I create print-ready artwork/PDF files with advanced InDesign or Quark skills, using faultless templates,
master pages, style shortcuts and find/replace text formatting. I possess strong pre-press and
retouching skills.
I produce a tidy layout, efficiently with a positive ‘can do’ attitude. I have experience of a busy agency
environment, artworking press advertisements and direct mail, adhering to stylesetter guidelines,
following briefs and scamps, adding creative flair if required.
