ABOUT ME
Hi, my name is Randy Sebesta...and I’m a performance-driven and highly creative professional multimedia designer with an eye for detail and a passion for creating graphic art. I have been using Adobe Software since 1997, when I first used Adobe Photoshop 5.0. I now have extensive experience in all of Adobe's Software programs, 15+ years, and a mix of skills and knowledge in all areas of computer design including print, illustration, animation, 3D, video, and Web/Mobile UI design.
As a Graphic Designer I design and create visuals used in promotion, advertising & marketing for both digital and pre-press printed content. I've worked with printing companies running jobs on Heidelberg Speed master printing presses I am familiar with setting up artwork for 4 color CMYK printing and screens, PMS spot, Hot foil stamping, emboss, deboss, binding etc. I've worked with printing companies using Grand Format printing, large format printing and Wide format printing and I've created artwork compliant to that equipment. I've also worked with screen printers for sign making and textile screen printing of fabric T-Shirts using negatives and emulsion. I create logos and branding to establish corporate identity with the use of color, artistic flare, and Adobe design software. I can put a face on a company that is both visually compelling and unique in the marketplace.
As a Multimedia Designer I've expanded my knowledge of design over the years learning to create engaging presentations incorporating sound, music, special effects, video, and animation using some of the greatest software tools Adobe has ever made Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects. I am fully capable of editing video sequences, setting up comps, adding music and sound design. I understand all things technical about digital video formats such as Codecs, containers, bitrates, frame rates, resolutions, 4k, 2k, YouTube, Vimeo and how DLSR cameras work with light, aperture, shutter, and lens.
As a Web Designer I hardcode websites in Visual Studio Code in HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP/SQL. The first website I created was in 1998 using a software called Frontpage in HTML1. Today, I design dynamic responsive websites that work with desktops, phones and tablets with various screen sizes and resolutions. I am very knowledgeable about how websites are developed with CSS, PHP, WordPress and HTML coding, optimization of images, fonts, and web icons. Having several websites over the years, I am knowledgeable about browsers, hosting control panel, Bootstrap Grid, WordPress, and other tools used to design and host websites. I also understand SEO, online marketing and setting up, maintaining, and importing products for e-commerce solutions such as Shopify, WooCommerce etc.
There is so much to learn about computer art and design and recently within the last few years I've been fascinated with 3D design. Having used Blender 3D for about 3 years I am now capable of creating 3D renderings, 3D models, texturing, animation, and scenes used for entertainment, demonstration, advertisement, and presentation as well as interactive virtual reality environments.
I have extensive knowledge and experience building computer workstations from hardware components configuring computer devices and peripherals installing computer software and drivers troubleshooting and providing solutions to technical problems.
