About Me & My Services:

Hello! My name is Karen of Karenality Graphics.
I have been in the business of graphic arts and printing for over 20 years.

The trade and business that I am is an art skill inherited from both sides of my family.
My cousin is a typographer and graphic artist.
My grandparents owned A & E Printing Co. that was based out of North St. Louis County.

I achieved a Trades & Industrial Certificate and Completion Certificate from North County Technical Schol in 1984 in
Offset Lithography and Graphic Arts.

I graduated in 2005 with my Associates Degree in Web Design from ITT Technical School.

I have knowledge of color separations, logo design, tyhpography, print media and newspaper publications. I also
have website design and experience. I am fluent in Java, JavaScript, cgi/perl script languages, CSS, asp and
database development.

I can create custom graphics for print media or web use or BOTH! Anywhere from simple .gif animations to extensive
flash animations!

Contact me today for a custom quote! I'll be happy to discuss a package for you!

FORMATS: Usually when I create custom graphics and logos I use .jpg, .gif or .png format. (for transparent
background or simple animations). I try to refrain from .tiff and .bmp formats for reasons being the images don't
optimize well for use on the web.

SOFTWARE: The software I use at home on my own computer include JASC/Corel's Paint Shop Pro, Animation
Shop, Microsoft Word, Office/Publisher, Adobe Acrobat, Photoshop, Image Ready, Macromedia's Dreamweaver,
Flash, Arachnophilia.
The software I have extensive knowledge on include QuarkXPress, Adobe Illustrator, PageMaker, Multi-Ad Creator,
FrontPage and InDesign.

COMPUTERS: I have experience with most of these software programs on both Operating System platforms, Mac
and Windows and vice-versa. I am well adverse when it comes to computers and softwar programs and have
learned that they are all basically the same. I also have experience with RedHat Linux.
