Re: Introduce yourself

Re: Introduce yourself

Hi all, I'm a print and internet graphic and web designer, been in one facet or another of this world since finishing Cal Poly SLO in GrC. That was 1977. Since then did a lot of publications and prepress work, Up on .pdf's, Adobe gamut, Quark, MS Office and the rest of the usual suspects, mostly on a Mac.

Not much integrated workflow experience, but I've worked with imposition programs, preflighting procedures, automatic publication generation via Quark plugins, but nothing really grand.

Been freelancing since my job as Production Manager of our little regional weekly dried up and "consolidated" into something unlovely, but spent 9 years at a regional daily with 80,000 circulation in a number of jobs from Staff Artist to Commerical Print Specialist.

Always looking to keep up as best I can, hence my membership here.
