I've been working in Advertising Graphic Design for 15 years; 12 of which spent with Graham Advertising in Colorado Springs. I'm primarily a print designer with some web/animation design experience.
- Automotive clients I have worked with over the years include the Phil Long Family of Dealerships (one of the premier dealerships throughout Colorado), Hyundai of El Paso, Freeway Hyundai, Don Chalmer's Ford, Bison Ford, Coliseum Lexus, Walker's Renton Mazda & Subaru, the Northwest Toyota Dealers Association, Carolina Honda Dealers Association, Front Range Honda Dealers, and more.
- I've designed advertising for Ford, Mitsubishi, Toyota, Honda, Saturn, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, Suzuki, Acura, BMW, Infiniti, Jeep, Mazda and Mitsubishi.
- My work has appeared throughout Colorado, Montana, the Carolinas, New Mexico, Texas, Hawaii, Washington, and Canada.
- I have extensive production experience due in part to the time I spent working for the Colorado Springs newspaper, The Gazette, and also due to the large number of out-of-house print projects that I've created while I've been with Graham Advertising. I've worked everywhere from paste-up to being behind the camera when making plates for the press, to being responsible for designing the finished projects. This understanding of all the back-end mechanics of design allows me to be a very proficient and organized front-end designer, and I'm able to create efficient and stable files for my clients to hand to their printers with every confidence that it will print correctly.
Projects I have worked on include:
- Newspaper ads : All sizes, colors and spec requirements.
- Posters : All kinds from framed and mounted to simply laminated, and for many different purposes.
- Mailers : Single sided, double sided, full and spot color, folds and flat.
