Twenty + years of graphics design experience
Illustration examples and a few words about the Sebastopol, Ca. artist, Steve Greek.
As a commercial artist, I provide businesses with marketing imagery and web support. This would include signage and promotional banners for booths at technical shows, newspaper ads, and explanatory diagrams for brochures. I also have experience designing billboards.
I have taken this particular talent to the desktop when designing icons and presentation functionality. I also have a complete grasp of computer hardware and understand the right tools for the right job. (Mac-OSX and PC/Windows using Flash) I've been involved in many research and development projects and provided start-up support to obtain venture capital funding. I have customer support experience and will always clarify client issues, listen to concerns and will become an integral support member of your business team.

Icon graphics and buttons for applications
Product icons need to generate a feel and look of quality. It's a statement about your company to offer customers a better solution to their requirements when quality graphics are part of the presentation. The graphics above are just a few examples of my work developing icons for the web & large vehicle wraps.

More than just a thousand words...
When you need an icon or graphic that says it all, you've got to design clean illustrations that mean something to the viewer. The left column line-up above is a few of the application graphics used at the personal news network. (pnn.com - before facebook)

Above are just a few examples of my commercial work
I strive on presenting simple, straight forward designs for business and flexibility in design techniques. If you would like to view a new project I just started look at Western Style Catering which is still in the works and the catering trucks display all the same graphics!

Photoshop & Adobe CS3 tools
Designing with photoshop & its layers with the vector lines of illustrator gives me a new flexible leash on creativity. The 'Stories Project' was going on a road trip, before getting funding the new transportation unit needed a face. With a little CS5 magic... it got done.

3D Studio Max and animated Flash objects
Making 3D digital images is an awesome solution to presenting creative ideas. And Flash provides the Internet with a way to enhance plain structures with creative moving layers.

Technical Illustrations & Publications
As a Senior Technical Illustrator, in the 80's I created technical illustrations for maintenance manuals and graphic presentations for companies like Boeing, IBM, NASA, Rockwell and Ford. Also, doing detailed technical renderings for inventors and professors writing educational brochures or marketing their new inventions.
What am I doing now?
CCCSAA.org has requested a new web site and I just finished it with flash, Javascripts and a WordPress page. Check out the new work!
For the last 5 years I have focused on developing application graphics and cascading style sheet (CSS) templates for social networking sites and involved in creating multimedia presentations to acquire venture capital funding. A new project on the scope is now live - Saving All Glass and its sister site, Coastal Glass Restoration. Venture on over and take a look, the glass restoration service offered is absolutely incredible and designed for mobile displays!
