GRAPHIC
DESIGNER: I create custom
designs for individual Harley-Davidson dealerships based on
either the theme of the dealership or the area it is located
in. These dealers are located around the world and a lot of
research is done to get a feel of what people in that location
will connect with. I create three concepts for each job, after
I get a concept approved (by the in-house art directors or
the dealers themselves) I create the design using Photoshop,
Illustrator and line art I draw by hand. Creating art for
screen printing is different from other types of printing,
we print six to eight colors for most jobs and all jobs must
be able to print on any colored shirt without changing out
screens.
SOFTWARE USED:
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator |

like logos, store signs, ads, and packaging. After that I
was moved into the Retail Tab department, doing page layouts
for the bi-monthly mailing ads. After a few months I was promoted

each major sale and event held in the fifty two store locations
across the US and Canada.

with the sales team I created products and screen printed
designs for several major companies and our own brand of Breast
Cancer Awareness items "Pink Stuff". When a salesperson
