My name is Bob Ward and I am a print production artist with many years in the business of getting things printed— from
conception to delivery.
My experience in fast-paced, deadline driven environments enables me to be better suited for high volume studios. I have worked for publishers, printers and most recently advertising agencies. My last place of employment was Hill Holliday—where I was hired to work initially as a dedicated Mac Artist on the John Hancock retail account but later moved into the "studio" preparing print files for Hill Holliday's client base.

Embracing the latest prepress technology, I am proficient in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and use Acrobat, MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint routinely. Being skilled as a mock-up artist, I have experience creating professional high-quality renditions and prototypes. In a days workload, I am able to rebuild files, resize ads to publication specifications and produce layout solutions from an art director's concepts or designs.

My print vendors are:
48Hour Print
VistaPrint
Uprinting
Signs On The Cheap
Park Press
