Designs & Photography by David Klotz
I have a Bachelors degree in Visual Arts / Graphic Design from the University of St. Francis. My education was comprehensive and aesthetic through a variety of traditional and contemporary media. I was taught by practicing artists and designers with local, national, and international professional experience. With this education as my backbone, my career has gone from Freelance Designer, Apprentice Designer, Marketing Assistant Manager, to Senior Designer in the time of 9 years.

What does Vector Art mean?
Vector art is ideal for printing, screen printing, laser engraving etc... Since the art is made from a series of mathematical curves it will print very crisply even when resized. For instance, one can print a vector logo on a small sheet of copy paper, and then enlarge the same vector logo to billboard size and keep the same crisp quality. Vector graphics is the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, curves, and shapes or polygon(s), which are all based on mathematical expressions, to represent images in computer graphics. "Vector", in this context, implies more than a straight line.

Laser, Silk Screen Press & Vinyl Cutter / My Tools!
The Best part about being a Graphic Designer is seeing your work completed. The advantage of being hands on with my projects provides a complete understanding of all the aspects involved in the design process from start to finish. And also you get to see first hand how a design may look completed and come to find out it may need a few more tweaks, before lets say doing 300 hundred shirts or decals. Because every Graphic Designer knows what appears on screen may not come out the same way finished, such as blues looking purple if your not entering correct Pantones and wrongfully deciding to wing it.
CorelDRAW X5 Effects
Using the Contour and Envelope Effects in CorelDRAW X5 can make your designs a lot easier and beneficial to work with. The Contour Effect is similar to adding a stroke, but simplifies your desired look. Since you now have 2 layers you can add stroke to the both of them to add more color, efects etc... The Envelope Effect makes applying text to follow along shapes very simple. Using these effects together will make for easier changes and tweaking. Click on the image to enlarge. www.davidgklotz.com
