Web and print: graphics, interface, design
Visual appeal builds effective communications
See my written communications portfolio
In a career filled with communications successes, much of the effectiveness came from developing and designing strong graphics and effective user interfaces. I tell people that it takes vision to be a strong writer.My business card says "Communications integration for busines growth," and lists—among other things—Web, print, publicity, brand development, presentations, training, documentation, trade shows, multimedia … Part of that vision is understanding where pictures, graphs, and design elements are needed. And where they are not.
As a writer, I learned long ago that just words are often not enough. It takes images to fully explain, to communicate the full story. On this page are some of my creative works.Some material has been edited to remove proprietary or identifying information as required by non-disclosure clauses. Click on each graphic below to see a larger version, some in JPEG and some in PDF.
As you review this portfolio, I ask that you keep in mind there are explanations behind each one. They were created to meet a need—and often, the story behind them is as interesting as the graphics themselves.
