graphic design
I've worked on a number of different types of design projects ranging from print advertisements, logos and business cards to large documents such as manuals, annual reports and books which my area of expertise. Graphic design projects covered all details from concept to completion, including dealing with printers and the delivery of your completed printed project. All projects are design ready for print or online use.

The Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual was a complex, technical design project completed in collaboration with members of the Canadian Geotechnical Society team. Their team provided all content ie: text, technical drawings, tables, engineering formulas, an index and images, some of which I rebuilt into vector format. Final files were provided to their specialty printer of choice for book publishing.
