Experience is probably the most valuable trait among creatives. Years of working in the trenches, testing ideas, failing, succeeding, winning and losing builds a foundation of practical design application. Carmon has done just that, working in agencies, production companies, several in-house design groups, owning her own business, and being a teacher. Her experience ranges from print and web design to video, film, and broadcast design. Experience does not stand alone however, you need the talent and problem-solving skills to back it up. Being 'taught' color, layout, printing process, and typography is, of course, what makes one a designer. However, it’s the gifted spark that is possessed by few people that separates her from the rest. The vast design tools available on the internet have made it easy for anyone to claim themselves as graphic designers. A non-artistic person can be taught about design and create a 'good' one, but it takes a truly imaginative talent to make something great.Specialties: Proven design abilities using Adobe’s Creative Suite, QuarkXPress, E-mail marketing, and Social Media.Fluent in both print and web-based applicationsComplete understanding of the four-color process and cost-effective printingPractical computer skills in system management on both Mac and PC platformsStrong background in video production
