S. H. | Paladin Chicago Candidate
Graphic Designer/Illustrator
Available For:
Direct Hire.
Ideal Position:
My ideal opportunity or position is a role that would allow me to utilize all of my graphic talents and skills over a wide variety of diverse projects. This role would also include interaction with other creatives for support and inspiration, as well as hands-on help with the skills I've learned over the years.
Ideal Environment:
Being in a creative environment, surrounded by peers and beginners alike, has always been inspiring and influential to me. Being able to see creativity evolve and be a part of the process to develop an outstanding final product, from concept to completion, has always kept my own creative juices flowing.
Past Experience:
Past positions have ranged from photo scanner and color corrector to graphic design for print and multi-media with projects involving illustration, animation, trade show graphics, and electronic pre-press for added diversity and dimension to my experience.
Currently:
My most recent project was to design a custom brochure for a museum. A piece unique to the client, as it didn't follow the usual strict guidelines of their marketing collateral. I was responsible for layout and design of a four color, multi-panel flyer. It was very inspiring to hear "We did that in-house?" as a common exclamation.
Additional:
It seems like I'm always seeing the world in terms of design, color, shape and substance, and how something can be – or has been, used to showcase its artistic value. From something as simple as a pair of eyeglasses, to the complexity of high-rise architecture, my perspective is always from the eye of an artist.
