GRAPHICS & PRINT
Flyers, Banner Ads, Social media Ads, Red Herrings, Financial Reports, Email Templates, Direct Mail, Power Points\ Design … the list goes on and on. Below are a few examples of work I have done.
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, TopazAI, and even Figma are tools used. If there is a target destination of a graphic need, I can pretty much figure out what is needed.
I have created a few logos for companies as well. Most of my logos are font based creative (single or double colored) for the technical aspects of print & signage budgeting.
For more advanced logo needs, I typically tell people to try 99designs and start a contest… the results can vary and you slowly mold to your needs from the best designs you feel work. I’ve even used them personally!
I maintain the official MI-Wave print catalog, brochures, spec sheets, tradeshow graphics and all print media for them.
I transitioned it from an older black/white catalog to a full color layout.

I created a tri-fold brochure for the company to show bread products they offer.
I also shot pictures using a product lightbox of all the bread samples.

I have designed hundreds of real estate flyers for promo and direct mail needs.
I worked for agencies as a white label designer providing services fr real estate agents across the country.
From both designing the media to printing and direct mail on behalf of agencies and individual real estate agents themselves.
I have worked with a handful of companies providing tradeshow graphics and print needs.
Here are a few over the years that my work shown has come to life.
I helped an owner of a coupon magazine design EVERY single business ad. It was a high speed turnaround of graphic needs.
This magazine distributed in the Tampa bay region in the 2007-2011 time. Production run was over 140,000 sent to homes in targeted regions.
Web press printed and labeled for direct mail.

-Cups,

-the list goes on and on.
I was the contracted graphic designer for a company who was selling pizza box toppers.
Papa Johns, Hungry Howies and Marcos Pizza were clients.
This was high speed, not really creative work but you get the picture.
Photoshop & InDesign used.
For over 15 years, I have maintained my status as a “trade printer” and pay association fees to an association.
There I have built, met, and discussed printing as it’s designed to be exactly what the name implies… a trade printer among industry professionals to supply other trade printers with needs they may not have.
Vistaprint is an example of a 3rd party website that is a website that utilizes several vendors/trade printers to route orders to.
If you are really bored and have made it to this section… well, I have been around printers since childhood. Working in shops, plate making, operating one color and 4 color presses from junior high, through college.
From bindery to eventually making my way to pre-press and creating match prints for proofing, creating custom PMS colors (actually mixing powders) and seeing Adobe hit the scene in the early days.
I even saw the old school art of “stripping” in pre-press…but this industry was already being wiped out by a new technology…computers and graphic design programs.
The very first step is to get to know you, your business, what your needs are and how I can help.
