My finished art and production skills are extremely strong as you will also see throughout my work. I took the majority of projects shown here from sketchpad to press on my own. I am very comfortable within Adobe’s Creative Design Suite (to CS5) and would consider myself to have an expert working knowledge of each component (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Acrobat Pro). I am also very comfortable working with Microsoft applications as required.
I have extensive printing experience and am confident in delivering a piece exactly as expected every time, ensuring that each part of a project, from artwork setup through colour builds and paper stocks will be both correct and will work correctly with each other. I always conduct press-checks on larger (and many smaller) projects to ensure color fidelity.
When working on webdesign projects I am comfortable with working in tandem with the developers to ensure that the site will behave as expected. I have a good understanding of html and CSS and know what can and cannot be achieved, as well as understanding the unique challenges and possibilities with working for web.
