my skillset

My primary interest and skillset lies in print design, though I have been working on many more web design projects of late. As you will see in my work portfolio I have completed a wide variety of projects for many different types of client over the years. I also have a keen interest in photography and illustration, and was the in-house photographer for Xmi Design and for MSDS for my duration with both studios.

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.
