Adobe Illustrator
8 yrs
5.0
2009
I have used Illustrator for over 8 years, for designing vector images for use with logos, print design and signage design and creation. I have strong technical skills, enabling me to create the designs I imagine in a digital format. I have designed flyers, brochures, logos, signs, window vinyl, CD covers and much more using this program. Even now after 8 years I am constantly learning with each project and version of the software so I can work quicker and more efficiently.
Adobe InDesign
5 yrs
4.0
2009
Adobe inDesign was the software of choice for us to learn layout design at college and university, as using it with photoshop and illustrator was seamless. I have used inDesign since, to create all layout work for many brochures, flyers and other print materials, all having gone to press and been printed professionally to a very high standard.
Adobe Photoshop
8 yrs
5.0
2009
I have made it a mission to know Photoshop well enough to create artwork since I started college and since have kept up to date with all versions. I am constantly improving and if I have an idea, I will figure out a way to create it using photoshop. I have used this program in my photography projects mostly, and have created artwork for a few world renowned bands in this software.
