Graphics
Creating graphics is the most enjoyable part of web design for me. I use
simple yet artful graphics, along with my strong sense of color, to create
visually pleasing themes that clearly reflect the organization's branding
and mission.
I am proficient in using Photoshop CS2/CS3 to enhance photos and create graphics for web sites, ad templates, and photo artwork. I also use Illustrator CS2/CS3 to create graphics and banners for web sites. View my Web Design Portfolio and Graphics Samples for examples of my Photoshop and Illustrator work.
I have also used Flash MX 2004 to create simple movies that contain motion and shape tweening, buttons and rollover effects, sound synching, timeline effects, behaviors, and basic action scripting. View my Flash samples.
