Personnel

Marc Oldham has been working in the design field for over a decade designing communication materials for highly visible local and national clients. Marc has a keen eye for design, an accute attention to detail and is deadline driven.

Marc studied graphic design, fine art and illustration while attending Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. Throughout college he freelanced at a local print shop named Victory Printing Company, located in West Philadelphia. Marc's design career started with a photo-stat machine and paste-up boards, Xacto Knives, and Rubylithe. He was able to experience and embrace the industry-wide paradigm shift from traditional design customs to the now digital workflow.

For more than five years Marc worked in a digital and traditional photography studio servicing national accounts called Hone Studio, located in Philadelphia, PA. He produced work including menus, catalogs, cookbooks, convention panels, web sites, and web graphics.

Setting up Macintosh workstations and administering Mac OS X servers was an essential skill that Marc was able to develop. He was also fortunate enough to be a central part of a software development team that created an Internet based, image search and retrieval QuarkXPress Extension, designed for the supermarket industry called ADAPS. Marc evaluated the functional aspects of the software package, where his feedback directly determined how the user would ultimately experience the software.

After departing from Hone Studio, Marc became an independent and focused solely on Oldham Design. Marc now entertains his own clients producing a range of work for print and interactive communications.

Designers, illustrators, photographers, printers, copywriters and software developers are just a small handful of people he has been able to collaborate with. Marc has a drive for learning new technology, designing original concepts and developing for the worldwide web.
