About me
I am a highly experienced creative artworker with over 25 years industry experience. I have a straightforward approach to design, with
a creative flair and a good eye for layout, detail and typography. My thorough knowledge of the print process, enables me to take a job
from concept to completion with confidence.
I work closely with the creative team on concepts, developing these into a finished presentations, campaigns and strategies, ensuring the
integrity of original concept is maintained. Then, utilising the creative skills in retouching or redrawing diagrams, plans, logos etc. to finish
the job.
I am use to working with the clients to implement amendments, dealing with printers on production, checking proofs and ensuring the
job is delivered on budget and on time. Whether it's a business card or a corporate brochure, an advertising campaign or an exhibition stand
the process remains the same.
I have a good understanding of corporate brand guidelines, having helped create them, and the ability to follow them having worked
with large corporate clients such as BP plc, Centrica plc, and The Home Office.
I have a good knowledge of all major software applications - InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, QuarkXpress, and a basic knowledge of
Powerpoint, Word and Excel.
I have worked for many varied clients from large corporates through to small start ups, covering a multitude of disciplines as you will see
in the samples attached:
l Corporate and product brochures
l Report & Accounts
l Advertising campaigns
l Internal communications
l Branding and brand guidelines
l Logo/Identity creation
l Exhibitions and environments
l Point of sale (POS).
l Some packaging
Above all this I have a good work ethic and a 'Can do' approach and have been use to working to deadlines whether working in a team
or on my own. With this in mind I feel that I would be an asset to any creative team.
Finally, when all else fails I have an excellent sense of humour and will muck in.
