Perry Taylor’s Summary
Twenty five years in the advertising and graphic design business in the pan-European and international arenas. Experienced in automotive, spirits, entertainment, travel and FMCG advertising and communication. Now freelance, teleworking from SW France, via agencies and directly for clients in the UK, Holland and France.
Now doing more graphic design, illustration and website design. I have joined forces with two superb programming teams, in Holland and the UK, to create CMS database-driven sites. I design, they build and host.
I'm looking for small to medium companies who want experienced, no-nonsense, professional creativity and marketing, without ad agency price tags.
