Let me be clear, I have no formal education in graphic design. However, I have a good eye for geometric shapes and balance, and I am good at seeing what works.
During my many years as a web developer, I have often been caught up in tasks that require design skills, and I have worked a lot with layout of both printed and digital products. This has greatly increased my awareness of form and color, and it has given me solid knowledge of Adobe's software suite, especially InDesign, Acrobat, Photoshop, and Illustrator.
Below are some drafts and works from my portfolio. Hopefully, they show how I think, graphically. For me, it often comes down to exploiting the tension inherent in crookedness and in the interaction between symmetry and asymmetry, whether it is abstract shapes or recognizable motifs.
