George RutherfordFreelance 2D Illustrator / Graphic Designer
Jan. 1999 - Jun. 2004AS a freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator I used to manage all aspects of a job, starting with getting estimates for production of collateral material, building a communication plan for the client, developing concepts and creating pieces / actions for campaigns along with conceiving the imagery for the job and also taking care of producing the final pieces and delivering the work to the client. Although a very tough part of my professional life, I learned a lot about all the aspects of managing a communication / creative job. This prepared me for my future career steps as creative retouch / production manager at Seagulls Fly and then running my own shop again, but now with three partners.
