Ian D.

I am an expert Newspaper Infographic designer with over 25 years experience at the highest level of the business. I have the ability to turn statistical components into visually appealing infographics, making dry information into something easy to understand and interesting to view, with complete accuracy. I highlight key points with the use of relevant graphical representations and use an intuitive layout to convey the factual information in a logical and exciting manner. Full Time Experience: The Daily Mail - 2002 to 2013 Senior Graphic Artist BusinessAm - 2000 to 2001 Senior Graphic Artist The Economist - 1997 to 2000 Senior Graphic Artist, Acting graphics editor Notable Freelance work/ clients: The Daily Mail - currently Microsoft The Scotsman newspaper 1997 The NewSientist WorldPay Texas Instruments Hallmark Cards Flora Margarine BAE Systems Symplr A little more about me: I have over 22 years experience, including 15 years working for national and international newspapers including 11 years as senior Infographic designer with The Daily Mail and three as senior Infographic designer with The Economist in London. I have completed many freelance jobs here on upWork successfully. I have also recently completed an infographic for BAE Systems and others, via international Communication firm Golin Harris, for Texas Instruments, WorldPay and Flora margarine. I am English so naturally I speak and write perfect English. I have an extensive knowledge of information graphics including charts, diagrams and maps. In my most recent job, before going freelance, as Senior Infographic Designer at The Daily Mail newspaper I worked closely with reporters developing infographics from editorial copy often using my own ideas, sometimes from ideas scrawled in biro on scraps of paper by the reporter. All finished work was expected to be of the highest quality. I am used to trying to second guess what is required in a graphic. I am used to working to very tight deadlines but also taking more time over a more involved job. The thing for which I am most proud during my time with The Daily Mail is evolving their City and Finance graphics from simple blue boxes into exciting yet clear infographics often capable of holding up a page. I am equipped with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop CC and MS Office. I would like very much to talk/message/email with you about any infographic project you would be interested in me undertaking for you. Kind regards Ian Dennis
