I am a freelance graphic designer and have been self-employed since the start of 2003, following years of full time employment in various companies.
I began my career working in print and most of my work still comes to life on the printing press. I design a lot of corporate marketing material and also enjoying creating magazine layouts and book covers.
More recently I have designed for the web, both creating the design and constructing whole working sites. I create W3C standards-compliant sites using a combination of CSS and HTML.
I sometimes use my own photographs in my designs and draw illustrations as well.
I use Adobe's Creative Suite software (Photoshop and Illustrator for creating images and graphics, InDesign for page layout, Flash and Dreamweaver for web design) on Apple Mac computers. However, nothing beats pencil, paper and imagination for realising ideas.
