About me
I am a graphic designer and art director with over 20 years of experience of design, illustration, proof-reading and design management using traditional and digital media.
Where many designers follow trends and fashions my Fine Art degree gives me a strong advantage in being able to conceive truly original and creative solutions which are unique. My design process has an artistic flair most designers lack; much more multi-layered semiotic content.
My degree taught me both traditional media and also computer aided imagery. As an artist and designer I have built on my skills using both methods to create images appropriate to the project. I have 20 years expertise in the Adobe software suite [Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and Acrobat] as well as other graphics programs [Xpress, Fontographer, Painter, Bryce, Poser and the Microsoft Office Suite].
