About me
I have been working as a self employed Artworker for a number of years and have worked on a variety of print based jobs. I have done packaging artwork on small/medium cardboard cartons and tin/bottle labels for a company who used to import The Blue Dragon brand of oriental foodstuffs, using EAN barcodes and producing clipping paths, retouching on the hi-res scans. Including "Bureau'd" Press Ready Artwork.
I also produced a few hundred basic 3D line drawings in Illustrator for a company who manufacture kitchen units and prepared artwork for their 260 page 2 colour Product catalogue.
I am actually still using CS4 as I haven't bothered to upgrade to CS5 yet, but I'm sure there will be no great difference between the two, I am familiar with QuarkXPress as well.
