Hey guys (guys is not gender specific),
My name is Robb Thurmond. I graduated from a technical college about 5 years ago with a BA in Digital Layout and Design (its a degree in production). My first job in the industry was with ePingo.com, and I've been here 3 years now. We are a really small .com startup that focuses on large format printing. By really small, I mean 3 employees. We all get to do a little of everything, so I have gotten a lot of experience and worked with nearly every aspect (finishing, retouching, design, product creation, printer and system maintenance, printing, RIPing ect.) of our little niche in the print world. One thing I have been focusing on at work is color management, and it's probably one of the reasons I am loosing all of my hair : ) I am completely self taught in this area so please be kind if I ask some fairly simple questions.
As far as personal interests go, I am rather diverse. I love typography and calligraphy and work as a freelance designer on the side. I also am an avid climber, river guide, and trail runner. I volunteer with a national group that takes inner city kids in to the outdoors and gives them experiences they might not otherwise have.
I love print, (and no, I don't think it will EVER die) and hope I can contribute a little to the community!
Thanks!
