Patrick Havens’s Summary

I've been doing web design in HTML, CSS, Javascript since 1994, and since then I've added flash, PHP, Shell Scripts, Perl, dhtml and some ajax to my bag of tricks. Tired of web design in the mid 90's I transfered my knowledge to print and am well versed in the Adobe Suite (Pagemaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat) as well as familiarity in Adobe Designer, Bartender, Corel Draw, Freehand, Quark, 3DS Max, Terregan, World Creator, Stone Designs Create, Microsoft Publisher, Scribus, Inkscape and of course pleb programs like Word, Excel, OpenOffice, and other such programs.

I've done everything from full package design, logo design, to item recreation. Working many sides in the printing industry, both production, pre-press and design, I know what is both affordably possible, and what costs would be involved in creating a product. I tend to use that knowledge to keep jobs within budget, and show how a job can really look good, on a budget.
