This list is pared down from something that was reading like a catalog of all the user software published since 1982, to something I hope is relevant. However, if there are titles missing for which you require experience, ask. Chances are, I've used it.

Further, while I have always used whatever clients provided, when I have worked as a consultant I have preferred shareware or the lightest-weight software that will do the job. Although I have created or edited many graphics, I have never found it necessary to acquire many of Adobe's products, though I respect the company greatly. For vector graphics, I've had Micrografx Designer, and CorelDraw, and Visio, so never needed Illustrator. For bitmaps, I've had PaintShopPro, PicturePublisher and others, so never acquired PhotoShop. I have Flash, but have managed the few automations I needed perfectly well in Fireworks.

Our principals are seasoned veterans of cyberspace and of the communication arts. Scary, but -- together, they've chalked up half a century of computing experience.

Chuck's a coder who's got an eagle-eye for misplaced spaces and extra dots; Marilyn comes from classical book-making and cares a lot about how the pieces fit together. Together, they're a perfect team.
