years of technical and fine art experience

skills
The ability to quickly translate your ideas into visually attractive printed materials. I meet directly with the client as well as handle all aspects of the design; from illustration, scans, image-editing to production friendly files, all under one roof. A strong background in TTB label requirements helps ensure that compliance issues are addressed before you submit.

education
Los Angeles Trade Technical College – Commercial Art program Santa Barbara City College, AA degree, fine art.
Tintype Tech, computer training in Adobe Illustrator, Quark Xpress, Photoshop, InDesign and Dreamweaver.

employment
18 years of hands-on experience at a major Central California-based printer. Job related tasks included digital prepress and design for wine labels and collateral materials associated with the wine industry. During my time with W/S I gained the real production knowledge that isn't common to many freelance designers in the market today. I also became very familiar with TTB compliance regulations governing label structure. Very handy skills when you are up against tight bottling deadlines.

Sole owner and creative force behind Jan Wolfinger Graphic Design, Inc. from 2004 to present.
