About Brian Eller

A little about me. I have been working with computers well over half of my life.(Actually, more like 3/4ths by now). I have been active in the \"online community\" almost as long. I designed my first web page in 1995. I\'ve enjoyed writing, and drawing for as long as I can remember. My father started teaching me about Photography basically from the time I was big enough to hold a camera. I enjoy working with people, and I enjoy working on my own. I have done software pre-release testing for several projects, I was a BBS (Bulletin Board System) SysOp for several years, before the Internet made BBS\'s a thing of the past; and later applied these same skills as a Webmaster. I\'ve found the opportunity to blend all of these things that I enjoy together, in a career in Graphic Arts. Doing something I love to do and make a living doing it.I am always looking for opportunities to network and form partnerships with new people and organizations. Specialties: Web Design, Social Media management, Graphic Arts, Digital and Print Collateral. Expertise with Adobe CS5, CS6, and CC suites, Final Cut Pro, Writing, Photography.

Experience

1. Principal Creative Director

   Weirs Beach Media Group

   Feb 1992 — Present · Laconia, NH, US

   Professional Graphic Design and Web Site Development services.Founded in 1992, originally operating as an Independant computer consultant, specializing in communications. In June of 1998, paperwork was filed, and the independent consulting business began doing business as Showcase Data Systems, a hardware/software/networking and Internet sales, service and support company offering graphic design and web development as a side project. In April of 2002 the company underwent a significant reorganization, moving graphic art to the primary focus of the company. Continuing to operate as a solo operation, the business operated part of the time under the Showcase Data name, and part of the time as a freelance operation. Things continued like this until 2009, when the name Pixels n\' Stuff Media Services was adopted. As Pixels n\' Stuff, the company began to grow, changing from a one-man operation to a team. The company went through a bit of an identity crisis, changing names a couple more times. Today, WBMG operates as a full service Visual Communications boutique, offering services including Graphic Design, Web Design and Development, Public Relations, Social Media Management and Marketing, Promotions and Advertising. I have also transitioned with the company, going from the sole service technician in the early days, to the Creative Director, overseeing a team of creative professionals. However, I don\'t just handle the administrative tasks. I still enjoy designing and creating myself.
