Jonathan Gibson’s Summary
O b j e c t i v e
ART DIRECTOR - Graphic Professional 2D+3D - User Interface Designer...
I seek leadership roles in visual software & development particularly the intersection of animation, 3D & iTV gamespace video. I've played producer, creative director, production manager and line artist able to wrangle diverse team members towards completion as well as unifying diverse elements in a composition. I sling bitmaps as easily as an airbrush and have created winning visual designs from tiny animated icons to building-sized world-class murals.
I bring 20+ years experience in all aspects of visual and user graphic design and am familiar with modern software development processes and rich media production. I have developed to market numerous consumer and professional product interfaces and overseen development of international broadband interactive television systems and content. I have deep knowledge of industry production tools and significant ability to transform wide-ranging elements into a tightly and elegantly designed user experience. I've prototyped system level UI advances for Apple as well as applications for professionals and consumer multimedia solutions - primarily with Director and Flash. I can manage small to medium sized groups of talented temperamental people with diverse skills and work habits to accomplish difficult productions on time and budget.
I'm as comfortable polishing pixels as shiny corporate pitches.
