James R. Sutton

As a Graphic Designer, I have expanded my use and knowledge in design concepts and program expertise to create visually compelling and highly effective print and multimedia materials for regional telecommunications publications throughout the United States. I have been responsible for prioritizing my workload to ensure all publication materials, such as directory covers, ads, and marketing materials, are designed and processed in a matter that allows them to meet their corresponding production deadlines. Over the years I have been entrusted with additional responsibilities and more overall design decisions that have resulted in exceeding client expectations and overall satisfaction.

As an Aero Info Specialist, my skills and experience in visual software and keen eye for detail were utilized in the conversion of U.S. Airspace Sectional and Terminal Area Charts to digital files for print. I was responsible for the initial digital conversion as well as the bi-annual update of thirty-seven aeronautical charts. Working in a team environment with other cartographers, designers, and upper management, I used my organizational skills to coordinate project time schedules in order to meet production and printing deadlines.

As the Lead Graphic Designer, my creative thinking, unique eye for composition, and experience working in design programs were utilized to successfully accomplish the goals of completing graphic artwork for clients. I collaborated with both clients and vendors on behalf of the firm in order to create eye catching printed as well as web and multimedia designed material that best represented the client's company message and identity. Balancing crucial aspects such as creative design, client desires, time management, and budgets within specific projects was a valuable attribute gained from my experience in this position.
