I’m Linda McGuire, and I’m a graphics geek with an affinity for colorful illustration (both hand-done and digital), complex publications, reimaginings of reality in Photoshop, and showing where things are going on with map graphics. I’ve worked in advertising, printing, publishing and communications for tourism, real estate, fine arts, entertainment, events and professional training promotions (that’s a partial list; the full list would go on for a while). My primary expertise is in print production; I also do website editing and image prep. I’m training in GIS cartography and motion graphics.
