    Description: Hyundai Richmond - Full re-design and development of Motor Group website based on CMS including creation of template (PHP) with full CSS3 stylesheets, production of graphic elements, coding and implementation, development of menu modules, form modules, slideshow modules.

    Allied Irish Bank - Direct mail design production – Designing and layout of brochures, pamphlets and leaflets to promote the banks range of products whilst maintaining their corporate identity. Soft-ware: Photoshop, Freehand, Quark Xpress.

    BBC - Training in industry standard software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark etc), design principles and procedures.
    Cavendish Publishing - Magazine and book design and layout – Started by laying out their monthly publication, The Student Law Review, which included editing, layout, ad production and prepara-tion for output to very tight deadlines. When they launched their se-ries of student law books I was commissioned to work on cover de-sign and promotional material. Software: Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark.

    Citibank - Corporate report design production – Worked on their annual reports, which included the compilation of data, design for presentation of that data and final layout and artwork. Software: MS Excel, Illustrator, Quark

    Dixons Stores Group (Currys, Dixons) - POS (point of sale Mate-rial) and ticketing systems – Worked extensively on point of sale with chief designer both in-house and out over a period of two years was one of their main suppliers for POS artwork until they decided to take all production in-house. Work included creation of graphic elements, layout of all types of pos material. Working autonomously to style guidelines and short deadlines duties included preparing for output. Software: Photoshop, Freehand.
    Later I was commissioned to define their automated POS ticketing system, which would generate product description and pricing tick-ets for shelf items. This included defining the parameters for all possible variations of description and pricing so that they could be programmed into the generating software.

    Mcdonalds - Photo retouching - I was commissioned to create an image of the Chicago skyline at night – the skyscraper buildings would have their lights turned on to spell the word ‘LIVE’. Working from a daytime image I created a night scene, manipulating the re-lationships between the buildings to create the right effect whilst maintaining the impression of Chicago. The effects of the office lights were then created and the whole scene “reflected” into lake Michigan complete with ripples. Software: Photoshop.

    Nestle Rowntree - Training of entire Group Creative Division, York (30 staff including: designers, production artists and photogra-phers) in the use of industry standard software (Photoshop, Illustra-tor, Quark etc), design principles and procedures over a period of 2 years. In 1997 Nestle took their whole creative department over to Macs. Prior to that they had been using PCs. The move saved them several million pound per year because they were producing art-work on Corel Draw at the time and their repro house had to trans-late the files in order be able to accurately print them. They moved to Macs and Illustrator initially and my first task was to initiate all the production staff in this package. After that I was asked to carry out an assessment of all the creative and production staff and design an ongoing training programme. All staff were to be trained in the software relevant to their post and any new software that would en-hance their production with due regard to their current abilities and the production process. As well as training them to be proficient in the use of the software, I also instructed them on how to decide which program would be most suitable for a particular job, how to manage file size with regard to output and principles of work flow.
    Regular weekly workshops were also held.
    Later, in conjunction with Mac University I was involved in the de-velopment of software, called SkillBase, to be used to assess the real world ability of designers and production artists which was im-plemented at Nestle.
