My Mac career started way back in 1989 using an Apple Macintosh IIFX.
I am 37 year of age and live in Clacton, Essex with my wife and three
children. I've always worked in London but I am now seeking employment
with less commuting, as I was working away from home all week and only
coming home at weekends.
I was employed until recently by MST Communications, producing a wide range of graphics material ranging from slides to full-colour printed brochures and graphics for displays and exhibition stands. These would involve banners, posters, signs, etc. I was employed by this company for thirteen years, only having to leave on medical grounds.
Below is a list of just some of the applications I've used over the years:-
Adobe Illustrator 9.0
Adobe Photoshop 6.0
Macromedia Freehand 6.0
Macromedia Dreamweaver 3.0 (PC)
Macromedia Fireworks 4.0
Quark Express 3.3
Adobe Acrobat 4.0
Flash 4.0
Microsoft Powerpoint
Microsoft Word
While I was employed at MST I worked on many prestigious accounts including Corus (British Steel), BT Global Challenge, BAA, Nestle, Orange, Eagle Star, CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and Southern Electricity to name but a few. I was also involved in assisting the Studio Manager on a day-to-day basis in ordering stock and outside contractors, such as printers, photocopy houses, etc.
Before working for MST I had my own company producing artwork and graphic design, which is what I studied for in college. During this time I learn't how to deal with clients and the importance of jobs being done on time and to the clients satisfaction.
