About me

After several years using Photoshop as the main programme for my work I am now learning through the Home Learning College all about Web design using Dreamweaver and Flash. When I pass I will be Adobe Certified which I hope shows that I am determined to continue to improve my skills and therefore my job prospects for the future.I have worked for The Sunday Times and The Times newspapers and their magazine departments using photoshop to retouch and Indesign to create layouts as required by the Editorial departments.I am somebody who is adaptable to change. Throughout my career with News International I have had to change and improve my skills as new technology has come online.I like to think that I am a team player and will fit in with anyone around me .I am patient and listen to people and have good telephone and face to face skills.I certainly am loyal and reliable. Since 2001 I have had no time off from work and despite what ever transport or weather problems there may be I always make it in to do my job.Yours Sincerely,Paul Stubbington
