Online Blog-folio
(Traditional Resume Posted Below)
View my page on FOLIO: mediaPRO
Link to My Linked In Page
Statement: Welcome to my online 'blog-folio', where I am proud to offer a visual representation of my professional accomplishments as an Editor In Chief and Creative Director. Over the course of the past fifteen years, I have been heavily involved in all phases of media - including print, internet, broadcast (video) production and special event development.
Whether engaged in an entrepreneurial venture - or as part of a group of people working together to achieve a common goal - I believe that the union of components; words, photography, illustration, and type - is a compelling challenge to be addressed from a unique perspective based on each individual instance.
While it is obviously tempting to construct a website with all the bells and whistles, to me, it seems that 'keeping it simple' is the best way to communicate the message at hand. In this environment, my work speaks for itself.
I have decided that a blog is the most effective way to communicate the scope of the projects that I have been involved with and look forward to providing updated postings of work that I have created and exciting projects that I am part of.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or questions you may have.
Best Regards,
Jonathan Levine
