Definition of Multi-Media Illustrator

As a Multi-Media Illustrator I am responsible for daily communication with customers and other designers, as well as outside graphics contractors. I fill out and accept incoming work orders and see that they are completed either by myself or by equally qualified personnel. I perform routine maintenance on the systems at my disposal, and coordinate the use of outside contractors when needed. Or…..

I animate the thoughts and ideas of others into my interpretations and orchestrate the presentation of Multi-Media materials to a wide audience. I communicate messages through illustrative images in several mediums to convey a common idea to the masses. I bring life to thoughts and action to ideas. I am a pawn to the world around me, but greatly influence the thoughts of everyone that can see, hear, and think. I am a Multi-Media Creationist.
