• More Stuff About Me

Capabilities Although my most recent permanent employment was working in the

charity sector in the main I have always worked for, or with, print and

design companies. As such I have a very good working knowledge of all

aspects of the printing trade. I have been using Apple Macs since 1990

and am very proficient in the use of QuarkXpress and Adobe CS ( In-design,

Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat). I also use Microsoft Office as well as

other programmes associated with the Mac. I am currently teaching myself

web design and development using CMS. I also undertake photographic

assignments, which includes post production and image manipulation.

I have a wide and varied knowledge of print and print related services. I

have worked on a variety of projects big and small for a variety of clients,

also big and small and am considered by many clients and colleagues as

creative and knowledgeable in my field. I consider myself to be a dilligent,

conscientious and hard worker. I am able to work well, either on my own

or as part of a team. I get on well with most people and am always willing

to listen to other peoples views and ideas. I am articulate, numerate and

possess a keen sense of humour and sharp wit.

I am currently looking for a position which will best utilise my skills and

talents as a graphic designer, photographer and people person.

• General health I generally keep in good health. I am a non-smoker, drink in moderation,

could lose a few pounds and exercise (not nearly often enough).

•

General interests My wife and I enjoy travelling. This allows to me to enjoy my passion -

photography. I also absolutely love all kinds of music (old and new, but

particularly bluegrass and country). To celebrate my 50th birthday we went

on a three week American “Road Trip” holiday, which started in New York

and finished in Nashville. It was an incredible journey, which allowed me to

indulge myself in all of these .

To see a selection of my photographs including our great American

adventure please visit my flickr site www.flickr.com/deebeeandswivel

I don’t read nearly enough, do a bit of DIY (badly), am good at watching the

footy, but not so good at playing golf and really enjoy a night at the movies

or the theatre. Just a pretty normal, average guy really.

“The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take,just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box.”
