Point in Port Hedland. Just two years later, the open-access rail infrastructure is complete, the Fortescue Herb Elliott Port is operational and the mining operations at the Company's first minesite, known as Cloudbreak, are well underway.
