I have over 20 years experience in Graphic Design and Illustration. I am currently running my own freelance business providing graphic design services from conception through to finished artwork and print, illustration, CD/DVD production, translation and artworking into languages, promotional materials or exhibition graphics. As a separate part of the business, I also hand-paint murals for private homes, public service buildings such as hospitals, doctor's surgeries, dental practices and other companies such as restaurants etc.
About My skills:
I can use all the current design software, Adobe InDesign, PhotoShop, Illustrator, Acrobat (CS3). I can also use Excel PowerPoint and Word. I complete any computer generated design using a Wacom Graphic Tablet and pen, but also have the ability to generate hand-drawn/painted illustrations.
