Self-employed Graphic Designer/Production Artist – experienced with advertising, branding and marketing fundamentals. Providing clients with design direction thru the final produced artwork. I can guide and assist you with the complicated process of getting your projects designed, executed, and delivered.
Over my 25 years with Cleveland based ad agencies and design studios, I've worked on marketing projects ranging from multi-page brochures, product catalogs, data and sales sheets, advertisements, direct-mail campaigns, trade show materials, brand identities and guidelines, and corporate PowerPoint decks.
I can work as a team member or independently, transforming content into an informative, persuasive piece of visual communication. If you’re looking to elevate your brand visual and differentiate yourself from your competition working with an experienced graphic designer is a great place to start.
What I offer:
• Exceptional skill set using Adobe Creative Cloud applications - particularly InDesign (primary program I use), Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat
• Hands on knowledge of visual design principles – composition and layout, photography, color, and typography
• Full attention to the small details, with total accountability for the quality and accuracy of projects
• Complete understanding of printing process and various workflows. I understand the differences from RGB (on-screen) decisions to CMYK (4-color ink) printing
• Established working relationships with copywriters, photographers, and commercial printers, all who could be vital to the overall end result
