About Kevin Duvalle

I have experience as an Art Director and Graphic Designer. I also have a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design from Cardinal Stritch University. My experience includes designing for all forms of print media such as catalogs, annual reports, brochures, flyers, sales sheets, newsletters, print ads, posters, billboards, invitations, trade show graphics, vehicle graphics and retail store displays. I have also recently added website design to my skill set. I’ve designed for PowerPoint presentations and three dimensional product packaging including tube, bottle and. aerosol can labels. Some of the clients and businesses I have designed for include Duracell, Rayovac, Scott’s Turf, John Deer, GE Healthcare Institute, Repel Insect Repellent, Western Snowplows, Play It Again Sports, Kings Way Homes, Shorewest, Milwaukee Ballet, The Wreath Factory at Otter Creek, Ace World Wide Moving and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International. I also utilized my other passion, photography, by performing freelance wedding, portrait and product photography. As art director at WPC Brands (Wisconsin Pharmacal Company) then as the art director/graphic designer at the Social Development Commission, I served as the entire in-house creative and design department. I worked on multiple projects concurrently, taking them from concept through completion. I worked closely with the marketing and sales teams to determine campaign creative and to brainstorm concepts for new product launches. I was also responsible for photographing finished product packaging and models demonstrating our products.I am proficient with the Adobe Creative Suite: In-Design, Illustrator, Photoshop and Dreamweaver; and in Microsoft Office programs: Word, PowerPoint and Excel. These are all software I use on a daily basis. I\'m also proficient with QuarkXPress.Portfolio samples:portfolio.html
