My seasoned experience covers a wide variety of work and almost every aspect of publications design. Throughout my career, I was fortunate to have excellent on-the-job mentors who taught me everything there is to know about producing books as works of art within time and budget constraints. From choosing the correct typefaces for a spec design/working out the most appropriate layout (often taking into account over extent manuscripts)/quality control/etc. I've typeset many books and other print material. I've also been expected over the years to design marketing material for various printed/digital collateral. I also enjoy doing photography (especially nature photography). I know my way around photoshop and have recently successfully completed a big photo research project for the South African National Biodiversity Institute. I'm looking forward to make your acquaintance and to be of service.
