Elaine Monteiro's Company Details

Computer Graphics is My PassionWith a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Indiana University in 1978, one of my first Jobs was with Proctor and Gamble, where I was introduced to the world of business presentations, and using a computer to create slides. This was a big "wow" factor for me, which seated a deep belief that one day all graphics would be created using computers.Business Presentations and Marketing CollateralWell since then, I have worked almost exclusively creating business graphics for presentations and printed collateral for marketing communications. My experience with computer graphics blossomed from dedicated slide making systems like Autographix, to Mac and PC based programs like Microsoft Office programs, Aldus Pursuasion and FreeHand, then when Adobe hit the scene, I mastered Illustrator and Photoshop.Effective, Result-focused PresentationsMy passion is helping companies convey an effective message about their products and services in a way that is creative and impactful. And that's what my specialty is, taking raw data and concepts and creating simple and effective designs that tell a compelling message. My process is an intial consultations where I learn what are your key messages and goals. If you don't already have a template, I can create a few options that reflect your companies identity. Since Powerpoint and Keynote have limited abilities when creating images I use high-level design programs, like Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator to create compelling graphics. The end result is a presentation that communicates a clear, concise story that targets your audience. And, I can do all this quickly and cost effectively
