The Clash is the only band that matters, a slice of
bread in the cookie jar will keep the cookies soft,
and The Shawshank Redemption was a Stephen
King novella before it was a great movie.
Besides useless information, I know the creative process
can be very focused or all over the map. Either way, my favorite thing is to be part of that process and seeing a
project develop from start to finish. I have learned that
creativity is a subjective and often unpredictable journey,
but it is important to enjoy the journey.
Tech Stuff
Adobe InDesign is superior to QuarkXPress but I am vastly experienced in both applications. Adobe Photoshop is the most incredible software ever written and Adobe Illustrator has been my favorite program since 1988. In addition to design, I have been known to illustrate building facades,
floor plans, dimensional maps, stylized icons, custom type fonts, and cartoon characters. I know basic HTML, PHP, Dreamweaver, programming FileMaker database systems, and how to animate in Macromedia Flash. “Jack of All
Trades” is my official title.
Other Stuff
Need someone to setup and supervise a photo shoot,
review printer proofs, fly to Chicago for that crucial press check? Been there, done that.
How about building custom prototypes and comps to
represent a concept as it will be when completed or build interactive electronic versions of print pieces? I can do that.
