About me

Hi

My Name is Chris Kanssen, I am a Graphic Designer with over 20 years of experience, working on a range of items including... Corporate Identity, Printed literature, Brochure design, Advertising, HTML e-mail advertising, Packaging, Posters, Web Banners, Exhibition Stands, Web sites, CD Roms and DVD movies.

Proficient in Indesign, Quark Express, Photoshop, and Illustrator I can design and produce high quality print ready artwork with a good eye for detail, as well as produce database driven web sites using HTML, ColdFusion and php. I also have experience using Flash and Adobe After Effects.

Keen also on IT, I worked for the past 9 years in a London based design agency where I set up their computer network, web / mail servers and acted as on-going IT support as well as performing my normal tasks as designer / creative artworker.

I work well in a team, thrive under pressure, and can start straight away.

I am very interested in your position and look forward to hearing from you.

Many thanks, Chris Kanssen
