JEAN DOWNS

GRAPHIC DESIGNER

I bring extensive experience working in a deadline driven, fast-paced team

environment coming up with creative solutions that best target the brand

while communicate the marketing and advertising message. From concept,

following it through production, to its effective conclusion is the kind of

challenge I enjoy. My goal is to get the job done to the highest standard.

I earned an associates degree in graphic design. With the wide-range of

successfully completed projects, I have expert knowledge needed for the

aspects in this position

and can work in the latest CS4 software. I have worked with Adobe CS3

programs, QuarkXPress, Acrobat Pro, Microsoft office programs and

Powerpoint on both Mac

and PC formats.

I look forward to the opportunity to interview for the Photo Producer 1

position at Charter. If needed, I will quickly forward work samples for you

to review.

Thank-you
