ABOUT ME

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my resume.

Today's economy forces careful use of resources, including recruitment of employees who will "do it all": Perform multiple tasks, perform them excellently, and be completely reliable. That's where I come in.

During the last ten years I have worked in fast-paced marketing/advertising environments where I have obtained the practical experience and tools to help clients meet their needs. I have put this website together to tell you about my education and experience and to provide work samples.

I possess a wide range of knowledge and experience in design, the printing process, websites, photography, scanning, color correction, pre-press, film imaging, calibration, client management and more. I have strong abilities in Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, Imageready, After Effects and Quark. Daily duties also guide me to use InDesign, Acrobat, various Web Browsers and Utilites as well as communicate with Internet Service Providers and Hosting companies.

I graduated from college with a degree in Art, and adapted from fine arts to computer arts, particularly Photoshop, with a passion. In a short time, I was known as "the Photoshop guy" at Dark Horse Comics, and over the next seven years I spent most of my time working at a high level in Photoshop doing color correction and photo manipulation for a variety of clients.

If you need to contact former employers, please feel free to do so. Of course, Meier and Frank has closed its doors, but feel free to contact
Jack Strobel of City Digital (314-645-9999) as he was responsible for many of the work procedures and much of the equipment that Meier and Frank purchased. At Dark Horse, Cary Grazzini (503-652-8815) would be your person and at Microcomp, please contact Darren Syder or Tami Cooper
(503-641-8581). Please refrain from contacting my current employer until we are further along in the interview process.

Thank you again for reading through my resume. I urge you to browse through my website gallery. I hope to hear from you soon

Sincerely,

James Johns
