I'm an illustrator, designer, and art director with over sixteen years of experience in the creative industry. I've art directed photoshoots, created magazines from scratch, climbed on chairs to get the perfect digital photography shot, hand-crafted typography for clients, made award-winning logos, won ADDYs, guided print jobs from conception to design to pre-production and assembly, and had my illustrations published nationally through Gawker Media, on Southern Prohibition Brewing beer cans, and hung outside of Birmingham theaters year-round. I work hard and have an upbeat, positive attitude which helps me foster positive relationships with my collaborators. I'm not currently looking for a full-time position but I am available for freelance work. Please contact me at blayne.leigh.ward@gmail.com to discuss. When I'm not working, I'm a film history buff who loves to travel, make elaborate Mardi Gras costumes, and say hello to dogs I see on the street. They're good dogs.
