About me

Highly experienced art director with more than 20 years' experience in pre-press, design, layout and graphic illustration for mainstream consumer magazine titles, national newspapers and web sites.

High degree of expertise in Adobe Creative Suite applications - especially InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop - including digital retouching techniques, colour correction and image manipulation.

Accustomed to working in a high-pressure environment with very tight deadlines.

Fastidious attention to detail.

Self motivated and work equally well as part of a team or as group leader.

As well as being able to delegate, I am comfortable being part of a team and always follow briefs to the letter. As well as the obvious design packages - I excel at InDesign and Photoshop - I have a good working knowledge of the Woodwing Content Management System, Adobe Premier, FotoStation and Content Station.
