Toronto
Star Newspaper (GTA Today)
- Production Lead:
Hired as Production Lead in May 2000. Responsible
for quality control of all finished pages with advertising and
editorial combined, for the GTA Today free newspaper
owned by Torstar Corp. Duties included monitoring 5 separate computers
each evening both PC and Macintosh, correcting any production
problems in the process.
Today utilized the QPS systems for linking editorial
content and advertising space. I separated each page into DCS
(4-colour) format, after proofing each page on our colour printers,
then transmitted to film RIPs in the Vaughan printing plant.
Other duties included colour correction of editorial photos and
helping build ads for the production team, when required.

The
American Journal of Ophthalmology,
Chicago, U.S.A.
- Singularly
produced the Journal for Corporate Communications Int.
from Toronto, utilizing QuarkXPress, Illustrator and Photoshop,
mostly.
We ran a parallel production of the traditional publication.
The Chicago office wanted to start producing all issues from
electronic files.
I received photos, illustrations and graphs to insert along
with relevant authors articles. We proved to AJO
that electronic production was more efficient than their present
method of production for the monthly magazine. Created Excel
sheets for workflow.

- This
was an ad for a trade magazine for the construction industry
in Canada.
Working with Cameron Douglas and Associates
I created all elements in QuarkXPress and Photoshop.

- This
is another annual report for the year of 1996.
Gaining a new client for myself and Cameron Douglas, this client
opted for the economical route. This was a three colour job
with four colour process on the cover (inside, front and back)
only. It turned into a fine looking annual report. Kingsway
returned to us the following year.

- Art
Director and purchasing agent for Dick & Labrie.
This was a one-man operation.
I hired type houses, film producers, photographers, model agencies
and print shops for all my projects. I took every job from my
colour renderings through each step, and sometimes even to delivery
at the clients' office.
- Wiltshire
was a major client and I produced many small ad campaigns with
traditional materials before the Personal Computer had
been brought into the advertising market.
|
|
 |
- Asked
by a client to produce a quick ad for a car show in 1989. A
quick marker rendering was the most effective media for his
requirements.
Today, my Mac and/or my Windows
computer is more efficient and accurate for fast, creative work.
