JoAnn Barnes by Design

Welcome!

I am an exceptional Photo Editor with over 12 years of experience working with some of the best brand, design, and marketing agencies in the industry.

My professional expertise is in background/object removal, compositing, clipping paths, image manipulation, image masking, shadow creations, image retouching, and color correction, etc.

I have extensive experience and invest countless hours to refine my craft to produce high-quality images. I am detail-oriented and truly have a passion for this work! I am no stranger to tight deadlines and will meet your requirements to the best of my ability.

I’ve produced packaging and POP displays for major clients, such as Reckitt Benckiser-AirWick, Heater Meals, Schwans-Burger King, Cafe Carolina and Bakery, Steak-n-Shake, and Boston Market.

Worked mainly on point of purchase for Carls Jr. and Hardees which involved working with the designers and account managers in building out all mechanicals for window clings, menu board translites, menu board banners, register cards, ceiling danglers, coupons, and menus. Also, played an important part in producing all mechanicals for international menu boards including China, Mexico, Indonesia, Russia, Singapore, and Malaysia.

I was promoted as an Assistant Studio Manager at The Clear Blue because of my creative and dedicated service to clients. I had the pleasure of working on projects for Char-Broil, JanPak, Liugong, DTI, Spiroflow, and Hays Fluid Controls. I worked closely with the studio manager, training all interns, accountable for all projects in Studio Managers absence, responsible for all day-to-day client proof markups on projects and proposals for training opportunities for the studio.

Also assist senior graphic designers, creating templates for quality control and consistency and proofing all projects. Now working for HMH Agency. My position is Production Designer but the true magic is in the retouching. Retouching is my passion! My keen eye for detail complements all aspects of my work.
