3. I used to work in printing once for Staples and I was taught how to communicate printing information accurately and have a high percent of success with sending the document(s) to be printed properly the first time. This was also part of my education from Mckenzie College (2001) Experience with Print Industry • This leads to long-term savings on not having to get REPRINTS done.

Digital animation skills

I can match up audio clips with video to make music video for example. • I would be fully capable of taking raw audio footage from a personal concert and looping it into one consecutive album or edit it into single audio tracks. Audeoediting skills • I would also be capable of creating a similar audio logo such as the THX logo you may be familiar with when you’ve ever rented a DVD with your family.

9. Having read several books dealing in the history, the essence and the special information demographics provides us in the advertising business… • I have amassed useful insight into giving a client what they want before they even realize they want it. My ability to predict a client’s needs when designing an ad is most efficient as Carolyne may have already observed in action. Special insight into Demographics • After having read a sci-fi book on predicting the future through • demographics lead me to believe in this major important force guiding not only our consumption of products, but our very lives. Thus a specialty in demographics makes an ad designer a very valuable addition to your team.

10. I have had the uncanny privilege to work around millionaires and sell alcohol to them. I have asked them a lot of questions about owning and running a business. Having done this frequently over the years and learned how they got past their failures. I got some very frank and honest answers to my questions because I was in the position of their bartender at the time. Bartenders and priests are basically the same job sometimes. ;) Networking/business knowledge • I now have a built-in instinct to network and build other business-related relationships with vendors or those we conduct business with.

11. I have studied for one year at Mckenzie College of Digital Media Design and learned marketing concepts as part of the curriculum. My knowledge into marketing/Advertising • I have researched the Advertising Industry somewhat from many different angles and have even ingested some books on psychology as it applies to marketing. This is why I can usually create something very close to what someone says they want because of knowing something as simple as the psychology of colour can affect a purchase of a consumer. These are my skills. Use them wisely.

12. A complete list of computer equipment/software required fulfill my tasks as your ad designer A fully funcional rate card for the sales team A fully functional media kit to accompany the rate card. So in conclusion… If you choose to continue with my services from this point forward we will have to finish my research I have started on the materials we will need to get started and develop a contractual agreement to proceed with immediately designing 3 things:

13. If you are serious about starting up this business, if you so desire, you can hire me to start right away with immediately doing the research and producing a list with prices, estimates and the like. As soon as the equipment list is approved I can get to work on the rate card and media kit. Then we get to work on making a name for ourselves!
