About me
Who am I
My name is Matej Lepej, I am 26 years old and I come from Pivka, Slovenia. I have been a freelance web / graphic designer for more than 7 years and studied at Institue and Academy of Multimedia in Ljubljana. Durring high school, I have spent a lot of my free time reading about web design, color theories and other design related stuff. Most of this knowledge was self-thought, but I am still upgrading it, since new trends and techniques in this business show up almost every day. I am able to work on solo projects as well as on some bigger ones, where I often team up with some of the leading design agencies in Slovenia. I am ussualy responsible for the design of new upcoming websites as well as for the redesign of some older ones. I have also been involved in some Corporate Identity designs, branding and print designs. You can see some of my work under the tab Portfolio.
My skills
What do I do
I possess comercial knowledge and experience of the folowing software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, CSS, HTML and xHTML, Javascript and some Content Management Systems like Wordpress. I can provide a complete website presentation, from early sketches, webdesign mock-ups in Photoshop, slicing and coding (which brings your new website to life) and CMS integration after which you can simply manage your content without any coding knowledge.
Interests
What do I like
As a sport enthusiasts so I spend a lot of my free time doing different activites. I love playing nine-pin bowling, which is mostly popular in the middle Europe and in which I have become a world champion (pair event) not so many years ago. In summer, I like to go out and play tennis, go for a good swim or do some hiking. Since winter is maybe my favourite part of the year, nothing is better than a good ski day on a beautiful snowy slope in Slovenia.
O meni
Kdo sem
Moje ime je Matej Lepej, star sem 26 let in prihajam iz Pivke. Sem samostojni grafični oblikovalec, na tem področju delujem že več kot 7 let. Srednjo šolo sem zaključil kot dijak športnega oddelka na Gimnaziji Ljubljana Šiška, nadaljeval pa na Inštitutu in Akademiji za Multimedije. Že med srednjo šolo sem veliko prostega časa namenil izobraževanju na področju spletnega oblikovanja. Večino znanja sem pridobil samoiniciativno, še vedno pa ga redno nadgrajujem, saj se novi trendi in tehnike v tem poslu pojavljajo tako rekoč vsak dan. Poleg tega, da delam na samostojnih projektih, pogosto sodelujem z različnimi oblikovalskimi agencijami, kjer največkrat oblikujem grafično podobo novih ali prenovljenih spletnih mest. Poskrbel sem tudi že za nekaj celostnih grafičnih podob podjetij. Več o nekaterih mojih preteklih projektih, si lahko pogledate pod zavihkom Projekti.
Moja znanja
Kaj delam
Posedujem komercialne izkušnje in znanje iz Photoshopa, Illustratorja, Dreamweaverja, CSS, HTML in XHTML ter Javascripta. Odlično poznam CMS sisteme, predvsem splošno razširjeni Wordpress. Z drugimi besedami, s svojim znanjem vam lahko zagotovim celovito spletno predstavitev, od začetnih skic, prek same grafične podobe spletne strani v Photoshopu, razreza in kodiranja, ter priklopom sistema za upravljanje vsebine, s katerim lahko preprosto upravljate z vsebino na spletni strani.
Hobiji in ostale stvari
Kaj me zanima
Kot navdušen športnik, kar nekaj prostega časa namenim različnim športom. Največ se ukvarjam s kegljanjem, ki je najbolj razširjeno v srednji Evropi in v čemer sem pred leti postal tudi svetovni prvak v dvojicah. Poleg tega poleti veliko časa preživim na teniških igriščih ter na morju, pozimi pa se s smučmi najraje podam na bele snežne strmine. Uživam ob ogledu dobrega filma ali nadaljevanke, ter v dobrem večeru in druženju s prijatelji.
