For several years, I was an associate editor of the print publication, "American Currents." And for three full issues, one of which is shown here, I was the Senior Editor. Duties included everything from making copy, to layout, to content review, to illustration, and any and all other duties related to bringing the publication to print. I really enjoyed this project! graphicdesigner illustrator designer editor senioreditor

I created this series of technical illustrations for the purpose of helping the Shipwreck Education and Preservation Alliance (SEAPA) obtain grant money for their proposed project. Several softwares were used in the creation of the graphics, and the graphics are scale-accurate in nature.

I created this graphical depiction of a proposed fish reef in Lake Michigan for the Shipwreck Education and Preservation Alliance (SEAPA). The document is a to-scale depiction, not just an artist's rendering. The final image prints out flawlessly at 50 inches wide (over 12,000 pixels). The customer was absolutely thrilled and proudly displayed the final printed graphic at a scuba dive shop in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA. photo graphicdesigner illustrator designer
