Randall H. | Paladin Chicago Candidate
Graphic Design/Art Direction Professional with Corporate, Not-for-Profit and Agency Experience
Available For:
All types of positions.
Ideal Position:
Involvement with strategic planning/brainstorming of marketing concepts in the role of lead designer or art direction. I enjoy being hands-on with actual execution/production of design for print and web. Whether in an agency or corporate environment, what I find most important is a relaxed, informal atmosphere. I feel the creative process is best expressed when those involved are not hindered with undue process and regulation. Professionalism will ultimately produce quality work in a cooperative and thus efficient workplace.
Past Experience:
As a freelancer and member of a corporate marketing communications team, I've been responsible for the development of concepts pertaining to branding, direct marketing, user interface and other materials. High use of DTP with other graphic/image editing software.
Currently:
I am currently involved with a logo suite development project for a not-for-profit through a volunteer organization. This has entailed meeting with the project team, the volunteers and the client to define scope and goals of the project. I have presented concepts and ultimately the final designs. I continue to read up on new technologies, as well as continue to improve upon current skills with the learning of new skills.
