MY WORLD

Hi. I'm Craig Grant, and I'm an art director/graphic designer. But you could call me a creative director, copywriter, production guy, or even prime minister. Heck, I might as well be King of my castle. As you may have fathomed, I don't really care about titles, or what it says on my business card. In other words, I want to do good work that works good (with apologies to Mrs. Harkin, my favorite English teacher).

By the way- whoever/wherever you are - I'll work my butt and my brain off for you.

MY THINKING

Great creative should look good, taste and smell good, and feel good. Kind of like the perfect pizza. It should leave your senses wanting more. More of whatever that "thing" is, be it a product, service, mystery widget, or the next "Pet Rock".

I do this by producing my own work, from concept through final files. And I manage and oversee all my outside vendors (photographers, illustrators, printers, etc.) too, which means things get done quicker, and less expensively. Usually a good thing, I think.

MY SKILLS

Yes, I actually went to art school and received a BFA. We used things like rulers and X-Acto knives, sweat and blood, turpentine, spray mount and other toxic chemicals. Thank G*d for computers. Recently, I received a certificate in web design, where no blood was shed but a lot of hard-coded tears fell while learning CSS3, HTML5, some Javascript and JQuery though those last two are a bit of a blur. I'm also up-to-date on the latest versions of Adobe CC, Microsoft Office, Keynote and more.

Some of the industries I've worked in include, but of course are not limited to: Education, Financial, Healthcare/Pharma, Hospitality,
Non-Profit, Retail, and Transportation.
