ABOUT DAVID
I was asked some time ago to write up a “Professional Biography in the Third Person.” Here is the result of that challenge:
David McCord has a wide range of experience in the field of graphic design, has worked in agencies and corporate environments as Creative Director, Technical Illustrator, and Graphic Designer. He owned and managed his own design firm for over 12 years, managing a staff of up to seven employees. He has worked with clients large and small to develop compelling designs for marketing communications, managing creative projects from concept to production, including coordination with vendors and creative resources. This includes traditional ink-on-paper collateral from postcards to 300-page books, displays for trade shows and retail, product packaging and user documentation, outdoor advertising, brand development, video production, and graphics for digital marketing. David is an expert-level user of the Adobe Creative Suite, a host of related software utilities, and has a working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications.
Yes, the new website’s up now! The links above will lead you to several collections of my illustration work. I can also help with other graphic design projects, including designing the documents that use my technical drawings. Thanks for your interest!
I was recently featured on a video channel called “Chatting Locally” with videographer Duane Weed. We talked about my work on user manuals and instructional materials. These are illustrations that can be animated and included in video classes, too! Here’s the link to the discussion: Chatting Locally / YouTube.
I was honored by members of the Ionia Area Chamber of Commerce with an award for “Citizen of the Year” for 2017. Based mostly on my volunteer work in the community, the awards ceremony was topped off by a certificate from the Governor of Michigan. Thanks to my friends and associates in the Ionia area.
