Roger Jinks

Graphic Designer

Santa Monica, CA, USA
I’m very particular about the use of color & typography to communicate information. For several years, I’ve been working with a variety of graphics software & have mastered the Adobe CS including After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign & Photoshop, FreeHand, PowerPoint, Keynote, & QuarkXpress with experience using both the Mac & Windows OS. The computer has become another paint brush in my toolbox.
