Nancy Creighton’s Summary
While my heart, and my training, is that of an artist, some people forget that about me. They think of me as a writer or an editor; or they think of me as a manager putting together projects (a producer, in other words); or they think of me as a computer techie they can turn to when problems come up-- and they are right. I'm all of that, and more.
My strength is putting together books and magazines because the work involved uses the full range of my skills-- editing and writing; layout and typography; photo manipulation and graphic design.
My other love is doing short term graphic design projects, things like cover designs, designs that go on products such as t-shirts and mugs, brochures and business cards. I relish that because it forces me to stretch and keep coming up with new ideas, and I enjoy being an "idea person."
I'm also deaf, my first language is English and my second, learned in my mid-20s, is American Sign Language, ASL. I've worked in, and lived in, both the hearing and the deaf communities.
I'm a generalist, not a specialist, and according to an article in WIRED magazine (Feb., 2005; 70) us right-brain people are making a comeback in the world.
