Justin Barron
Birmingham, AL, USAMy heart is in multi-page design. InDesign is my home. I love working with images and typography to create a truly beautiful and informative piece. I’m into the feel of nice paper—have tons of paper samples. My designs are clean and organized, but I enjoy a little quirky flare. I’m loving branding more and more—it’s all encompassing. I understand how working with a company to build a brand creates more than little pieces, but the whole picture of who that company is and what they do. I’m interested in all types of design and arts. When ever possible, I like incorporating my own photography in my work.

AlphaGraphics
Design Specialist
I was the only designer at AlphaGraphics. I worked on a wide variety of projects with a fast turn-around time. I updated a lot of existing artwork, as well as created my own fresh designs. A large portion of the job was handling and fixing customer supplied files. While at AlphaGraphics I created logos, ads, flyers, banners, brochures, booklets, business cards and other print pieces.
