tony who?

Tony Buford-Graphic Design and Art DirectionTrained and experienced in graphic design, ad design, virtually all types of printing, web content management, typography, copy writing and color, I'm just a guy who knows how to produce projects for small businesses and individuals looking to make a splash in their markets.

TRAINING, SCHOOLS AND TOOLS
Naval Aviators WingsBefore anything else, I spent some valuable time in our U.S. Navy.  As part of Naval Avation, I worked with and supervised teams, worked with Navy SAR (Search and Rescue) helicopters, and helped to start a school training plane captains and rescue crewmen. Re-wrote the manuals used to train pilots and crewman. Worked and lived in San Diego CA, Memphis TN, Jacksonville FLA, Lakehurst NJ, Norfolk VA, Naples, Athens, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the US Virgin Islands, and more.

I got design degrees from 2 great colleges in New Jersey, interned and then got hired at my original design mentor's studio in Princeton, worked briefly in Manhattan, got trained in design and production for the Internet, and worked as a graphic designer, production designer and art director at ad agencies, corporations, printers and small businesses in and around Philadelphia. And taught graphic design, digital illustration and Adobe Creative Suite programs at a couple of small colleges in New Jersey at night.

THE LAST YEAR OR SO
A year ago December, my work was published in the American Graphic Design Awards. I was also honored to be invited to judge two national advertising competitions for NARM, the year before. I handle design, web and marketing for the all-volunteer Trenton Musicians Foundation, and, of course, I invented Mime Rap, 100% music-free music.

THAT's it
That's me. This is what I do. Have a look at my new 10-page portfolio of samples, (PDF, 3.4 MB) and see if you don't agree that my approach to visual design can benefit your project. Need to know more? Download my resume, right here. (PDF, 135k)
