About me

Hi,

Have been in the print since the age of 17 and on Apple Macs since they first arrived.

I do have lots of experience, all the usual packages, varied retouching skills.

Ive worked on lots of magazine titles in my time eventually working on lots of front covers,

working on the Look magazine cover for two years every week and the pages themselves,

other magazines include Marie Claire, Cosmopolitan, GQ, Tatler.

In 2011 was working on NEXT DIRECTORY, Colour Correction and retouching.

In 2012 mainly working on Phone Shop Graphics for Tescos, Icelands.

Ive found over the years the best way to sharpen an image is a High Pass in Photoshop,

instead of the usual Unsharp Mask and Sharpen Filters.
