Good afternoon-
I am excited to learn about your project on elance.com. To tell you a little about myself, I have a strong background in newspaper ad design, having spend 3 years working in graphic design for Scripps Howard, one of the nation's largest franchise owners. Additionally, I currently work on a contract basis with two different employment publications across the country. I fully understand what it takes to develop an attractive and responsive recruitment advertisment.
I feel that my rate is pretty competitive but i would be open to discuss that I more fully understand the project requirements. I can assure you that I can get the project done and on time every week.
How I work: I actually work in an agency type setting with another full time designer in house. We work off and on with 2 other freelance designers on an as needed basis to accomodate larger work loads. This is to say that we are going to be able to get your project done on time, the first time every week. We have the abillity to turn around ads very quickly.
Currently most of the machines here are running illustator CS as per your requirement. We are very easy to reach, both by phone , email, or fax. We could set up a local number for you in your area code as well if needed.
I would be happy to work up an example or two if you like. Again, I am willing to negotiate on terms and price if that need be the case. Get in touch and lets discuss your project further.
We look forward to working with you.
