Design:

My design work is what I am happiest doing. I use a computer to do all of it. I often do it late at night when there are no ringing phones, couriers to schedule or dogs to be let in and out. What kind of design you ask?  Well everything that can be printed on paper, laminated, or put on a T-shirt, cap or mug. I also do photo editing. (Want to get rid of your "EX"  in those wedding pictures?)

 

Editorial:

My editorial work is for "The News",  a monthly newspaper serving four small towns, that I started last December. It is supported by the advertising of local businesses.  Most of the work is done in the first week and last week of the month. The first week I do all my phoning to line up articles and advertising. The last week I do all the rest. This consists of  some writing, scanning in articles, designing ads and of course, a little chop chop here and there, as all good editors are obliged to do. (Necessary or not, its obligatory.) Then l do the layout praying everything will fit with no left-over space.

 

Production:

I currently print small quantities (up to 500) of business cards, brochures flyers etc. in house. Larger and glossy paper orders I send to a service bureau that I deal with regularly, who  gives me quality work and a fast turnaround at wholesale prices. They also print the News.

Computers:

Although my background is computers, I got the shock of my life the first time I went to a company as a consultant to document their system and was introduced to a PC rather than a secretary. My salvation was a great technician who recognized my problem and took the time (his lunch hours) to teach me what to do with it. He was so enthusiastic and in love with these machines that I soon caught the bug too. That was an eight month contract and before the end of it I had bought my own PC. There has been no turning back since. I now do all of my own maintenance and upgrades on both my systems as well as those of my family and friends.
