Jordan Stinson CV | Printable Version

What makes me unique for other applicates is that I am formally trained in the Visual Communication (Design) and Fine art. I started my education at the Visual Communication Program at the Alberta College of Art and Design. I completed 3 of a 4 year degree Program and decided to make a bold decision. I transferred to the Drawing Department in the Fine Art Program. I realized 4th year (VC) was nothing new just refinement of previously obtained skills. I also felt (VC) lack personal development in conceptual and intuitive expansion. Drawing offered this in a self directed set up. I made the transition with the intension of utilizing my new found strengths back into a design related career. I have graduated (07) with an B.F.A in Drawing with virtually a second degree in Visual Communication. I am now eager to bring together to two not so different worlds.

I work in a variety of mediums including Graphite, Ink, Watercolor, Gouache, Acrylic, Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign.

Personally, I am hard worker who is very easy to get along with. I have excellent communication skills. I verbalize my idea's clearly and listen attentfully with an open mind to other's idea's. I work well in a team environment, as a team player and also as a leader. I work very well independently as well.
