Abdul Majeed Solomon

I am based in Cape Town, South Africa. Currently a Studio Manager for 6 years. I have about 20 years experience in DTP/Artworking. We role out artwork as point of sale, packaging and digitally for our clients – BAT (British American Tobacco), Cadbury, MundiPharma and Coca Cola. I would love for an opportunity within Singapore for between 2 to 5 years, maybe I could consider relocating at a future date and bring my family along. My main strengths are ensuring artwork gets printed 100% correct before I have sent it to the printer. This will include adaptation for multiple markets with various languages, and that will mean having a high level of attention to detail. I also have a flair for adhoc design work. I love trouble-shooting. I am adaptable, dependable and I have the determination to get every job done correctly by my varied work experience within advertising.
