About Me:I operate Penguin Graphic Design out of Victoria, BC. I am dedicated to providing my clients with exceptional results, and I work hard to ensure satisfaction. I value every client I have, and tailor my design to suit your needs. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from The University of Victoria, and I am a self-taught graphic designer and photographer who has been operating for over four years. I like to stay up-to-date with current design trends and techniques for my own pleasure as well as for my work. I use Industry Standard Adobe software. Ever since I was a kid I've had an interest in art. I've always enjoyed painting, drawing, and sculpting and often use inspiration and knowledge from these areas in my design. I also enjoy wood working, and I play a few musical instruments. Why did I choose the penguin for my logo? Penguins are known for their perseverance, resilience and team approach. But most importantly, I liked their colour scheme. Check out Services to see what my general rates are, and a few other details. How did I get to be a graphic designer?Good question! I've always had a natural knack for art. As a kid I'd be content painting for hours on end, and I went through more of those little watercolour pallets than you can imagine. When I got into school, art was my favourite subject, and not surprisingly math my least favourite. Graduating from high school I was off to University where I began to study English and History. But I found this boring and skipped most of my first-year classes to spend time at my old high school designing and painting sets for a theatre production. The marks I received in classes I was neglecting proved my lack of interest, so I switched programs and went into theatre design at UVic. The computers in our lab at school had state-of-the-art Macs, that I soon fell in love with. I also discovered Photoshop on one of these computers, and was facinated by it. Suddenly I knew what it was I wanted to do! I began to design flyers and posters for our school productions, and by the time I graduated I had taught myself how to be a graphic designer. With my sound knowledge and background in theatre design and art, my natural knack for composition, and the self-taught lessons in Adobe software I started up Penguin Graphic Design.
