About me

Initially trained as a compositor, I have been working in the
publishing and commercial printing sector using both Apple Mac and PCs.
I have been a director of my own business handling work as a bureau for
the print trade and also can, and have worked from home on my own
system. I design and create display advertisements for magazines and
other publications. I have experience of commercial pre-press and of
publishing duties and the creation of press-ready pdfs for submission
to printing companies. I have had four cd artwork designs published
recently and continue to develop these skills at home. I am available
to work immediately, preferring to work within a reasonable distance of
my home. Most recently employed as a Production Controller for an
educational magazine and book publisher, responsible for the creation
of display ads (some online), checking of magazine and book titles and
preparation of press-ready pdfs. Use of 'Delano' and 'InSite' and
familiar with ftp file transmission. Also the same for in-house
catalogues and marketing materials. I am happy working on my own or as
part of a team, and of communicating between designers, marketing and
editorial staff and directors. Experience in problem solving and
co-ordinating with external suppliers.
