About me
-
Gary Sutherland/Orwell Design – (Freelance graphic designer).
I’ve never really written about myself in this fashion before, but what with the “Social Web” et al, here goes…
Most importantly (as far as you’ll probably be concerned), I have been working within the graphic design industry in a variety of roles since graduating way back in 1995.
After graduating from Colchester with a BA in graphic design, I initially started work at a local printing firm after which I moved on to working…
- within a photographic studio,
- at a monthly book review magazine publisher,
- at children’s publishers and development consultancy,
- as a studio manager for an import/export company
- and then as a freelance designer through Aquent
During my time working through Aquent I was lucky enough to work all over London at all manner of creative, marketing and advertising agencies until I was offered a short term contract at John Brown Citrus Publishing (now known as John Brown Media) where I carried out work on a number of children’s magazine titles including well know characters like, Shrek, Pirates of the Caribbean, Dora the Explorer, Felicity Wishes and even Sponge Bob Squarepants!
Eventually, having spent a large chunk of my life on trains commuting all over London, our splendid son Aaron arrived on the scene which very soon prompted me into going full-time freelance so I could at least get to see him grow up during his “early years”.
Well, he is nearly eight now and here I am, back in the Colchester area and still freelancing!
So, if you run a business or organisation that could use the assistance of an experienced, reliable and generally pretty easy going freelance graphic designer, then please do give me a call or drop me a line. Over they years I’ve worked on a wide range of projects both large and small (for both print and the web) and am always interested in hearing of more.
That’s it for now, so thank you for taking the time to read my minor ramblings and hopefully you’ll contact me soon and we can carry out some beautiful design work together!
I use FreshBooks for all of my time tracking and invoicing
