Daniel Thorogood

Freelance Creative Artworker
About

Specialities: Prepress Artworker, Large Format Printing, Retoucher, Creative Artworker (Able to work remotely as I have the Adobe Creative Suite and high speed broadband) Having worked as an Artworker in the Digital Print and Design Industry for many years I have built a wealth of knowledge and experience using different programs and techniques. I have worked on a vast array of campaigns and projects bringing to life high quality work where precision is key for client satisfaction. I am fluent in Adobe Creative Suite integrating artworks through different programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign. I have a trained eye for detail, colour precision and resolution as quality control was a key aspect of my role as Digital Manager. As a retoucher I have worked on a comprehensive amount of imagery for multiple content whether that require a great deal of retouching or colour adjustment to produce high end work at a large or small scale, thus making the understanding of imagery resolution crucial. I pride myself on my ability to listen, communicate effectively and relate to others on both a professional and personal level whilst working under pressure. Effective communication is critical to success particularly in a fast pace work environment. I have over the years worked with a wide range of materials and printers to produce beautiful pieces of work and brought to life some amazing brands. I have a front to back understanding of the production process having spent a number of years testing materials and machinery to achieve great and unique effects driven by the needs of the client. I have been pro-active over the years in identifying bottlenecks and driving process improvements leading to overall improved efficiency for the wider taskforce.
