I am a creative writer/graphic designer/ photographer, working and experimenting in each of these creative fields. I have seven years of freelance experience with my own graphic design company, providing all aspects of printed and digital media for individuals and companies. I am currently working toward a creative writing degree and have been published in two anthologies. My photography is my own creative expression. I've taken pictures since owning my first Kodak camera at the age of eight. Spending many hours in the dark room and finding a love for black and white photographs I continued to learn and grow as the photography field changed to digital.

Hired by KFUPM as Illustrator on Oct. 7, 1987 for their English Books Projects under the STUDENTS AFFAIRS DIVISION. As an illustrator, I was responsible for the illustrations of 10 volumes of English Textsbooks with the corresponding posters which is currently in use in the entire Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the Intermediate & Secondary School level respectively. While on this projects my tasks is not only limited to illustrations — my American Editor realized that I have to be a computer literate so he exposed me to Mac computer and Windows with the Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator on it. Within three years the project is done so the university administrations reassigned me to the University Printing Press thus exposing me to a more profitable experienced. Moving to the KFUPM Press means more jobs exposing to different phases of assignments and softwares. Designing more Posters, Books Covers and Texts, Flyers (three fold, four fold, etc), Phamplets, Calling Cards, Invitation Cards, etc. were my daily routine, aside from preparing montage, editing typsetted materials, color separations, (4 color, 3 color, 2 color and single color) before feeding it to tthe Image Setter for the final run. My forte which is figure Drawing combined with my knowledge of computer were proven to be extremely effective for the various job requests of the KFUPM University. Reason for leaving, resigned

For the past twelve years digital imaging has comprised the majority of my work, although I have extensive experience using traditional cameras of all sizes, from 35mm to 8x10. For the past 15 years I have worked both independently and with designers, and for more than ten years of that time I have been releasing entire catalogs in digital form of both studio and on-site work. I have extensive experience using Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, QuarkXPress, Dreamweaver Freeway Pro, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Despite the advent of digital technology, the photographer's most fundamental and critical tool remains the same: light. I know how to use it. I see it, I feel it, I play with it, I can control it. Please call me at 801-694-4489. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jay Borowczyk
