Hello, I'm David O'Connell, and I've been in the communication arts industry for over 20 years. Starting as a multimedia designer, back when there was only long-form HTML, InDesign was Aldus PageMaker, Photoshop just added layers and type rasterized as soon as it was placed. If you wanted movement, it meant an animated Gif or ShockWave File (swf) that you created in Macromedia Director. Film was still a thing in photography and we used film and magnetic tape, assembled artboards with scotch tape, edited audio & video off-line and on-line with big manual buttons. We used 3.5" disks and a 100mb Zip drive was more than enough space. I built brands with my bare hands for small and medium businesses to fortune 500 internationals. Forging the design and strategy across a plethora of mediums, print, on-line, in-hand, and broadcast. It was in that fire where I honed my craft, emerging as an international award-winning creative director.Specialties: creative direction, brand development, art direction, producer, director, strategic marketing and advertising, traditional and digital mediums.
