I have a degree in Fine Arts from the oldest pontifical university in Asia. I majored in Advertising Arts and have been involved in numerous related projects for years. I was so to speak, old-schooled. I had to learn the rigorous intricacies of design the hard way. I.e., I had to learn the basics manually and had to keep abreast with technology individually. This, I think is my edge from the other freelancers, because I can work without the aid of a techie software. Give me a pen and paper and I can deliver.<br><br>I am comfortable with using Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Pagemaker and Adobe Imageread y. I am proficient in any Windows Applications, especially Office and I have basic HTML knowledge. I know, I still have a lot to learn but that is what I love, learning new things.<br><br>On the services I can offer, basically Advertising needs, posters, brochures, business cards, leaflets, newsletter, invitations and the works. I used to own a computer shop that was pretty much involved in these types of work.<br><br>I have substantial exprerience in designing corporate identities involved in varied lines of businesses, from car wash to an environment advocacy group. Which is another plus because I get to meet a lot of varied people. <br><br>I am a shutterbug. Had I been given better choices, I would be around the world taking pictures and come home to a photo studio of my own. I also like to edit my pictures using Photoshop but most of the time, I like them just the way I took them. And when I do edit, I pay a great deal of attention to details because I know, being a practicing visual artist, that a misplaced dot can ruin a good picture.<br><br>I am adept at copywriting, owing to the writer's blood that runs in my family. My grammar is excellent, English is in fact, my second language. <br><br>Lastly, though not the least, I paint. The old fashioned way, with a real brush and a real white canvas with real colored pigments.<br><br>I am very sensitive about what my clients want and regardless of what I think, the client always gets the last say. <br><br>I believe that each client, regardless how much his project is worth, deserves the same quality work like everybody else.<br><br>Enough said, I am very much looking forward to growing professionally with people who also wills me to grow with them professionally. <br><br>
