John Bowling
Web portfolio : */
John Bowling is a highly experienced, adaptable and superbly creative senior designer with expertise in both the offline and online sectors. This is supported by assured project and studio management capabilities, excellent communication and conceptual skills, flair, commercial vision and a ready sense of humour.
After studying Industrial Design at the Central School of Art John specialised in technical illustration, initially working on controlled circulation magazines in the electronics/computer sector. With this experience under his belt, and a strong desire to expand his remit, he became involved in broader design issues: page layout, front cover photography, print production and the day-to-day management of a design studio.
During the years that followed, working with leading publishers, such as The Financial Times Group and Scutari Projects, (the publishing arm of The Royal College of Nursing), John gained extensive experience in magazine design, production and management and continued to develop his expertise in a number of design packages. With Scutari in particular, John headed up their design unit and was responsible for their complete range of publications
including the launch of their flagship publication Nursing Standard.
In addition to working from a conceptual point of view John is equally at ease with a hands on approach working with the main publishing and Internet applications.
John has benefited by working on a freelance basis with a wide client base, designing for both print and the Internet. As a result John is accustomed to working to tight deadlines and to delivering the highest quality work under pressure.
Currently John is employed at Redactive Media as Design Editor on the weekly Public Finance magazine whilst working on other titles including People Management magazine and their associated digital presence.
