Matt Sinopoli’s Summary

I currently work as a desktop artist for Valassis Communications making everything from small to extensive changes to pre-existing and client supplied ads. I also do a lot of work designing and creating new ads, menus and other direct mail pieces for customers. In addition to these duties, I am also in charge of maintaining and organizing training materials on our company-wide intranet site.

I have worked on several freelance projects over the years. Some of these projects include developing an identity and promotional materials for Pittsburgh Youth Leadership and creating logos, buttons and other web graphics for cinemablend.com and it's sister sites. I have also worked creating a logo for the Three Rivers Wine Fest and developing magazine layouts for Kid Sports magazine.
