My name is Ken Stark, I’m a web and graphic designer currently living in Indianapolis, Indiana. At present I am employed by Ken Long & Associates, for whom I handle all of their web sites, plus most print design work and some of the logo designs. Ken Long & Associates is a special events company, putting on running and walking events such as the Indianapolis Women’s Half-Marathon. Having new events each year keeps me fairly busy designing new logos, print pieces and lately, websites for the various events. I’ve been working at KLA for over 9 years at this time, starting just out of high school.
My professional interests include designing websites, using tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and building them using Dreamweaver. I enjoy using WordPress, the 960 grid system, and other tools of the craft. I’m always looking to learn more about what I do. The one thing about this industry that seems a constant, is there is always more to learn.
I also enjoy print design, and plan on putting some of my print pieces into my portfolio. For those projects I typically use a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator, and bring it all together and design the layout in InDesign.
Outside of work, well I like to do personal design projects, playing around in Photoshop. I’ll also relax with a good book, something sci-fi usually, or play some video games. I’m pretty much a big geek.
