My Background
When it comes to graphic design, I'm mostly self-taught. I have attended in-person and virtual classes to grow my knowledge over the years. I started with graphic design back in 2002 when I worked for the Journal Broadcast Group in Tucson, AZ. I was the promotions guy for their four radio stations and worked hand-in-hand with the sales team designing sales flyers and then I started to design billboards. I'll never forget driving down Tanque Verde Road and seeing a billboard for an upcoming Matchbox Twenty concert that I had designed. I was hooked.
I am advanced with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and pretty much every other software they offer on their creative cloud. I have been using Adobe software since 2004. One year ago I found out about Canva - which blew my mind - and I have found it to be a great platform for social media banners, posts, and simple design needs.
This is just a sampling below of some designs - and remember - many of these were what the customers wanted. I rarely have a final say in the creative design. Some love my ideas and feedback, while others want to take the lead themselves.

Trifold Brochures
Trifold brochures look a bit wack-a-doo when presented this way, which is how it is sent to the printer (minus the cut lines, etc.). This is when you get to use that amazing imagination of yours.
