Graphics Production Designer at Edgepark Medical Suplies
Cleveland/Akron, Ohio Area
• Worked on a newspaper and advertising production/design team for the last 4 years; now I'm stepping out into the freelance world
• Comfortable taking a publication from concept to press, including all advertising design, target marketing, page design and layout, and prepress work
• Comfortable designing web components to mirror the publication - also comfortable learning multiple CMS systems to work within an already existing web publishing schedule
• I'm better at the software manipulation end of things than the hardcore 'graphic artist' end, making me perfect for high level production; however, I've been around long enough to know visually what works and what doesn't
