About me

As you will see from my CV, I am currently working as a self employed. Presently I am responsible for managing all the day to day running, producing creatives, arranging photoshoots and negotiating the print buying. I have worked closely with all Production Departments and have been able to identify problems before they affected production deadlines.

Over the last 6 years I have been managing the design studio in a pressure environment for a European Computer manufacturing company, controlling the production and co-ordination of print for collateral, advertising and internal creative design requirements. I am at home taking briefs, producing roughs and creatives and controlling the processes up to final print ready artwork, negotiating the best print prices and checking the final print on press.

I have excellent advertising knowledge, I am an experienced designer/artworker with excellent knowledge of Apple Mac and key software applications. I am used to setting and managing schedules for advertising.

With my proven ability to manage and maintain the highest standards whilst also minimising costs, I feel that I would be able to make a significant contribution to your company's management team.

I would be grateful if you would contact me if you have any vacancies in your company, or keep my information on file in case of future openings. I would welcome hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,

Ian Black.
