Hello My name is Rick Rowland and I am Graphic Designer working for the Rapid City Journal in Rapid City, South Dakota. I have been a Graphic Designer for over 5 years and here is a sampling of my work. Work shown here was done primarily in Photoshop and Illustrator. I am also skilled in working with Flash and pagination software such as InDesign and QuarkXPress. Thanks for stopping by!
The 4th of July is a make or break time for a business that sells fireworks. Dakota Fireworks wanted to run a 2 sided insert and I was the lucky enough to be chosen to design it. I wanted it to be loud, just like all good fireworks are. I also had to create some order within the busy design and I believe I succeeded. The client was very happy and the ad went off with a bang! I used Adobe Illustrator CS4 on both sides.
