Diana Ziv graduated from the Queensland College of Art in the late 1980’s with qualifications in advertising, illustration and commercial art.
One of her first jobs was an illustrator for the Yellow Pages – drawing everything from people, plants, cars, buildings, animals in the form of
line art. With the advent of computers Diana was keen to participate in new technology and found through industry opportunities to learn
on the job. ‘There were no experts back then, we had to jump in and teach ourselves and help each other!’ Diana says.
Diana first got her hands on Photoshop 3.0 in 1993, before there were layers in Photoshop! With a lot of experimentation and a boss who
gave Diana the freedom to be creative, she began creating all kinds of effects for publication advertising and editorials. It was at this publication
that Diana was required to art direct photography on a weekly basis. She gained an appreciation of photography through from working closely
with her photographer colleagues.
In 1999, Diana opened her own business ‘Ziv Creative’ and began taking on private design projects. Which she still does today for a select
number of quality clients. However Diana likes to spread her time between working in house for clients, teaching, freelance projects, video
editing and learning 3D modeling.
When asked why she enjoys teaching, Diana said ‘The creative industries is an exciting and ever changing industry to be part of, there is always
something new to learn! It’s a real thrill to be able to share what I have learned over the years and to see my students apply new skills to their
own projects.’
