About

Me 2 bw

My name is Rowena Forbes.  I am a native Mainiac, freelance graphic artist, full-time graphic specialist and free-time student of design.

I have been working as a professional graphic designer for more than 10 years. I specialize in logo development, print-based marketing materials, individualized web graphics and large format design. I am also well versed in the intricacies of pre-press and pagination.  My goal is to help my clients increase their business through image development, quality printing and affordable prices. I also offer design work for more personal use, such as, invitations, greeting cards, posters and photo enlargements.
