Graphic Designer Needed

geryon — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 12:59:46 -0800

I need a new look for my theater directing portfolio. I could use some help in figuring out how to lay out the pictures, how to display them, maybe create some of kind of "brand identity" (ugh). I've got some big meetings in the next couple of months and I want to be able to clearly display my work in print and online, and I could really use someone to take a look at my work and critique it/help me design a better look for it. Email me for more details. I'd be great if you had a portfolio for me to look at first, but if you're young and looking for a portfolio builder, than this job could be right up your alley. Please also include a quote/hourly rate, etc.
