This is all about visual communications. Getting your message
to look good and get your point across. Laying out your magazine.
Create a brochure. Design a Logo. Build a Media kit. Letterheads,
business cards, presentations. You name it, will pour 20 years
of accumulated visual design skills at it.
Before
desktop publishing, the Graphic Designer was a separate discipline
from Art Director, Graphic Artist. Layout artist,, mechanical
artist (if you remember what that is, you're my age or
older), typographer, separator, and production artist. Now they
are pretty much one guy with a computer! Times change.

Graphic Design's big brother. Putting all the pieces together.
Combines the disciplines of Graphic Design, Illustration, Photography,
Typography and prepress to move your project from cocktail napkin
squiggle to printed piece, presentation or Web presence. Arranging
and facilitating production and printing. Press checks and preflighting
and all the opaque technical stuff that you may have no idea
about, but trust me, you are glad someone is doing.
Working
with clients, managers, editors, making sure that everything
that needs to happen, does. I also hire and/or supervise the
work of Designers, Illustrators, Photographers and writers.
Whatever it takes to get the job done.

The bastard child of Design and computer programming. I'm glad
I cross train. Web pages most certainly need the hands
and minds of professional designers involved. In the current
visually
saturated market, HTML alone is not a compelling web experience.
Leave programming tasks to the wireheads, but to make your site
communicate, hire a Designer. I just so happen to know some one...
Web site Design, Web Graphics, Banner Ads. For instance, I designed
and built THIS site.

People have looked down on Illustration as mere "Commercial
Art". Be that as it may, sometimes the job calls for a
picture. And Illustration is absolutely Fine Art as far as
I'm
concerned. Only difference is that the art has a definite purpose.
To communicate a message. Whether it is a cartoon or photo-realistic
rendering, pencil, marker, paint or digital. Creating images
that didn't exist before.
I've
made pictures my entire career, for books, magazine covers,
cartoons, using both traditional and digital media. Solo commissioned
work or illustrations for my own projects.
