About Garland Jones Bennett

An art director must appreciate the written content as much as visual, taking on the role of a storyteller.\"-George Felton \"Supremely Superb Graphics for Supremely smaller prices.\"- Celestial Graphics tag-line.\"Designs that only elevate to greatness.\"- Celestial Graphics 2nd tag-line.\"An Art Director be a mediator between writers and designers, understanding both disciplines and working closely with each.\"-George FeltonAt the heart of me, I am an experienced,seasoned Web Graphic Designer, Artist, & Novelist, that my main mission is to add variety to any project & make it excellent quality to solve a problem. Most of my Graphic Design experience comes from media production company named \"Celestial Graphics\". I\'ve gone through the challenges of having to learn & be proficient in figure drawing; from physical sketchbook & 2B-6B pencils to Digital Drawing. Because I\'ve practiced with Adobe CC, such as Adobe Photoshop CC, Illustrator CC, Light room CC, and In Design CC, from 20••••20. And most recently, I\'ve also received my Adobe Certified Associate. I recently graduated from Full Sail University for M.F.A. in Media Design. I\'m also a Storyboard Artist, which is adding sophisticated artwork for graphic storytelling with software(s) like Krita. I\'m also a Web Graphic Designer, who creates quality visual websites.\"Performing at a high level of excellence is always a choice; an act of will. Highly competent people always go the extra mile.\"-John C. Maxwell.\"In all fields, the key to ultimate success is acquiring as many skills as possible.\"-Robert Greene \"Mastery\" I practice my habit of screen-writing, story-editing, and sketching almost every day, and can draw proficient with my less dominant hand. I’m also a Musician + Entrepreneur, who creates quality songs to a digital album and sells them for a fair price on his website. I’m also a Certified Track Coach, who can coach a whole team if needed to.

Experience

1. Hip Hop Artist

   I don\'t work there, but that\'s how I\'d got to learn about what it means to be an independent Musician. A Musicpreneur, which is a Musician + Entrepreneur combined together. It\'s full time, because I had to buy an MXL Tempo Recording USB Microphone, MixPad Multitrack Recording Software, & Switch Sound Converter. And thanks to my B.F.A. in such fields like Graphic Design and Web Design, I have displayed on my website.
