Welcome to Creative Essential, Design, Word and Image.Creative Essential is an online portfolio representative of my work as a graphic designer, photographer and journalist. Most of the design work you will see here is the result of free-lance commissions, but some pieces were generated through employment situations.
I use Adobe CS3 – Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, GoLive and Acrobat Professional. The paisleys at the top of this page for example, were built in Illustrator.
I couldn't possbily say which area of expression appeals to me more. They each have their beauty and their place in effective communications – they're just different mediums for the message – and the medium is the message.
Enjoy,

are separated
for most people,
gradually creates
an economy that is
often devoid of spirit,
one that frequently fills our pocketbooks
at the cost of emptying our souls."
