press-ready publications, rendering illustrations, creating freelance and exploring personal endeavors. Acquired recognition as "Artist of the year"

(2007 team award) as well as nominations for "Artist of the Year" and "Marketing Artist of The Year" for functional and creative adverts.

Experience

Developing professional experience in a quick working environment creating coupon ads for Clipper Magazine where I am gaining skills in

communication with clients, enriching my creative abilities and deepening my design wisdom. Playing essential roles in establishing the loyal

customer e-mail program through monthly e-mails.

I am developing many other skills and enriching my knowledge through other outlets as well. As I am working with American Musclecar, I am

able to mature my illustrator skills through commissioned fine art vector renderings of customer's classic muscle cars. I am being hand-selected

from groups to procreate specific projects such as difficult client's ads. By retouching vintage and current photos utilizing hand and digital

procedures, I am accomplishing a professional understanding of Photoshop and color. Gaining creative prowess through the publication of my

Christmas card in a competition among artists. My diversity is growing through created signage, presentations, and illustrations for various church

functions including plays, public car washes, and church programs. I am producing various projects including illustrations, brochures and logo

designs as well.

Skills

By using a plethora of hand and multimedia sources, I am strengthening my illustration and expanding my utilitarian illustration skill through

hand-renderings using tools such as a paint brush, airbrush, ink pen, pencil, pastels, scratchboard, ruling pen, rapidiographs, markers, and colored

pencils. I utilize gauche, watercolor and ink on mediums such as cold/hot-press illustration board, vellum and sketching paper.

I continually expose and implement my abilities in drawing digital creations via raster and vector sources. Using the bezier pen tool, blending tool,

brushes, filters and many other digital tools I make use of them in various methods and procedures to render digital art.

By procreating print products such as magazine covers, ad release, posters, logos, CD covers, corporate and identity campaigns, I am able to

expand and add to my understanding of gestalt principles, color theory and typography. I implement typography in illustrations, hand-renderings

and illustrative layouts, adjust my color theory through photo color correction, retouching and art renderings and add Gestalt principles in

illustrations, compositions and publications.

Working with developing prepress and camera-ready prints through hand-generate mechanicals with amberlith and acetate as well as creating die-

cuts. Develop prints using full color, black and white, and spot colors on many projects. I utilize electronic PDFs in many projects as a digital

output and color separation prepress method.

My copy writing experience allows me to develop professional editorials and creative copy for marketing clients. Utilizing communication to

relate with clients continually expands my ability to help on the technicalities of their request by formulating a common language. Executing

advertisement requests, I continually strengthen the understanding and effectiveness of marketing clients. I work on teams to furnish corporation’s

identity, produce ad slicks and process marketing ideas to implement my verbal and visual communicating ideas and proposals.

Gained personal hard-working experience in several jobs performed in duration of school and other responsibilities. Worked four years at a part-time job
