Fran Sherman, Creative Director/Art Director/Graphic Designer

About: Hello, I am a freelance, multi-award winning, graphic designer/creative director in St. Louis, MO, and have been in business for myself since 1985. I have a ton of experience designing everything print and marketing related: ads, brochures, newsletters, magazines, media kits, annual reports, folders with insert sheets, mailers and flyers, publications, billboards and signage, point of purchase displays, logos & corporate identity packages…the list goes on. My clientele ranges from very tiny businesses to Fortune 100, and covers all types of vocations.

For the past 2 decades, magazine design has become my "niche" of choice. I design many from cover-to-cover on an ongoing basis, and they span a very wide range of genres, styles, sizes, and target markets. Whether it's a well-established publication or a brand new launch, I am responsible for the complete design (and re-design as the case may be), as well as print prep and preparation for digital editions.

I am very passionate about my work, and I'm also extremely dependable and deadline-oriented...besides being very creative! Complete client satisfaction is my mission...and I don't stop until that mission is accomplished.

Samples: The following link will display a bunch of my magazines that can be viewed in their entirety: www.shermanstudios.com (my magazines are all listed under the name “Sherman Studios” on the site). I also have many links on this site that contain selected spreads and pages pulled from my various magazines.

Many, many more samples of my work are available upon request. I would welcome the opportunity to work with you. Thanks for your time!
