Travis Hoffman’s Summary
I have seen alot in a very short amount of time in my career. I started as an entry level graphic artist doing busy work at best. I moved into the realm of the production artist and gained a thorough understanding of how to streamline a design so that it would print appropriately, serving as a bridge between original concept and eventual outcome. Along the way I picked up a good understanding of Web Design. I have also spent time in the Newspaper Advertising world, one I am no fan of, as well as working as a Graphic Artist in a Screen Printing Company. I have been of opposite ends of the design spectrum including designing for a heavily testosterone driven Martial Arts Supply company, so a faith based Ministry with more of a modern softer trendy feel. My career experience had enabled me with a vast toolkit in many aspects of print/web design. I continue to have a thirst for knowledge in Design, and never want to grow stagnate in my abilities.
