Client Testimonials“Brad,We wanted to thank you on the work done on Project Star II. The client, who heads a group with activities also in architecture and design has often looked at the templates / covers / dividers you have prepared with interest and curiosity. Last night, he also said he preferred your design compared to the one that his team had prepared. It’s always good to know that you are onboard when we need some creativity. Thanks for your commitment.”
“Best DTP job I have seen here at the firm so far!! Thanks“
“Not sure who I have to tell this, but Brad did a great job!!! We are meeting with the prime minister and this is definitely going to be well received, thank you.”
“Brad, Just wanted to let you know that the work you did for me on Saturday was perfect and the client was very happy, thank you very much for your help again.”
“Hi Brad, Could you please create for me a couple of Company templates? I do not have particular urgency around this but I would like the request to be done by you as we have worked quite often together in the past and you know exactly what I like. Thx a lot”
“A big thank you for all the efforts put into the site plans and maps in our very long presentation. The meeting took place this morning and the client really appreciated the great quality of the presentationThanks again”

• Produce screenshows with customised animation and slide transitions
“Hi,Thanks again for all the work done on this presentation, the client was very impressed by quality of materials.Thank you”
“I would like to compliment Brad Warren on the excellence of his work, IT’S FLAWLESS. Every job I get back from DTP there is always something incorrect, no spell checks etc. I would like to know if everyone is supposed to be trained up to his standard. Together we worked on a fairly complex and indeed large job that, prior to Brad’s work, was only a skeleton. Not a single mistake was made, and the graphs looked splendid. This has enabled me to take off on the weekend trip that I intended to leave for within the hour. Had the document been in a bad state, my director would most certainly have asked me to make corrections to this prior to Sunday and ruined my weekend. I am hence very appreciative of Brad’s effort in terms of detail and concern for the job. Please pass on my thanks to him.”
“Brad - I love your work!Thanks”
“Hi Brad,Thought I’d better put it in writing, after reviewing the ‘Graphics Bible’ you produced, it’s more than I could have asked for! Well done, it’s a fantastic piece of work which I’m sure will not only benefit the GFX Ops, but also be an excellent training resource for anyone wishing to develop their GFX skills.”
“Hi Brad,These look fantastic – thank you so much, they are exactly what I was looking for! Thanks very much”

• Both Best Practice and Branding Champion for the department, making sure that all branded material is up to date with the latest corporate style
• Provide expert support to the Audio Visual department with on-screen presentations in both the main auditoriums while presentations are being given to external clients
After my promotion to a Senior Operator in September 2001, I was requested by the client to work in a satellite position for a period of 24 months, which meant working outside of the main department located within a specific division of the bank giving the client my undivided attention.I took a secondment during this period and worked in the Creative Services department as the sole graphics operator. This DTP department worked more closely with the client, sitting alongside them on the trading floor.
