Hello all, i am an Honors graduate from the Art Institute of NYC with an Associates Degree in Graphic Design, an relocating to Florida on May 17th, 2009. This is my graphic site if you wanna check it out http://www.ironspider.ca/ My goal is to pursue a career in Graphic Design, with an emphasis on flyers, logos, signs, website graphics, promotional products and/or marketing materials. I am familiar with QuarkXPress, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and also Corel Draw. I have worked with newspaper ad circulars, magazine ads, billboards, posters, newsletters, stationary design, screen printing, and embroidery. I work on either a Mac or PC platform computer, whichever it is used by your Art Department. Since graduation, I have done some freelance work for Primedia - a Devon based magazine agency specializing in hand crafted jewelry, Sbars Inc. - a Moorestown based arts and crafts business specializing in wholesale and distribution of the crafts, worked full-time for National Color Graphics - a Erial based printing company specializing in printing news letters, business cards, and business forms for outside print companies as well as other businesses, and finally Premiums & Specialties - a Swedesboro based self-promotional company specializing in screen printing, embroidery, etching, engraving, as well as all sorts of promotional items. My experiences so far have focused on setting up photo shoots, photo cropping, touch-ups and placement, creating icons, working on cover and poster designs, creating weekly ads for home and in store use, typesetting, proofreading, creating metal plates to be put on the press floor so they can then be processed, creating, recreating, and separating artwork accurately so that it can then be either printed, screen printed, or embroidered. Prior to my out of school experiences with Primedia, National Color Graphics, Sbar's Inc., and Premiums & Specialties, I worked primarily in sales to maintain good customer service and increase company profits. I feel that my professional experience and educational background could contribute to your expansion and growth by completing jobs effectively, designing anything from a logo to an annual report, developing all work from concept through execution, reaching and going beyond all expectations, being self motivated, working independently, thriving on meeting deadlines, and being detail oriented. I am looking forward to and would welcome the opportunity to meet with you and discuss the position available.
