..to my online profile and Portfolio of design work collected from over 10 years of design!
Hi, I'm Tony! I'm a graphic designer. Over the years I have learnt to use the major design packages: QuarkXpress, Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver.
Brief History
After finishing school, I worked full time for the UK's largest computer book distributor; Computer Bookshops. Progressing through the company to a marketing and customer service roll, I produced weekly publications and other promotional items. Working with the company marketing department, I developed my skills to a professional level. With their support and guidance, I built a small portfolio of work, which I used to enrolled on a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design at Matthew Boulton College in 1999.
Following my completion of a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design I continued on to a 3 year degree at the University of Wolverhampton to study for a BA(Hons) in Graphic Communication in 2001.
After finishing university in 2004, I have worked in two different stores for the UK's Leading franchise 'printing.com', helping to launch two new franchisee stores; Wolverhampton (2004) and the East Birmingham store (2005) as Senior Designer / Assistant Store Manager. In 2009 I moved to work within the marketing department of one of Europes largest pharmaceutical wholesaler, Phoenix Healthcare Distribution where I am currently working as a graphic / web designer producing monthly publications / price lists, leaflets, brochures along with designing and managing the external company website and intranet.
