Hello,
I have an Associates Degree and 30+ years experience in the Graphic Production industry, having worked for newspapers and printshops. Laying out page designs such as you describe has been a large part of my job thru the years. Many of those years have included using Quark, although most of my work today is using InDesign. I have Quark 6.1 available, if that level is high enough for you.
I have extensive practical use of Photoshop and Illustrator to back up the page layout work and my expertise lies in creating print-ready prepress files in the correct color-space for the chosen output.
I am fast and I am born and raised on the west coast of the USA, so my english skills are good. I am a good proof reader, and can help edit copy if needed.
I am new to on-line freelancing, so my portfolio is not quite ready. If you like my bid, please request black plus one color or full color pdf of prior projects is you'd like to see my work.
Thank you for your consideration,
Daria Lacy
