My name is Jason Chimo, in college I studied Graphic / Web Design. I graduated with my BS degree at the top of my class near the end of 2003. I started learning Adobe Photoshop when it was version 5.5 and ended up teaching classes in version 7.0. Since then I have kept up with the software as it releases so I can utilize the new tools and functions. I am currently working in version CS4 and very soon CS5. I have been designing print media in the job field since 2003, and I am continually upgrading my web design skills.
I am proficient in the following applications on Macintosh and Windows platforms:
Adobe Photoshop • Adobe Illustrator • Adobe Dreamweaver • Adobe In-Design • Adobe Image Ready • Microsoft Word • Microsoft Excel • Microsoft Powerpoint • CSS coding • HTML, XHTML coding
I am very skilled in design layout and techniques including scanning images, photo correction/manipulation, creating images for print media or web based applications with understanding and implementing dpi requirements and file optimization.
I am experienced in design for print publications such as magazines, ads, brochures, posters, postcards, business cards, die cuts, stationaries, promotional products, banners, signs, shirts, vehicle graphics, vinyl and much more. I am also experienced in web environments such as FTP, Wordpress, W3C standards, SEO, server side applications, IIS, SQL management and much more.
I pride myself on handling multiple projects at the same time and prioritizing certain projects in order to meet deadlines and customer needs. Past experience has molded excellent customer service skills including translating clients' ideas into visually appealing designs targeted to reaching the correct audiences. I am proficient in managing problems as they arise to find resolutions to keep the client satisfied and coming back for repeat business.
I always establish trusting relationships with clients to give them a personal feel within the company. I am a quick learner with great attention to detail, and I am a team player with excellent social skills. I am a hard worker that goes above and beyond in order to meet deadlines and customer needs.
