……so, here we are. A little bit about me;<\/h4>\n

I studied a B.A. Hons in Graphic Design at Middlesex before transferring to Newcastle Poly in 1991 to finish my degree. On graduating I went straight into the industry and worked my way up at various advertising and marketing agencies in the North East from old school Artworker (the great days of\u00a0cow gum, scalpels & drawing boards) to Senior Designer. I’ve been self employed (trading as Squid Design) for most of the past fourteen years.<\/h4>\n

Initially trained to do everything in Quark, Freehand and Photoshop….and saving everything onto floppy disc (that’s how long I’ve been around the industry), like everybody else now I use Adobe Creative Suite…..so yes, I’m yet another InDesign convert. Still holding out on Illustrator though!<\/h4>\n

I’ve worked on everything from beer mats to brochures, egg boxes to exhibition stands, flyers to fashion houses. I hope this little online sample portfolio will give you an idea on the breadth of work I have done, and knowledge I have acquired over the years.<\/h4>\n

I’ve been trained by some of the smartest, have worked alongside a few of the greatest (you know who you are) and can banter with the best of them!<\/h4>\n
